Review from the comment
It's complicated. I read the synopsis and wanted to see it. What the synopsis failed to mention was how churchy it would be. I knew it was churchy because of the theaters it was showing at. I also didn't care if it were. I liked it. I don't like churcy things but the subject matter was something I was interested in. I really, really liked how they handled the suicide letter. It was fantasticly done. It was far more emotional than just reading it. The acting was a little under, but it worked for me. I was pleasantly surprised. And no they did not have How to Save a Life by the Fray. I wish they did, but they never played it. I wonder why? Must have been the cost.
