Awesome. Must watch with your wife or husband.

Invited and went to a Baptist viewing and it packed the house out TWICE.

Read the book and watched the movie, it's good

What a typical guy comment! :roll: :D You know, your wife would probably appreciate you watching it with her...

and.. it is slightly better than a hallmark movie. :)

On Valentine"s Day 8 of us couples from the church got together and watched it. Several of the girls were crying, even a couple of the guys got a little teary eyed. It was for sure one of Kirk's better movies.

Great movie! I went thinking it was going to either be a Hallmark movie or a bad "B" movie. I was surprised! It was very good and it was fun snuggling with my wife during the movie.

OK...my two cents:

The fact that many of the actors in the movie were not professionals did show in the movie. (they appeared to be reading cue cards) And some of the emotional scenes were rather flat.

The story line was great in some spots but really flat in others...coulda used a little help. Many of the scenarios were very real to life where others were obviously phony.

All in all it was a good movie. Not something to take children (teenagers) to see. But any college age child would learn well from some of the themes in this movie.

Considering the budget they had to work with...decent job!!!

Could it have been done better with some of the rough spots ironed out?
Probably so.

Avoid it because of the "rough spots"?
Definately not!
