***More Than Chance*** is the story of a paraplegic young girl who wants to be a ballet dancer… and that's pretty much all I'm going to say.

### **Opening Phrase**

Where each week we sample another selection from Christian cinema, because when we snap, we want to have a good excuse for it.

### **How Bad Was It?**

Well look, he's the thing, when I watched the trailer for this movie, I was excited for the chance make fun of a handicapped little girl with dreams—that's what my aims were—but unfortunately, there's very little to make fun of about *that* element of the story. Little handicapped girl has dreams? Fine, none of that's terrible; everything *else* about this movie is terrible. And if you were thinking to yourself "*How* could they make fun of a little handicapped girl? It's just *terrible*. How could you do that? She's just going to overcome her disability." Well, you wait and see how she gets puppeted (much like the marionette she physically looks like) to spout terrible evil ideas throughout the film. Here's all I'm saying: before you Tweet at me—and you’re gonna—watch this movie. Watch them just very obviously hand this little girl a script and be like "Yeah, and you're going to tell everybody that sin is sin, and we're going to have you do it, because only three people in the universe will bring it up." But you're listening to them. You're listening to them.

### **Best Worst**

* Heath: …casting. [A pyramid-scheme in a trailer park.]
* Eli: …crippling scene.
* Noah: …effort to get to ninety minutes. [Blackout between every single scene.]

### **Notes**

* The first interstitial and outtakes feature the first appearance of the Inside Out Little Girl, Gillian.
* You can say a lot of things about this movie, but contrary to what's mentioned in the review, Lolita Milena (then Kelsey Minick) apparently did play the character based on her. The film had its world premiere at the Akron Civic Theatre on 17 November 2010 in Akron, Ohio.

### **Jokes**

* [Eli: And like fucking Wilford Brimley from the diabetes commercials, she whispers "Homemade. Amish. Fudge." She—I have whispered things into the ears of my *victims* with less intensity, joy, and madness than this actress whispered the words "homemade Amish fudge."Just forward to this scene and watch this woman say "homemade Amish fudge" like it's the last lines of Saving Private Ryan. It's *fucking* amazing.]
