Title: Uplifting but Balanced
Review: I propose a counterpoint to those who say this movie has shallow "genie-God" theology. This is not a movie about bad Christians that become good so that God will bless them with only good things. It's about regular people who trust God even as life gets more difficult. God's blessing is not portrayed as a predetermined outcome to certain actions. On the contrary, one of the theme's of the movie is trusting God even when circumstances are very difficult. "If God doesn't... will you still love Him?" The answer was a tearful but confident, "Yes." Along the same lines we hear, "If we win, we praise Him. If we lose, we praise Him." Through this uplifting story, these real-life lessons shine through.
