Great nostalgia for the 80s Christian rock / church youth group scene and a some kicking tunes aren't enough to make up for a meandering script. It feels like a missed opportunity - the ingredients are there, I just wish they'd spent more time on the story. The film doesn't flinch from talking about Christianity, but it isn't necessarily judgmental, just matter of fact. The moral of the movie is a little head-scratching - is the author basically saying that Jesus is famous enough already, and people aren't needed to tell others about him, but rather we should just enjoy each others company? I enjoyed parts of the film, but I mostly wished the script could live up to the music and the premise.
