There is such a need for quality Christian movies with good messages and I was really hoping this would be better than it was. Just speaking from a literary view the plot was a complete mess. I can occasionally get behind a really out there slapstick comedy but this was just beyond what I can bear. The start of the movie made me think maybe there could be some good but it quickly descended into chaos. The theme seemed intended to be about family and placing more focus on how God desires for a family to be. The way this message was put across by this movie totally made light of other VERY serious issues with some main characters. The most glaring is that of the rival dad Eddie Sanders. I'm shocked at the level of manipulation, pride, and self pitty displayed in this character and then for it to all be seemingly resolved by admitting that he essentially kidnapped Tommy into the woods to make his wife care about him. I can appreciate them for trying to show that as Christians none of us are perfect, but wow if I met people like this in real life, I would not want to be around them. Again, this is a work of fiction, but when making a film that has biblical values there has got to be a better way.
