This is so incredible. I literally just walked out of the theater after watching this great film. I cannot express to you how I am feeling after seeing this film. I don’t believe I have ever watched a better movie and I see tons of them......yes even Footloose. Please I am begging all FRiends to see this movie. It will change your life for the better. God bless all of you. See it has changed me.....lol.

Coming from the Fireproof folks I have high hopes for this film and expect it to be excellent. (I thoroughly enjoyed Flywheel and Facing the Giants from them too. Despite the lack of polish they 'worked' as good edifying and enjoyable films.)

I just wish they had better music. The Courageous song they've been playing on Christian radio stations that goes with this movie just grates.

I was just on the way to see the film, Courageous; and Yes, I saw Footloose as well--brought back memories! I am a film buff as well.

Thanks

My hat is off to this film company. They know their niche and are very successful. I’ve tried to open a dialogue with them about doing a television miniseries of “Patriot’s History of the U.S.” but nothing so far.

Great movie. Definitely worth enduring paying $11 for a bucket of popcorn and a coke.
