    The music was great. very uplifting and I was ready to shout down the aisle for the Lord. a good depiction of how easily we lose sight of what is important in life and thank God for his redeeming blood.

    This movie was a disappointment. The story and filming was choppy and even slightly confusing in spots. Also, the music would have been more appreciated had it not been merely a few stanzas of various songs from the listed musical artists.

    This was a great movie. I heard people talk about seeing what a church could be like, working together, and making a difference. I saw that, but also saw that it took people humbling themselves to get there. So many times our own pride and human nature get in the way, but if we "let go and let God" anything can happen. Last alter call was extremely powerful, just a great reminder that amazing things can happen at the alter and in a church when God is in control.

    My husband and I both love this film. We've let friends of our watch it and they gave 2 thumbs up. My parents are not into this type film or music and had nothing but great things to say about. The theme of salvation and redemption is awesome and the movie is one of my husband's favorites!

    I thought this movie could have been better. The message of salvation was very faint. The acting was good but it seemd a little disjointed. The music was good and I think this is the draw for this movie. Teens may or may not like this film.

    Not only did I enjoy this extremely well made movie, my 20 year old daughter watched it and loved it! This movie is well worth your time, the message is timeless & one that young adults of this generation need to hear. Because of some situations in the movie I'd recommend this for older teens and above.
