3/10

The acting and production are much better than what I thought they would be; however, the story was pretty bad. The Dad's conversion comes very quickly. His co-workers desire to go to church came out of nowhere. At no time is there respect for other people's religions or lack of religion. As an Atheist I was not moved nor was my thinking changed by watching this. The only arguments here were assertions, assertions that god is real, that he loves us, etc. Doing the job for free seemed really ridiculous. If customers can't pay for work, they don't get the service...I didn't see anything wrong with what the guy did. Doing the job for free seemed like a big mistake. In the end I felt Christians came off as belligerent and not understanding of anything they don't understand. Prayer and social pressure are the only tools they use. I gave this the score I did because it fails on convincing non-believers to believe. The story was a little silly, and I didn't like the certitude that these Christians live their lives.
