The movie is well done and captures your attention, assuming you have the capacity to enjoy this type of movie. The movie is about a minister and his family, narrated by the older son. It portrays a more realistic view of the lives of a religious family in American. In contrast to how religious people are portrayed by the media, sorry I had to add that observation. I see some reviews that focus on the two rebellious sons. I was in a Pentecostal church for five years and I can say that this movie does a good job of showing how different the kids are from the parents, which are very religious. The movie does well in showing how committed the parents can be while their kids are not that committed. I saw this first hand. The parents never stop praying and focusing on their kids, they love them with all their hearts, I've seen this. Although the sons are not really rebellious but have such strong family support that they have the confidence to take their individual talents to the limits. This movie shows that strong family units make strong and talented and healthy individuals. Athough many people have problems as the younger son had with gambling.
