Movie Review:

This is a bona fide Christian film. Let's go down the checklist:


•A derivative plot based on a well-known secular hit movie (The Family Man) or classic film (It's a Wonderful Life) - check
•Central white characters of pleasant disposition - check
•Friendly minority (usually African) supporting character - check
•A snotty teenage girl who is impulsively embarrassed by her parents - check
•A dope of a hero who has fallen/is falling away from grace - check
•A troubled marriage/relationship where the man is to blame - check
•A blameless, patient and good looking ("pretty" good looking, not "hot") wife/girlfriend who has theology all figured out and is waiting for the dope of a hero to get his stuff together - check
•The helpful and slightly humorous religious figure who leads the dope of a hero down the right path - check
•Obtuse references to Jesus - check
•A forced conversion scene where the dope of a hero breaks down and finally gives himself to Christ - check

All that is missing is the bald cancer-ridden twelve-year-old with a special insight into the Christian faith.
