Tony and Elizabeth Jordan’s life looks perfect from the outside, but in reality it’s the complete opposite.

[The faith-based] audience will respond to the movie's sunny, squeaky-clean look (courtesy of cinematographer Bob M. Scott) and the fervent sincerity of the performances. Let others be warned: the sermonizing is nonstop,
