Best movie of this year hands down!

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is a terrible movie, don't try to watch it! The IMDb's rating is because most of the critics are religious people... nothing against religions, but the plot is flat and predictable... the characters are poor, the actors are worse. The story is about an idiot that changes to good while becoming a Christian... in real life you don't need to do that, you just need to think a little bit... or go to therapy!You may see lots of critics saying this is a good film for teens and parents... FALSE! They are just trying to convert you! I recommend you to seat and talk to your children for a while instead of wasting 120 valuable minutes of your and their time with this title.

If you ever have to define the meaning of "cheesy" refer to this movie. It isn't necessarily that bad, it is just overdone. It is a bit too much of everything. Too many problems, too much good behavior, too much sincerity, too much caring for one another, too much "hi it's so great to have you here", too many good intentions. to much working to a good future.For one thing, for a Christian movie it was not bad at all. In some Christian movies, Jesus is pushed down your throat every five minutes, and then again and again and again. This movies is how Christ can help you if you want to accept it. Very much like Fireproof and Flywheel.It is not Christianity that makes this movie over the top. It is the movie itself which is just overdone in every aspect. Don't expect a great movie. Do expect some interesting views into American high school life and how Christians try to conquer people's souls.

***SPOILERS*** OK first and foremost sitting through this movie was the most tedious experience of my life. After the main character Alex's childhood friend commits suicide Alex starts questioning his life decisions, and who he wants to be, whatever I get that, but the way it is done is so cloche that it loses the movies credibility. I mean Alex has to be one of the most unbelievable characters in a movie since mickey Rourke in well any movie. And i don't mean that in a good way like his character consistently drove me away from this film. Finale, what really got me agitated is that i had to watch this movie in school. Can they not see it is a Christian movie, it is not completely in your face but sets the foundation for every scene. The only reason this movie got a 3 and not a 1 is because it is not Titanic: The Legend Goes On.

This is a awesome movie for any age. The story is very good and something we should all remember not to do. In the movie you will realize that if you let people join your group and be nice, it can save a lot. In the movie there is Jake's friend Roger who killed himself because he felt like no one was there with him. Jake feels that this could have been prevented if he hadn't of ditched Roger for a girl in fresh-man year. After the death of Roger, Jake decided something must be done about teen suicidal. Another guy at his school is being bullied and doesn't seem to be happy. Jake says that he needs to do something. The guy was thrilled to have Jake Taylor a senior basketball star that sits with all the cool kids come and see if he wants to sit with him. Those two started to hang out and get to know each other. Jake asked him if he ever wanted to kill himself. He said no. Jake and this girl Amy start having an affair with each other and being each others dates to the parties. Jake gets Amy pregnant and they both decide to give the baby away for adoption but they will not get an abortion. Later on, after the baby is born Jake moves and when he is about to leave the guy came over and gave him a note. It read: Dear Jake, when you asked me if i ever wanted to kill myself, i said no but until you came along i was thinking about it. You saved my life. Thank you. It was a sad but amazing movie and it shows that if you care for someone stuff will change.
