I'll admit that Christian films are getting better, but this wasn't one of those steps forward. Not enough editing, not enough re-writing. Too many characters, too many jokes. No budget for decent music.
To be honest, it's a hard genre. Non-Christians don't care about us taking a "hard look" at our own weaknesses. And all their presuppositions about irrelevance are propagated by a film like this. So they don't want to watch. Christians would like to see their own story and culture on the big screen....but not in such cringe-worthy fashion. So they rarely watch...or do so begrudgingly.
I'm going to go watch "Mom's Night Out" again.
