Why do American christians have to portray atheists as unhappy and lost? What absolute rubbish! We're happy, fulfilled, we live our lives to the fullest because we're only here once, we do good things and we help others regardless of their beliefs. We're also great parents, raising wonderful children to be amazing adults, but oh no...an American Christian movie always portrays an atheist parent as a bad parent. This movie makes an atheist look miserable. Garbage brainwashing or a pitiful attempt to validate their own religion, but it's pathetic to what lengths christians will go to in order to feel better about themselves. This movie and it's message is pumped up arrogance. Religion doesn't teach people to be decent. Everyone I know is kind, decent and caring for family and strangers, yet by the comments I see apparently christians believe we're not. Meanwhile, evangelists have one sex scandal after another. No wonder people find American christians annoying, such arrogance and ignorance about others.

Trite tearjerker, that you will watch and say haven't I seen this before? Not original, very preachy. Sorbo isn't bad as an actor, but should have found another director. Will probably do well on the church basement tour. Not awful, but definitely lacking in many departments. Muddled movie trying to bring a message of faith at the expense of entertainment. Sorbo should have stuck to either being director or star. Have seen better on made for TV movies.

Reading the negative reviews I almost skipped the movie when it popped up on Amazon Prime. But with Sorbo, who I enjoyed in other movies, I gave it a chance. Glad I did. Good story, good acting, and well produced. Yes, it is a movie about faith and overcoming, but more than that it's worth watching and quite enjoyable.

I've been watching more TV than any other time in my life. It was great to watch a relevant movie about a family that goes through death, distress, sorrow, loss, and remains hope-filled. You don't have to agree with everything in this flick. I have yet to find any movie except one, 1995 P & P, that I don't find things that I don't like. A great movie to enjoy with the whole family. Stay hopeful. These are tough times. Family & friends are all that matter.

Chock full of the favorite myths of Christians about non-Christians, this groaner just serves to preach to the already bloated egos of its choir. The plot is boring and predictable, the main character a laughable caricature, and the writing falls right in with the current political climate in encouraging people to give in to hate and fear of the "other". That the acting is so poor is almost forgivable considering the script. Among the ridiculous straw men: atheist who is really just a misotheist who "hates god" after a personal tragedy, atheist who converts on deathbed, atheist who cares only about drinking and partying and mocking people, atheist who somehow magically discards all reason for mythical thinking with no impetus whatsoever. I'd find it absurd if so many Christians didn't actually believe this rubbish.
