Ultra-low budget Christian flick about the difficulties and healing in marriage, plus the (typical of Christian movies) beat-you-over-the-head gospel message. From the perspective of a typical movie, it is quite bad - the acting, starring the always predictable Growing-Pains-turned-churchy-boy-bad-actor Kirk Cameron, is painful (Kirk is the best actor here, if that tells you anything). And the script really is heavy handed. However, looking at the movie on message and emotion alone, it has redeeming qualities. If they could've found a way to be a little less overt and plodding, the message really is quite good, and it does very much pull at your heartstrings. It took me by surprise when I teared up. Worth seeing, but keep those expectations low.
