Okay, now that I've got some time, I can try and give a short review of my opinion of The Second Chance. After getting past the distraction of MWS acting(which wasn't completely awful, just odd seeing him on the screen), I then had to try and stomach the fact that the "whitey" church they portrayed is sadly more common than I want to believe. So, I think it did a good job of representing how evangelical christians tend to throw money at a problem in the inner cities, making themselves "feel-good" because they've just helped the needy. I don't claim to know what the best way is to help in that area... but I know that it's more than just throwing money something. And, I don't know if this movie did any good to say how to do it either. Not sure where I'm going with this anymore. My general feeling was that I'm glad I saw it... it was surprisingly better than I thought... seriously... for a christian movie. It wasn't AS cheesy as ones put out by Billy Graham, etc. (no offense to the man)... and I'd probably watch this one over any of the Left Behind ones (only seen one, and not by my choice... it was enough). It could have had better character developement and a way better ending... but like I said... for me, it was worth seeing.
Hopefully this review wasn't too painful to read through my jumbled thoughts and ramblings...
