This is coming from a fan of <I>Roman Holiday</I>, which has no happy ending.

I hear you.I agree that the "will you still ...Okay. I hear you.<BR/><BR/>I agree that the "will you still love Him" message is healthy. Of course, as you noted, the other note sounded was: "If you still love the Lord when you don't get a baby (which is good), you'll get two...and a truck...and a raise...and two championships...and your house won't stink anymore...and punk teens will repent...and their dads will like you after all...and..."

Remind me, oh movie guide?<BR/><BR/>Two more things, one negative and one positive: (1) Wasn't the kid who kicked the field goal against the Giants named <I>David</I>? Ugh. (2) Dan Aykroyd did a good job as the coach. Well done.<BR/><BR/>BTW, nice "swimmers" comment. :-)<BR/><BR/>"Miss Potter" is a nice family flick, BTW.Chris Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612238067365288834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-83558937470546277412007-09-04T08:15:00.000-05:002007-09-04T08:15:00.000-05:00Gosh, what a sourpuss! I bet you'd watch "Emperor'...Gosh, what a sourpuss! I bet you'd watch "Emperor's New Groove" and say, "Oh, that's stupid! Llama's can't talk!"<BR/><BR/>:^p<BR/><BR/>Obviously I share your concerns and most of your criticisms, Chris. But it's a film for the family. They tend to have happier endings. But I agree (see the review), it's over the top.<BR/><BR/>I think the Osteen comparison is harsh. The movie <I>stresses</I> getting into the Bible. When the students convert, they confess their sins to one another, and seek forgiveness. First thing that kid does when he's saved is seek out his father, ask his forgiveness, and submit to Christ's Lordship by affirming his need to respect his father.<BR/><BR/>Plus, even sounding the notes of "If you don't get a baby, will you still love the Lord" is, I think, un-Osteenish; plus the "win or lose."<BR/><BR/>Psh! You Fundies!DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-7527937545839906572007-09-04T08:00:00.000-05:002007-09-04T08:00:00.000-05:00You know, Dan, I've had many very conservative Chr...You know, Dan, I've had many very conservative Christian friends say how much they like this movie. To be honest, I don't get it. It had tender moments, and the coach was particularly believable. But at the end, I thought I'd find out that it was written by Joel Osteen. "Happy, happy, happy." I also rolled my eyes a bit at the leaky canon thing, too.<BR/><BR/>Mercy, even <I>Remember the Titans</I> deals with real tragedy and grief---without the crippled guy getting better---and it has nothing to do with Christianity. I thought it was just sooooo Pollyanna. (Speaking of crippled guys, they didn't tie that loose end up, but I'm sure the father in a wheelchair amazingly is cured. Sequel?) The two trophies at the end? Insulting.<BR/><BR/>Call me hyper-critical. I've been called that before, shockingly.
