Bait and switch

I'm pretty upset that I got this movie on Redbox. I use to grab movies from Redbox that I've never heard of and open the best. When I did this I only go on the poster image and this movie poster looks like Date Night, Bridesmaids and others. Pretty must thought it was going to be like those movies because the poster. See this movie on all the Redbox machine. One of the reason I don't use Redbox that much anymore.

The movie is slow and boring. Can see why Christians would like this because it try to be an outrageous movie with a PG rating. Its like someone that drinks diet coke and want to go all out and drink regular coke.

Yeah, it was trying to secretly ride on the coat tails of those films in a marketing sense. They have to do that because if it was known that the film was a religious oriented film upfront, then nobody nowadays would watch it and it wouldn't get any publicity except in insular communities. So they're hoping to snag people like you and me who went into it not knowing it was a Christian film. That's just the tactic of these kinds of films now.

yeah, same here. The marketing/poster were misleading. It was very disappointing.

I was misled into thinking this is a good movie based on the positive reviews and I think there are very many positive reviews because of the Christianity aspect. I get the impression that many people think that loyalty to Christianity requires defending everything Christian.
