How things change. Leonardo DiCaprio was once understudy to Kirk Cameron during the latter's long-running stint as the star of television's Growing Pains. When that show was pulled in 1992, it was Cameron who was picked for Hollywood stardom.
Instead, Cameron chose to retreat into the background, occasionally bobbing up in Disney Channel movies, but mainly looking after his family and, apparently, attending to his faith.
And that's what this film is all about. A low-budget 'Christian' movie that has done incredible business both in theatres and DVD sales (US$50 million return on a US$500,000 budget), its heart is in the right place, even when a few other aspects (script, acting talent) aren't so great.
