“Religious-based movie about a preacheru0026#39;s daughter who goes down the wrong path and ends up leaving home, her small town, and the church all together–only to return four years later after she gets into trouble down in Houston.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e————–u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think the movie started off good enough for a B-rated, made-for-TV movie. If you never read the synopsis, you literally have no clue where the plot is going–until you do. Without giving away too much, I say this because there is a point about only 1/4 through the movie that an innocent enough scenario unfolds that turns out, isnu0026#39;t all that innocent. This plot element will be the driving force for the remainder of the movie. Thing is, most viewers, even ones not so bright, will immediately see it. Once that happens, it sucks the life right out of a movie that is already paper thin on plot substance. Even if you donu0026#39;t pick up on this right away, the movie still drags on quite a bit until the end with no real payoff. It doesnu0026#39;t help that the audio and picture quality are awful even for a B-rated movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI guess about the only thing the movie has going for it is the very likable characters in the preacheru0026#39;s daughter, the preacher himself, and a young troubled teenage girl that the preacheru0026#39;s daughter befriends.”
