If I wanted a sermon, I would go to church. This movie is light on sports, action, race relations, and the Tony Nathan story and heavy on the Jesus. As usual with preachy films, it is 45 minutes too long. And, as with "American Christianity", it has to ram Jesus down your gullet and never lets up and if you don't like the ramming, they scream persecution. Some mysterious goofball gets 5 minutes to preach to the kids and goes on for over an hour, just like the typical evangelical. Most of the kids convert, probably to shut him up. Then Jesus spreads like mold and everyone lives happy ever after. Save yourself 2 excruciating hours and clean your house instead. At least you will have accomplished something.
