Look, if you're specifically seeking Christian content and your family is already plugged into Pure Flix, this is a safe, wholesome option that won't cause any parental panic. It's got the faith-based values, the clean content, and a message about priorities.

But let's be real: this is a 2010 faith film with a 43% critic score and a Letterboxd rating that barely cracks 2.8/5. Even audiences who love this genre found it middling. The 'It's a Wonderful Life' premise has been done better countless times, and the execution here is predictable, heavy-handed, and frankly kind of boring for modern viewers.

The movie essentially argues that choosing business success over faith and first love leads to emptiness—which is a pretty reductive take on life that might spark some eye-rolls from teens (and parents). It's not terrible, but it's the kind of movie that feels like homework disguised as entertainment.

If your family is already into Pure Flix content, sure, add it to the rotation. But if you're looking for genuinely engaging family viewing that happens to have positive messages, there are much better options out there—even within faith-based cinema.
