I usually find Christian based movies a bit cheesy and sort of amateurish. This movie was not the case. I found this presentation done well and will be enjoyed by families who wish to revisit this Jesus Movement. I was sort of on the fringes of it and saw many who still embrace it.
Kelsey Grammar did a good job as Chuck Smith and we got to see what motivated him to create Calvary Chapel and. Joel Courtney was effective as Chuck Smith and Jonathan Roumie was very charismatic as Lonnie Frisbee.
Of course Chuck Smith's demons as a leader were not addressed as he predicted the world would end in 81 and was a fervent homophobe. Lonnie Frisbee died of AIDS and that was not mentioned, nor his divorce and homosexuality and Laurie was a Trump supporter which defects from the love and acceptance expressed in the film. Greg Laurie Is still alive and would love to see his take on those things.
I thought the music was great. I hope a cd of the songs is available.
