Ratings and reviews

Feel good movie, but strong religious messaging, that was anything but subtle. I felt it was trying to get me to “sign up”.. I feel this should have been stated “up front” in the description of the film. I don’t say this as an anti religious comment, I just feel pushing of the message took away from the story.

Its a great Christian movie, not that there's anything wrong with that these days, everybody's allowed to wear rainbows, be Goths, so why not love Jesus. Works for me !

I'm not a Believer. But I actually enjoy this movie 100% and it had a blind person in it so I like it even more. I will remember my box of tissues next time.
