Review of I Can Only Imagine (2018) by Steven H — 01 Apr 2018

NOT "HOLLYWOOD" ENOUGH FOR PROFESSIONAL CRITICS, ALL THE BETTER FOR YOU!

The reviews by professional movie critics often miss the real value of a movie - it's message or content. I watched this movie and thought how many reviews I read about it said it was a mediocre to poor effort of a movie. Graded "C" or worse..I think the reviews were mediocre to poor efforts at "getting it". It's about the story, a real story. It's not Survivor on TV, it's a survivor in the real world. Dreams that were almost crushed, second chances for many. A gift denied, then embraced, and then battered by the disillusioned around him. THE STORY is all that much more interesting because it's real. There are good guys and bad guys, heroes and belief, in the movie and real life. The music is great (of course). The acting is more realistic than most movies you've seen. If you like positive, uplifting movies that leave you smiling and happy when you leave the theater then maybe you should imagine yourself in the theater watching this movie!
