Frustratingly disappointing
27 April 2015
I was really looking forward to seeing this movie. I've enjoyed many Disney movies in my life and was eager to see a story of the man's life. My wife and I recently saw Saving Mr. Banks which was wonderful. But this ... We couldn't believe the poor acting. It was like seeing a Junior High play where all the kids had learned their lines well, but the acting and sets were amateur and incredibly poorly done. I'm glad I missed this movie in the theaters and only lost the rental fee. I think we made it about half way through before we quit because it was obvious it wasn't going to get any better. With the movie still running, I went to my computer, read the other reviews on this site and decided not to waste my time. I didn't know this movie was produced by some well-meaning Christians. I am a Christian and appreciate actors and producers who seek to promote Christ and the Christian life and world-view in the arts. There are an increasing number of great movies out there that present an authentic Christian perspective well and engagingly. I read the reviews and repeatedly notice an anti-Christian bias by the reviewer that does not correlate with the crafting of the movie. This was not like that. This movie was just poorly done. And as such,it does a disservice with no redeeming quality.
