This is a captivating drama about a childhood’s friend’s death. The director is Jim Britts and was a Christian filmed movie. A boy named Jake Taylor, who is an all-star athlete, must change his lifestyle and sacrifice his future to save the lives of people around him. The most realistic portrayal of student life in film with Christianity was interesting. Now Jake, known as a ladies man and a great athlete, gets a jump start in his life. He had a childhood friend Roger Dawson; his friend kills himself leaving Jake quite confusion at his own life. Jake goes on a journey that is like no other journey possible. There are some happy scenes between the pastor and a few moments that are a must see for all teens. The church is portrayed in a non threatening manner in this film, which is simply brilliant. We as people tend to shy away from the church, the scenes show that individuals don’t have too.
The film is definitely tastefully done in its own right. Even though it could be obvious that Christian film making isn’t quite there yet. The potential is looking rather well for the future. The church could play a bigger role in the lives of youth and other individuals with the proper messages. The directors should be well praised for this film, one to remember for quite some time with an amazing storyline. Don’t be surprised if this film makes a huge splash when it hits the big screen, a movie that has an underlined message and is well directed is so difficult not to watch. You must believe in what you believe, that is all this film says. Jake Taylor is a character that could relate to many individuals. The cast and the setting are also well depicted.

Okay, your movie is really stereotypical and totally blown out of proportion. Everything is overly dramatized and incorrect to today’s standards. I feel like your movie is a little bit prejudice and extremely racist. One more thing, if this really happened; would the suicide been a part of god’s plan?
I thought it was awesome. I see all this stuff in high school and at parties and stuff. Suicide is a real thing in high schools all across the country and deserves attention. Everybody that I talked to said that they thought that the parties were pretty accurate, especially since the cops came at the end.
everything is a part of God’s plan. He does not make us do anything……..we have free will and that is where we mess up…NOT God!
