You like the movie waaaaay more than I do. I think it's much more of a puff piece than I guess you do.

The Warners were exec producers and it shows. Very "sanitized" view of their journey.

The leads are far too old for those parts - 40-year-old Levi as a college senior??? - and I will have nightmares for months based on the memories of the horrifying wigs they saddled poor Paquin with.

I thought "AU" was a bland "believe in your dreams" narrative. Not BAD but cliche and forgettable.

Didn't realize the directors were the same guys who made "Moms Night Out". Yeah, that was a pretty bad movie.

I do agree that they ladle on the Christian message less thick than most "faith-related" movies, and I appreciate that.
