It's 5th grade at a private all-boys Catholic school in Philadelphia for Joshua A. Beal. He is still dealing with the death of his beloved grandfather (Robert Loggia). There are his parents (Dana Delany, Denis Leary) and his older sister (Julia Stiles). David is his rebellious best friend. Sister Terry (Rosie O'Donnell) and Sister Sophia (Camryn Manheim) are two of his teachers. Joshua has questions about God and goes on a search.
Let's be real. I was intrigue with this because of M. Night Shyamalan before he made Sixth Sense. I've never heard of it. It's a bit slow. There are some good bits but it struggles to build up speed. His search for God needs to be more pronounced and defined. Why not make it his assignment? The assignment could be writing about someone they don't know and he decides that he doesn't know God. Quite frankly, it would be a great Christian movie concept. I do like the rescue, the speech, and finally the twist reveal. It would help if the premise has more narrative drive.
