Trivia:
Kirk Cameron, a Christian evangelist, refuses to kiss any woman other than his wife. To film a scene in which his character in this movie kisses his wife, the filmmakers had to dress Cameron's real-life wife, Chelsea Noble, as the wife character (played throughout the rest of the movie by Erin Bethea) and shoot the kissing scene in shadow so the difference between Noble and Bethea would not be as evident on screen. more

Quotes:
Catherine Holt: What are you doing?
Caleb Holt: I see you left me no pizza.
Catherine Holt: Caleb, I just lit that candle. I like the way it smells.
Caleb Holt: Well, I don't! Did you leave me any dinner at all?
Catherine Holt: I assumed you were eating with Michael.
Caleb Holt: Does it not occur to you that there are two people living in this house and both of them need to eat?
Catherine Holt: You know what, Caleb, if you would communicate with me, maybe I can have something for you.
Caleb Holt: Why do you have to make everything so difficult?
Catherine Holt: Oh, I'm making everything difficult? Seems to me like I'm carrying the weight around here while you're off doing your own thing.
Caleb Holt: Excuse me? I'm the one working out there to pay this mortgage, and I pay for both of the cars.

2/10
Author: ramdimdb from cosmic grain

This is one of the best inspirational/spiritual movies I have seen. And I have only seen a few. So I guess it is actually OK to have such bad acting, blunt church messages enough for a couple of Sunday sermons etc. Both leads are totally not credible although the husband passes sometimes. The wife, the doctor and the parents are flat unidimensional characters. I think the thing that perplexed me the most is why on earth did they omit the extra character from the cast list:JHC - as "The ghost". His presence and effective acting was better than the entire cast... To be true, you have to admit: This is a religious movie. It preaches about family values and if you want to have them, you will understand what JC can do for you and that he alone and only he can do it for you.
