Mark LaPorta The dogma of religious and social politics are, in the end, mere scenery. You could put this independent ditty in any social setting where behavior and expectations are scrutinized. I think a successful 12-stepper in particular would recognize the elementary purity of the message. A pleasant surprise. Drugs and alcohol are represented, by analogy and metaphor, as symptoms rather than as root cause, of the manifestations of character defects and the interactions of personal and societal expectations. Conflict-> resolution. Crucifixion -- by self and circumstances -- resurrection and ascension; virtue as its own reward. No different than Return of the Jedi, in that sense, and a lot less noise.

KineticSeoul This didn't seem like a movie that bashed on Christians. But how sometimes people can fall for protecting their own reputations, their own pride and ego, and to prove their worth to people. Instead of genuinely moving because of love and affection for each other through Christ. C'mon nobody likes to be hovered over by someone else, especially by people they hardly know. And be judged upon constantly, even with smug and arrogant stares. This movie just seemed to show how it can cause Christians downfall if they have the wrong motives in mind and not Christ-centered. The plot is basically about a Catholic woman that is overly obsessed with her Christian reputation and winning the Catholic woman award at her church. But also having to deal with a lesbian daughter and a son that left his wife that he didn't love for someone else. This is a relatable movie since I met certain Christians that are portrayed in this movie. Especially people that fall for the logo over the symbol that should be stood up for with genuine heart and right motives without judgmental eyes. But overall it just quickly became dull and boring. Sure sometimes a rehash of real life in movie form can be entertaining but just not so much in this case. There just wasn't much emotion or attention grabbing aspect about this movie.4.5/10

heedser-675-365004 Watching the first part of this movie, I enjoyed the acting and story. As it progressed, the agenda became clearer focusing on the Kathleen Turner character as the "problem". Is it so nutty to honor our marriage vows and encourage our children to do so too? Our parents and grandparents didn't think so. I guess everybody's desires must overrun any other commitments and the rightness or wrongness of any said desires must not be questioned. The only real "freak" is the old fashioned Mom. I question that.The Catholic Church seems to be a free target now when every other group must not be slandered. I doubt most people who happen to read this would agree because when we want to see things that justify us, thats what we see and most of society likes to think it is right no matter what it does.

crmservices One of the most hate filled anti Catholic movies I have ever seen why!!!!!!! If the offensive stereotype were replaced by an ethnicity, there would be a civil war. "UGLY" best sums it up.I would love to know who funds these movies? I would love to warn them that people like me who have no concern about whom people are intimate with, are starting to have a problem with this hate filled agendas of people that produce movies like this. Large groups of people, groups, and organizations are banding together in an effort to fight homosexual legislation. For the most part they aren't Catholics, but that is quickly changing thanks to crap like this.
