Not a bad movie for family consumption. Humorous and pushes its point home (that Christians should act like Christians and not bigots) without being too nasty. I watched with my wife and two high school daughters ... we all enjoyed it. Of course, if you're "sophisticated" you might sneer at this film -- but take it for what it is, a simple story with a talented young cast (the star, Jena Malone, is refreshing!), and you'll find it's worth the time spent to watch it and the money spent to rent it. If there's anything to criticize, it's the film's short length. They could have done much more with it in a longer format. However, that's a minor criticism. Overall the film is solid and enjoyable.

I heard reviews like "this is a movie for people that hate religion ". That isn't true, this movie doesn't mock of religion, this movie mocks of those fanatics that only use religion as a excuse to cover their intolerance. If you want to know ,I 'm catholic ,and I wasn't offended by this movie. Actually I find more offensive when the " religious " people use the Bible or the name of God for acts of intolerance and hate. When his name is used in a useless war of fanatics. Besides that,this movie makes a good combination of comedy and drama,and work very well. The performances are good,and even when many parts of the story have very much elements with teen movies ,it also offer a interesting story with many good points. And again ,this movie didn't make fun or attack the religion.

Before I saw this movie everyone said it was making fun of Christians. I didn't see why this was so bad, there have been many movies making fun of Jewish and Indian people and no one said a word, so I watched the movie. What I saw was not offensive to Christians at all! It was a touching story about taking religion too seriously and I don't think it was specifically aimed at Christians. This movie is one of the best ever made! It was hilarious, but it had a very good message. I loved Mandy Moore as the "perfect" Christian girl! The rest of the actors and actresses were excellent too. See this movie if you are in the mood for something lighthearted or if you like movies with good messages. I think this is a movie that everyone should see, no matter what religion you are.
