Sometimes, there are valid reasons why the critics hate a movie when the public wildly disagrees.  But more often than not, it is because the movie is overtly hopeful, redemptive, and paints Christianity in a positive light.  That certainly was the case with this film.  A rare find of a film that takes on more challenging issues like homelessness, racism, and cancer, while still being family friendly (at least for your older kids).  This one will and should provoke some good conversation in the family.  We somehow missed it when it was first released, but it made for great family watching.
