Christian Evangelical film[edit]

What makes this a "Christian Evangelical film"? Obviously I understand that Steve Taylor is a Christian as are some of the actors, however I'm not sure I see a good reason to label it as such. The motive for the film is not to evangelize, nor is it targeted specifically to Christian audiences (I think these are obvious from the film itself, but has been stated in the extras on the DVD too). It just happens to be a story revolving around the church. Thoughts? – gRegor (talk • contribs) 22:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd agree with the take above. It's a movie based around a few churches but the themes tend to be universal. The irony is that a lot of "card-carrying" Evangelicals I know were not comfortable or happy with the movie. Bob K 07:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I took it off of that category. It's not an evengelical film. Taylor insisted it wasn't on an interview with Chrisianity today, found here: http://www.christianitytoday.com/music/interviews/2005/stevetaylor-0305.html IronCrow 04:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it considered a Christian movie? I don't know...maybe because it stars one of the most high profile Contemporary Christian Singers in the last 20 years who is ONLY known for doing Christian stuff and produced by a guy who's been in Christian ministry since the 80's and, oh, because it's about life in the church and oh yeah, there's a cross on the video cover. If it wasn't for that, I'd have thought it was just another Porky's knock off.

As an aside, I'm a 'card-carrying evangelical' (and believe me, we are issued such lovely cards), yet I could care less how rough this movie is. Steve Taylor is the CLASSIC PK. My guess is that he was so scarred growing up in the church, he's dedicated his entire adult life to passively-agressively attacking it.

Ps Oh yeah, the black lead in the movie is a Christian minister too. Shocked.71.238.68.127 (talk) 13:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other Actors[edit]

For Jeff Obafemi Carr I'd like to see more about his acting career. He did a pretty good job. The actor who played the Sr. pastor (dad) said it was his 137th film (in Special Features). Kristinwt (talk) 16:54, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
