It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

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.

This movie is a fantastic way to start or continue conversations with your kids about what it means to be an American and those things that make us Americans, those things that have made us special among all the nations of the earth. Additionally, It points out what citizenship is, and how community is built and kept. There are leadership lessons and other good life lessons. Anybody remember The Waltons or Little House, and the subtle lessons we learned about life and how to deal with the adversity that will inevitably be part of every life. Today much of what is on TV is a race to the bottom displaying the worst of humanity. In that sea of smut this is something the whole family will enjoy.

If this movie was set on an alternative universe were in the U.S. freedom didn't exist at all, it would make a far more interesting film that this.Another entry in the beautiful American Evangelical pastime of "making stuff up so we can feel persecuted." Other groups may try their hand at it every so often, but no one else has it on lock quite like them.Last Ounce Of Courage is about the son of a fallen soldier trying to reconnect with his grandfather, who is still grieving over the loss of his son. If you watched that trailer up there you can see that is not the case. The movie is actually about the mayor of a small town fighting to bring Christmas back to his town where is has been outlawed by the government...for reasons.As usual conservatives. Don't have a brain in their head. There are more churches than homes. Not a single conversation can be had without God/Jesus being given full praise. Christmas is the greatess yielding time of the year with an explosive church attendance. The only people trying to take freedoms away ARE the conservatives.You know, my big question is: what is that dumb mophead kid's motivation for even caring about anything rather than the script says so even worst his name is Christian!The Christian and conservative propaganda is painfully everywhere, sending the message that if your Christian in the united states your being oppressed by the government, it's a fact no everyone celebrates the same holidays during Christmas, it makes sense to generalize it, instead of saying marry Christmas , happy holidays is OK, the antagonist represents some group. It never says what group or organization, but it becomes very clear very fast that the group is democrats; It also says that if you believe in the separation of church and state then you are non American. The thing that really put this movie over the edge in terms of being terrible was the way they used soldiers dying in the middle east to manipulate the audiences feelings to support their message, even worst was that lame mophead kid idea of showing that tape were it shows his father dying...Way to show your respect for your fallen parent just let everyone in the podium witness your father getting killed, why not have some dignity and keep that to yourself.The only thing that makes this movie watchable is the unintentional funny humor in it

The film is not blockbuster material, but the message is.Simple stand to stop the oppression by those intolerant of you exercising your freedom of speech and religion.A look into the lives of those that did fight for you to enjoy those freedoms all our founding families bled for.A look at the ridiculous attempts of a few to squash the rights of others.An eye opener to manipulation of schools and rewriting history .America was formed on Christian beliefs, it's Constitution relies on the prosperity of Christian practices, it's welfare on Christian morals.

The movie has a strong message that someone may mistake as a promotion of a particular religion, or of Christmas. The underlying message is that of the freedom that we have in this country to say and do as we choose, as long as no one is physically hurt. It is a message that we, the free people must stand up for what this country was founded on.The support of the military and the men and women who give their lives for the protection of our nation, our people, and our children are a fine part of this film. I can't say the acting was top notch, but it was very good. This is a movie that every America loving, God fearing family should see.
