This movie was absolutely fabulous. As a confirmed Christian, it answered questions that even I had deep down somewhere. It was very honest in that the main character was not feeling what "the stranger" was saying at all and he answered her questions very openly. A lot of times Christians are perceived as perfect and don't really open themselves to scrutiny, but this movie allowed just that. Perfect to show to someone, or watch yourself, that is struggling with their belief. The female lead was a bit unconvincing at times, but the male actor more than made up for it. I was amazed that a movie with such simple scenery and props could have such a great dialogue and storyline. I actually felt better when it was over.

This was the first time in as long as I can remember where the lead characters, though African-American and male, were not tragedies. No drugs, alcohol problems. Each man had a job, neigh a career. It really reminded me of my friends. I know someone that represents each of those characters. Not too long out of college and working our way towards "making it." It really sent the message that African-Americans are able to achieve without a rap video and we certainly don't all sell drugs. It was not a typical "black" movie. It was just a movie about a group of friends, irrespective of the color of their skin. We have brains and know how to use them. This is a more accurate representation of us anyway since what the media shows is a very small percentage. Great job, Spike!
