Ohmygosh - I watched this film while puttering about - thank God! SO grateful that I didn't actually just WATCH it. It is one of the worst films ever. Throughout the ghastly thing, I kept thinking, "this is one of the worst films I've ever seen - it's as bad as those Christian films." Well, guess what? It IS one of those Christian films.The acting is terrible. The writing is even worse. I can't say anything about the directing because everything else was so bad, I wouldn't know where the director's hand is in there. Everything felt like middle schoolers had written a story and decided to put a show in over a holiday weekend - so amateurish and clumsy. No character was believable. And the premise at the start? Ridiculous! A mysterious 50-something fellow comes to town and saves everyone from their various troubles. He's a PERFECT man. He could be Jesus. He had been in the Peace Corps and he's literally better than everyone else in that town of greedy, pathetic, hopeless, conniving jerks. Only the bartender and his wife are decent. He falls in love with a ridiculous, empty-headed, selfish, hard- partying alcoholic 20-something girl. Really? A guy with those attributes and as old as he is falls in love with a vapid drunk? C'mon!!The film is a sledgehammer of anti-choice, right-wing rubbish. SO glad I didn't pay for it - and so glad I was organizing my drawers while watching it. If I had sat down and watched without doing anything else, I would be very unhappy over the lost time.Now, if I can get back those 35 neurons that this terrible thing destroyed, I will be happy.

suspenseful and had good music. great movie to watch for romance. The direction was terrific and the actors brought quirks and life. Loved Robert Davi. There was a scene towards the end where the female lead jenn gotzon was electric. oh and I loved john schneider singing. so charming

I believe the right wing agenda is up to their old tricks again. this is one of the worst movie ever. acting, plot, everything was at its worst. i did not realize the subject matter was about abortions until the end. it was as if the makers wanted to hide this fact from viewers in order to trick them into seeing it. it was preachy,lousy acting, dialog and judgmental. I don't mind a movie with a message but this one was just not well done. some of the theater goers looked as zombie like as some of the actors in the movie. I really have a hard time understanding how this movie gets more than 1 star. the ending's message seemed incoherent to me.

This movie is one that has an encouraging message about the value of life very much like Its a Wonderful Life. It will make you think and want to talk about it with someone immediately after.It has been a while since I have seen a good movie with a Sixth Sense type revelation at the end.Though it is rated PG 13 it is a clean film. Here is the content in case you are wonderingLanguage: no four letter words.Violence: there is a gunman who tries to hold up a bar for $ there are a few wild shots fired, punches thrown, bottles thrown, very little blood. Later there is an attempted murder and characters respond aggressively in self defense. Sexuality: a character tries (unsuccessfully) to seduce another (implied nudity). Man in a towel after a shower. Themes: Accusation of attempted rape. Alcoholism and heavy drinking. Mysterious Stalker presence implied throughout the first two acts.In my opinion all edgy/questionable content is not glorified, instead it is contrasted against the positive choices made by the upstanding lead character who displays good morals and decision making.I recommend it.
