As a non-Christian I came to this film as I wanted to see Brett Dalton in a different role, as I had previously only seen him in Agents Of SHIELD. Also, the presence of one of my favourite wrestlers, Shawn Michaels, didn't hurt. This is a lovely lite-hearted film about a man near my own age finding his way in life. Very enjoyable.

Everybody should decide for themselves whether they want to believe in, and if so, in which deity/fictional character. This picture must have been funded by people with a poor world view, because in essence there is no story line - so it must be a (very poor) attempt at converting non-christians? I cannot see a different reason to put this out : it's that much of an empty shell, filled with (in my opinion) obnoxious, fake Christian values.I hope the people funding this thing (cannot possibly call this a movie), gave more to good causes actually helping people in need - which also would do more to benefit their obvious agenda.If the agenda wasn't conversion: get a different hobby/dream.. this is not where your talents shine.

This movie was everything I was hoping for and then some. So refreshing with an inspiring story line. No matter what your background may be, this movie has a message and a laugh for all audiences. Phenomenal acting from the cast, especially Anjelah Johnson! The cast had incredible chemistry and was able to seamlessly work together to craft this film. This movie takes you through a range of so many emotions - I was ready to throw my popcorn at the screen at one point when things got intense! I never took my eyes off the screen from start to finish during this movie - it captivates you and keeps you hooked. You'll feel like you know each character and have been through so much with each of them by the end of the movie. Such an incredible cast. Don't miss this one in theaters!

If you do, you will like this movie. Set in a wonderfully pleasant and scenic suburban Chicago town, boy with a troubled past but a good heart, meets girl with a successful but somewhat empty life. Predictable plot with predictable twists and turns (yes, that's an oxymoron), followed by the predictable happy ending. Because they are so predictable, romcoms only work when the characters are interesting and they are well written. In this case both were done right making for an enjoyable movie. The group of guy friends, which is a common component in romcoms, is a strength of this movie. Their interesting, their funny, they add real depth to the movie. The Christian theme works well and is kept in perspective. If you would enjoy a really good Hallmark Channel type of movie on the big screen, then this one is for you.
