Title: Read the book
Review: This movie is one I would be embarrassed to see with Catholic friends and would avoid seeing absolutely with non-Catholics; it is one of the worst acted films I have ever had the misfortune to watch. Honestly, I've seen high school plays with better acting and dialog than this. At every turn, it is cloying and revoltingly sentimental, what the French call 'mièvre.' It is something you might expect to find in a down scale religious bookstore, right there beside the silly luminous statuettes of our Lady of Lourdes and plastic St. Christopher car ornaments.I am an orthodox Catholic who loves the Church and I simply hate to find products like this that imply believers are simpleminded philistines. How anyone in the Vatican could recommend something so poorly done escapes me unless the person in question was a secret Mason interested only in undermining the Church's credibility.
