chow913 Cheese With Mold Is A Recipe For Disaster What happens when you mix a bad script with REALLY bad actors and photographers and editors working out of their parents' basement? You get a bad movie! Jake is a poor spoiled rich boy. Captain of the football team, wealthy family, blonde cheerleader lover, etcetera.But Jake has a religious epiphany that there's more to high school life than sex, drugs, and rock and roll, after his token black childhood friend brings a gun to school and commits suicide.The friend was crippled after he pushed Jake out of the path of speeding car. As a result he was mocked and shunned by the whole school. If he'd actually gone postal and killed some bullies along with himself this film MIGHT have been interesting.Jake feels guilty for abandoning his friend and joins a local church youth group and tries to help other shunned kids.Not only is this film predictable and boring but the quality of basic film making makes Coleman Francis look like Orson Wells.SKIP IT!!! If they show this on an airplane, walk out. If they show this at your church convert to another religion. How the hell this is averaging 6.6 stars is beyond me.
Erik Labieniec ***SPOILERS*** OK first and foremost sitting through this movie was the most tedious experience of my life. After the main character Alex's childhood friend commits suicide Alex starts questioning his life decisions, and who he wants to be, whatever I get that, but the way it is done is so cloche that it loses the movies credibility. I mean Alex has to be one of the most unbelievable characters in a movie since mickey Rourke in well any movie. And i don't mean that in a good way like his character consistently drove me away from this film. Finale, what really got me agitated is that i had to watch this movie in school. Can they not see it is a Christian movie, it is not completely in your face but sets the foundation for every scene. The only reason this movie got a 3 and not a 1 is because it is not Titanic: The Legend Goes On.
skilletfanatic17 I absolutely loved this movie. A friend of mine told me constantly to watch it, and at first i was hesitant to because i've seen Christian movies before and they all tend to have crappy acting, thin storyline, cliché lines, and just be overall cheesy. But after like the 20th time of her telling me i said OK and i watched. Afterwards i immediately thanked her because this movie is incredible. It's not about religion, it's not about coming to Christ, it's not about changing your life or anything like that, but it's about what a Christians true mission in life should be, which is saving lives and impacting the world around you. Jake didn't just become some Christian and then sit at home reading his bible and then go sit at church every Sunday, he acted to make a difference on the lives of the people around him. he did everything he could to let the hurt kids know that he saw them, they weren't alone, and someone would miss them if they took there life. The acting, the drama, the humor, the message, all excellent in this movie.
We Cry Out and as most will say that this is a great movie for teens. i beg to differ and couldn't believe this movie might be seen at churches. 1. bad language 2 and the rest (ie sexual references and etc). lifeway had it at their store and i can't believe they would have such stuff there but then again the times are changing! i'm sure its pretty close to whats been happening with teens for years but how could someone come to Christ with the language and etc...and i hope a church didn't make this film because if they did, they need to re-evaluate their standards. i do like the story for changing lives and saving them from destruction but the story would have been just as good without the partial nudity and language and some other points. definitely not a wholesome Christian family movie!
