Short and sweet review: if this is as good as it gets, I'm staying as far from the book as possible. Nothing--and I repeat, NOTHING--with Kirk Cameron can ever be high-quality, and a preachy, cheesy, should-have-been-made-for-straight-to-video movie least of all. Me thinks some folks are watching this through their God-tinted glasses, and not seeing it for the drek it is.
