A real surprise! The story starts a little questionable but zooms to heights I didn't think it could meet.

Rating: 8/10 (15 February 2002)

As a fan of Christian themed and clean movies I was looking forward to this movie then found out more about Mandy Moore. I was thinking it would have a "fair" story but doubted the depth of the story, the depth of the characters faith in the movie, and if Mandy Moore had been selected for her acting skills or for her teen female popularity. I hate spoilers so I won't even hint at the story line but suffice it to say the story takes twists and turns that leave you with no memory of the first 10 minutes. The characters develop into people you can relate to, cheer for, cry with, and believe they are real. From a 30 something male, this is a movie to see.
