Highly Overrated But Still Good

Beautiful, moving film.

Absolutely the worst movie.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is an amazing movie that show how god can help you even while doing sports.

The movie was excellent in many respects and the biblical foundation solid, and I'd highly recommend it, even though I don't agree with some of the suggestive clothing of the lead actress. Remember this is a Christian film intended for young girls. The Christian program "Crosstalk" agreed calling the lead actress' dress ungodly. On that point: "We are not to be molded into the image of the world" (Rom 12:2). Godliness and holiness are inward character qualities that bear outward fruit, which can include what a person chooses to wear. Modesty thankfully still matters in many Christian circles.

A girl's Christian Academy hires a new track coach and Allee Sutton Hethcoat has her own ideas about training a cross country team to win over the long haul distance. Apparently the parents think that their daughters ought to be sprinting like Flo Jo. They want Hethcoat canned and the principal is ready to do it.The film even without the Christian auspices is a nice study of what it takes to train a track team. But as this is a Christian film of course it will have certain parameters.The theme of the film is the Bible verse Corinthians 10:31 about doing your best and giving God the glory. I'm not against that, but does it have to be done so publicly?A nice film, but restricted to church audiences.

For a sport's fan give this movie a 7/10 for trusting your coach. As a Christian, add a star for trusting God. The movie is very clean. I would not hesitate to let an eight year old watch this movie. The PG rating is nonsense. The reference to drug use (weed) is positive in context.
