Here is a trailer for the newest Christian film, Courageous. It opens in theaters tomorrow.

What are your thought on this friends? I know most of us haven't seen the entire film at this point, but based on the trailer, I hate to say it, but it seems so cheesy to me. It's from the creators of Fireproof. I saw that movie and I thought it was pretty lame. Bad acting. Predictable. I expect much of the same with this movie. Am I being overly critical? Should we be more supportive of films like this so that Hollywood will be encouraged to produce similar movies? I mean at least it's clean and has a positive message, right?
Here are some issues I potentially see with the film: does it present the true gospel or a watered down moralistic version where Christ died to make us better parents? Also, do we really expect non-Christians will go see this? I don't know if it's supposed to be evangelistic or what it's purpose is really, but it seems to me that only those who are already Christians are going to have any interest in the film. Or perhaps it's just entertainment and I'm reading way too much into this? Okay, your turn...go.
