Not Great, But Not Bad, 27 November 2004

While I can admit that this movie wouldn't appeal to many people outside the Latter-Day Saint community, I still feel it's a decent movie to watch...especially for children that are born and raised LDS. The plot can't be reduced to something simple--on the surface, it's the story of a family and some of their acquaintances before, during, and after mortal life. But the most important part, in my opinion, is the subtext--how do we really know what's the truth, or is what our parents/church have been telling us since we were small really the truth? Jimmy's struggles with that are what many people--no matter what religion--go through at some point in their life, and the movie does a good job at showing that internal battle. As I said, it's not the greatest movie in the world, but it does a good job where it counts.
