I am a huge fan of Christian/faith-based movies and this was awful. At the end, what was the point? The movie should have focused on Lefty and his mom, Eva and left the rest out. Rick being brain damaged and no one going to visit him in the hospital. The wife and son go for 2 minutes and then confront Rick's best friend about seeing him, which he never does. It's brought up that the church members Rick and his family attend don't visit, they never do. Ricks wife heads out to her family's for Christmas and their car breaks down at a gas station. There they meet the owner, who works on the car for hours and then the wife decides not to go. We don't get to know really anything about the gas station guy, though he and the wife talk a lot...nothiing happens there either. They eat a Christmas dinner together at the end, in total silence. We never find out what happens to Rick. I fast forwarded through a great deal of this movie so that I could get to "the good stuff" but it doesn't come until the very end, when Eva goes to church with Lefty and we know that at least for that night neither of them will commit suicide. But Lefty is still an alcoholic. So bad!!!!!!
