dom-powells I'll admit that I was skeptical of this movie based on the descriptions I'd read. In the end I was pleasantly surprised by how heartfelt and entertaining it was. I rarely watch so-called "Christian" movies because I usually find them to be saccharine with simple and obvious plot-lines. However, this man-on-the-street style exploration of the meaning of being Christ-followers was unique and honest. The thing that a lot of movie makers do wrong in exploring religion is going in with an intent to undermine the religion, taking parts of the religion out of context and kind of making fun of it. This movie was different in that aspect as they pointed to scripture and discussed the meaning. I especially liked the fact that it was from the perspective of four young males from what seems like a well-to-do part of Texas (Highland Park, TX...not sure if all of them are from there) because they could easily go on making up their own rules about life and religion with little or no challenge, but they took time to really question their own beliefs. My two critiques are that the viewer isn't left with much of an idea of how the guys fared after college (but I guess that's what sequels are for) and the postcard thing was a loose end (there was a brief mention of how it resolved in the end, but it wasn't clear why that was included in the first place). I would recommend this movie to anyone ready to question long-held religious beliefs.
mckenziefrancismedia I watched this documentary for the first time in 2012. It made me laugh AND gave me a stronger desire to live out the faith I believe in. It is a great combination.Young Christians who have grown up in the church can totally relate to the humor and the questions that these four guys present. I think the film is definitely made for the young Christian audience that just wants to see someone who's willing to be honest and talk about the topics that Christians sometimes avoid.As a young Christian filmmaker, this documentary inspired me. The four guys in the film were completely honest about themselves and their struggles, and they didn't hesitate to be the crazy college guys that they were. I have never seen another Christian-made documentary like this one. Most Christian documentaries are geared towards a much older generation and are often deal with more dramatic/dark issues. It is so refreshing to watch this and see someone else has dealt with the same issues I and many other young Christians have dealt with. The film is definitely not perfect, but it is entertaining and effective with its unique style and purpose. I would love to see more films and documentaries made for a young Christian audience. I love sharing Beware of Christians with other young Christians and will continue to do so.
gjpaco2 In a short review: They seemed zealous for the kingdom. There I know for a fact that it is possible to overcome the personal addiction with lust that they have. Anyone can do it as long as they are willing to suffer/abstain/turn away from/ resist and not give in to the temptation and get into the word of God. Few are willing to. That's one reason why the bible says the one must deny himself take up his cross and follow him. It may not be easy, but it is possible. This for me has not been an easy journey to discover, but through the grace of God it is possible. This is just one disturbing message that I got from the video. I also would have liked for them to speak about reading the Bible more and being in fellowship to reprove and build one another up.
lynnlux Visitng 6 major European cities to talk to Americans temporarily living in those cities is NOT anywhere near exploring European cultures. Please! These kids visit London, Paris, Rome, etc. and due to their lack of language skills, they pick up Americans living/visiting those cities to talk about Christianism. What kind of journalism is that? These kids are boring, obnoxious, and uncultured, which perfectly reflects their documentary. I was looking forward to getting a new, fresh outlook on things, but this movie didn't provide me with what I was looking for. What a wast of time. The European...(not from Paris, London, or Rome)
