I agree, although certainly manipulative, I felt it to be a very heart-warming film and very enjoyable. And I am an extreme cynic and I enjoyed it.

I so agree. I went and saw it this afternoon and really didn't expect to like it. But I was so moved and liked it so much in so many ways that I went and saw it again tonite. And plan to see it again. It's really just an amazing experience.

Sounds really sweet, actually... well done.

The only bad reviews come from religious haters who hate life in general. It's ALWAYS good to ignore those bitter and frustrated fools.

We must realize that they are lost. Have not ever experienced the relationship of amazing love of Jesus Christ. We must treat them with gentleness and respect. The disappointments of life in this cruel and broken world, can very well make them bitter. Only through the love of Jesus Christ can they be healed. May peace be with you.

Agreed. A great little Sleeper. Peace.

Yes it was wasn't it? I was surprised in how well it was done. Are you Christian?

With all the conversations I have with people, I try to get them to focus on a relationship with the only personable God, Jesus Christ. Not religion, buzz words, etc. It's about God, not labels. If you seek Him with all your heart and mind, You will find Him. He says so. He has never lied.

totally agreed. everyone should see this one. bad reviewers are faithless people mostly i believe so they r not objective. just see the movie and u'll know

Um, NO, it isn't truly amazing. You might find the fantasy subjects dealt with to be personally inspiring to you. You want to believe all this could happen but it can't. It's a religious fantasy. So you find it truly amazing like people found Star Wars truly amazing. The difference is Star Wars really was pretty much amazing. This really isn't. Some of those bad reviews may be pointing out that it isn't much of a comedy in any sense of the word, although it's billed as a comedy drama. I don't need to go on. This isn't an amazing movie, the bad reviews are there for a reason.
