I have to echo asbarratt's review, yet without quite as much praise for the acting. Not that there was anything wrong with it--there isn't, but, I didn't think it really deserved a "superb" because there wasn't anything really outstanding about it. The characters are handled well, the dialog is pretty standard for a Christian movie, and I really like movies where "the good guys win" and likewise, where evil doesn't triumph.
That's the problem I have with so many movies--they simply don't represent reality when they pretend to be doing so.
I have nothing against fantasy movies and like very many of them, but injecting false paradigms in "reality" movies is very annoying to me and that's where most Hollywood movies fail and this one succeeds.
That's why I rated it so highly. Because I like movies that represent things well, and this is superb in that regard.
It is a "feel good" movie and the title is well chosen. If you love chick flicks, have a tender heart, or like happy endings, this movie is better than the current "5.6" rating it's received.
