It's a persuasive spiritual journey, sentimental at times but never hopelessly cloying.

Christians sensitive to a reductionist view of their Lord as a luv-spreading Dr. Feelgood or omnipotent slacker will feel vastly more affronted than secularists, who might even praise God for delivering such an instant camp classic.

Overall, it's a very entertaining, thought-provoking film with a simple message: God is love.
