Family Christian movies are not main stream. Simply stating a fact. Any movie that comes out with any religious background to it is automatically tuned out as to separate itself in the media because any religion on TV marks that station and may deter viewers. Same goes with running late night infomercials. They usually come with a warning of "The views regarding the following program are not those of the broadcast station" or some statement like that trying to detach itself. This is why the relatively unknown movie COURAGEOUS has gone under peoples movie radar. Too bad it opened to the number 3 position and beat out its opening weekend competition. COURAGEOUS is a good family movie and more of how a Father who wants to be more than just good enough looks into the Bible to find what God says about being a Father. Yes, this religious overtone is clear in the movie, but is subtle in its open statement as the
*SPOILER ALERT* (Daughter Dies)
This sends the main Father to change his ways and enlists the following of four other dads. Together, they keep each other in check when it comes to following God and doing right by their family. Given the Christian and God themes, STILL GO SEE THIS MOVIE! No other movie that I know of has hit me hard about the Father I want to be when I have a child of my own. This should be a must watch for all Dad's as it deals with Sons, Daughters, Gangs, Love, Loss, New, Old, Family, Friends, etc. without going into Christian overtones. This movie will be one you will not regret.
