| | A truly regrettable film. | 1fatts 04/09/2007 | This is a film that pretty much wastes everyone who is associated with it.
The plot has holes you could drive a truck through if you were interested enough to waste the gas. I'm not a Christian, but I know enough about basic doctrine to know that they have the religious perspectives on this pretty much wrong in almost every way. The actors say and do silly things as well as they can, but they are still silly things.
It's one of those films where you kind of wonder what get into all these people to get involved with such a thing in the first place. |
