The principles behind the message can work in most situations whether or not you are a Christian. But if a message of being good, kind, and loving doesn't frighten you, I highly recommend this movie.At times I saw myself on the screen, as most of us can relate to some level of tension in marriage or any relationship. I'm sure there are plenty of movies at your theater that push loose morals, profanity, and obscenity that you can choose if this is not your cup of tea. If you find occasional conversations about God, Jesus, or spiritual matters offensive, then be warned, you may be offended on occasion. It is presented, laid out before the audience, and is there for you to take it or leave it. Even without top-line actors, the scenes are a testimony to a tragedy in our midst, happening right now in your city and mine, yet unseen.There are heroes in this movie, and this film will satisfyingly define the difference between their heroism and running with over-weighted spur-of-the-moment feelings from one fire to the next. My throat is pretty sore right now from stifling it. Another couple, my wife, and I watched the movie this afternoon, and after checking the score and reading the comments on IMDb, I must wonder: how can someone see this who has any experience with real life, and not be moved? I personally writhed with tears in my seat most of the time, trying to choke back my reaction so as to not disturb the audience. If you have experiences in life that you thought were totally serious at the time, but you look back in laughter, you know what I mean. Characters brazenly act out in ways that, from our vantage point, make us cringe déjà vu, perhaps? there is no quick, easy resolution, and reaching the final disposition wrings more from the characters and the audience! than would be expected from, say, the Hollywood quick-fix relationship movies we are accustomed to.The story paces well, with characters that avoid the stick-figure caricatures we can expect with most H*wood fare, A wonderful balance of humor lightens the movie, and even some of the intense moments are funny as well.
