Konterr Brilliant and touching
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
kbherman God is good all the time; all the time, God is good! Question what happens to you when you die? I believe that I want to be with God! Many of the most intelligent, scientific atheists have tried to prove Jesus did not die and was resurrected, and now they love JEsus and are believers... yay God!!!
bkoganbing The title says it all, God's Club. Join and/or support the club and God loves you. Don't think it has any place in public school than you are an enemy of the infinite Creator of Time, Space, and the Universe. Not someone you want mad at you.Allison MacInnis and her husband Stephen Baldwin are teachers at a local high school somewhere in the Bible Belt. After a contentious school board meeting where her proposed Bible Club is discussed the two leave to go home and they are broadsided by another vehicle. MacInnis dies at the scene and Baldwin after an extended period of grief agrees to carry on. Of course those meanie secular humanists like Lorenzo Lamas oppose this because they see it as just a tool for evangelizing their kids.Guess what, it sure looks like what Baldwin is doing is evangelizing the youth. Even Lamas's own son Nic Luken who is on anti-depression meds is buying into it. Of course the fact he's fallen for Baldwin's daughter Bridget Albaugh helps.My belief is that if Christian kids want to have a Bible study club after school that's their business. But somehow I doubt that this same school is sponsoring a Gay/Straight Alliance group there. Gay kids are deep in the closet in this place no doubt. I'll bet Baldwin wouldn't want a GSA in his school. Probably Lamas wouldn't want one either.It's the same fundamentalist message you see in so many of these films. We're the truth faith and we've got a duty to convert the world. You don't like it God will nail you good in the afterlife.The sad thing is so many people buy into that in real life.
wendyatlanticcanuck Absolute fictitious depiction of atheists. All of the atheists I know, are secular humanists and very caring people. Religion is for church, etc. not for school. School is for education… education of facts, not of ancient mythology, unless a student is in mythology class. A "moment of silence" is not "prayer" or even religious, in any way. The scenario fabricated in this movie has never happened and never will. Learn the law and the constitution of the US and you will understand how everything about this movie was simply wrong! The strawman depiction of atheists is beyond ridiculous! Horrible awful movie… poorly done with terrible acting (if you can call it that).
Matthew Let me start with a brief summary: Christians start something harmless and Atheists go up in arms. This is the basic foundations for the movie and it has been repeated time and time again. As an atheist, I am extremely offended by this movie and the way they represent atheists. Literally, EVERY atheist character in this movie is intolerant, hateful, and (of course) evil. This is in no way a representation of the real world, even though this movie makes it seem like its happened before. Anyways enough ranting, what about the ACTUAL movie? Well, it also fails in that regard. The characters are flat and only one character really experiences change, and she was a minor character. The atheists respond to the Christian characters with complete and utter nonsense. The story isn't really compelling, it's mostly just a misrepresentation of a possible real life scenario.This movie is one of those Christian propaganda pieces that fails to be a remotely good movie. The story is uninteresting and not compelling whatsoever, the characters are cardboard thin and predictable, and this is only topped by the unbelievable amount of bias towards Christians.
