Stones can be thrown from both sides of this debate. When “Facing the Giants” came out, immediately there were two camps. Those who praised them film as Believers, and those who condemned it saying it has actually hurt the many Believers who are working in Hollywood
I saw the film, it’s for Believers and that’s OK. Some had a problem that it was somewhat cheesy and the guy just prayed and got all of the things he prayed about. And?... I still don’t understand the problem. That film showed all the things we, as Believers, say we want in a film and it still did not please everyone. I admit, it was cheesy at points, and the acting was all right, but man what an attempt, those guys did a really good job! And who can argue that God did not bless the film? I believe it was the highest grossing indie film of that year, and I still hear Christians saying it was a failure. Really? Their next film was even better, and now their next is looking to be better once again.
