I was disappointed with this film. The acting was stilted at best, but my real beef concerns the content.
While it loosely followed the book of the same title, it was not true to the book in several ways. Most important is that it didn't once use the phrase "What would Jesus do?". The book uses this phrase as a practical way to follow in Jesus steps. The film was just a nice story without any real practical application. It changed the impetus from following in His steps to "getting religion". I believe the book's intentions were to spur Christians on to developing a closer Spiritual walk with their Savior. The film seems to miss the point.
