i want to state first that i be a christian ( and that i do work in the film and tv industry ) so i understand what it be like to work on a feature length film so prop to the filmmaker in that regard . i be all for positive and uplifting message if they be true to the nature of life ( that this be a fallen world and that thing do not always work out . even for follower of christ ) . i be glad that others be have such overwhelmingly positive reaction to the overt christian message while for me it be just that the execution be where the film fell on it face . a movie live and die on it story and here you have one dimensional stereotype and exposition aplenty and and spontaneous change in character behavior that be inexplicably to say the least . i believe that a film do not have to club you over the head with it message to get the point across . i be sure the kendrick bros. will improve with time and that their storytelling method will as well . maybe they could direct someone else screenplay a their next project . sport film be not exactly my first love but a good one ( hoosier and field of dream and etc ) can inspire in a multitude of way . if you would be interested in a pg rat film that inspire and give steven soderbergh king of the hill a look . all truth be god truth .
