Great idea to make a relatable movie for young people in 2021 growing up in a Christian community. It is nice but really low in quality - too much cringe
I liked what they were trying to do here. Make a very modern High School Musical type of Christian film for the younger Christian generation. Something that is relatable to their experience of growing up in a Christian family/community but which is still rooted in the modern world and not too academic or preachy. Unfortunately though its intentions were good it was really poorly made. The acting and dialogue was so cringe. They spent all their time and money on the songs I think, which tbf were pretty good and catchy, but tbh I added them to my spotify playlist but haven't listened that much since either. - star_hazard - 6 February 2022
2nd part try hard to pick up the pieces
I find the first half dull as nothing stays with me and the scenes are stiff where everybody is just smiling to the brim... the second part is where I think the best part of the story is. It holds the deeper complexity they want to send out but with no roots to give foundation it just feels so shallow which is kind of sad. Wish they did a better intro to give the mains enough depth, lessen the music numbers to put in more scenes that'll actually back up the 'climax' rage because as it stands it didn't pack enough punch to deliver it. Overall it's just like your typical B musical movie focused on typical teen romance, but with less memorable songs, not something I'd rewatch tbh.
