I'm sure the religious extremists will love this movie all because it follows their religion. However, the story is convoluted with too many plots for us to keep track of. Which plot are we supposed to care about exactly? The pastors failing church? The hippie movement? Greg Laurie's drug addiction? His love life? Or maybe the fact his dad left him when he was a kid leaving him with his do nothing mother? This movie throws it all at you and tries to wrap it all together to make it look connected... but fails miserably.

The pacing is horrible and really seems exhaustingly drawn out. They could have cut the scenes with Greg Laurie's mom or him when he was younger waiting for his dad... they had 0 effect on the overall plot. Also we are led to believe that the Frisbee character was a charlatan and attention hog (like most preachers, Laurie included) but they never really make it clear.

Laurie pushed this as his "testimony" but he really wasn't the focus of this movie. Grammar's character was. I also find it ironic that in other interviews Laurie said he had to work to get his first church, but in the movie he was given it by Grammar for free. But seeing as how Laurie is an admitted former druggie, his mind is a little damaged (why else would he buy into christianity?).

All in all this movie is your typical bible thumper wet dream. They shove their beliefs down the audiences throat... and of course everyone in the movie buys the message hook line and sinker... which they hope everyone in the audience will do the same. I know Laurie and other religious fundamentalist are hoping for another "Jesus Revolution"... But isn't, I hope we see an atheist revolution.

3/10
