chow913 Cheese With Mold Is A Recipe For Disaster What happens when you mix a bad script with REALLY bad actors and photographers and editors working out of their parents' basement? You get a bad movie! Jake is a poor spoiled rich boy. Captain of the football team, wealthy family, blonde cheerleader lover, etcetera.But Jake has a religious epiphany that there's more to high school life than sex, drugs, and rock and roll, after his token black childhood friend brings a gun to school and commits suicide.The friend was crippled after he pushed Jake out of the path of speeding car. As a result he was mocked and shunned by the whole school. If he'd actually gone postal and killed some bullies along with himself this film MIGHT have been interesting.Jake feels guilty for abandoning his friend and joins a local church youth group and tries to help other shunned kids.Not only is this film predictable and boring but the quality of basic film making makes Coleman Francis look like Orson Wells.SKIP IT!!! If they show this on an airplane, walk out. If they show this at your church convert to another religion. How the hell this is averaging 6.6 stars is beyond me.

Ray P I've seen a lot of movies and this is a very good movie covering all the aspects of a tragedy. I've seen some movies that put the 'GOD' factor out there as the end all beat all way to go, but this movie has done it very tastefully and not preach the all mighty too much.There have been lots of movies out there that take tragedies and deal with the human element and not go near the religious side of things, but this movie could have cut a couple scenes on it.What I did like was how well the story dealt with how many children these days are faced with peer pressures and not know how to deal with them or have others out there to turn to. If all families could take the time to see this movie and make the effort for themselves as well as their children to be better people than they might all ready be.Life is full of challenges, but we don't have to struggle through them alone if people would keep an open mind and heart to others.

Jokers-Knight-Out I've read degrading reviews of this movie, calling it "propaganda", in relation to how it's Christian. Whoo-de-doo. I've seen Christian movies that weren't worth the budget money, let alone making. This isn't one of them. It's independently filmed by a ministry, it has heavy themes of hope, but not of religion, as one of the characters says. It shows how teens are today, argumentative, backstabbing, hard-partying, even some hypocritical religious people. But it also shows people willing to help others in spite of their faults (or, rather, because of them). You have your popular kids and your "losers" that have social awkwardness and people tricking them into humiliating situations, and shows aftermaths of the effects. A person committing suicide and shows why he did it in the first place and the aftermath effect that has on someone else to make a difference. It may be propaganda to some, but it seems like a milestone in thought-provoking Christian movie-making to people like me. Flawed, like the characters, but impacting, like its characters.

Christine_CL This is such a gripping tale of the suffering kids face these days. With suicide rates high, people need to understand what the mocking and outcasting of people does to them. I believe this is a great movie to show that even the little things we do to hurt people, can end up as a big thing that person does to hurt them self's or others. People have become hard to the pain of others. Hopefully this will awaken some softness in more people. This movie showed me I need to be more aware of the people around me, and their pain. Jeff Buckley put it a great way, he said "Sensitivity isn't being wimpy; it's about being painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom". So don't think you're being 'wimpy' for caring, You're being strong enough to show you care. This movie has left such an impression in me, and I believe it will in any one else who watches it. So please do.
