Rating: 2.5/4 -- Unlike other 'faith-based' films, it lacks a down-on-your-knees come-to-Jesus moment, presenting its young hero as a conflicted Everyman with the same questions about 'the human dilemma' as any sensitive college freshman. Full Review

Rating: D+ -- A hot mess that somehow manages to somewhat redeem itself by the final frame but sadly not enough to save it from ultimate damnation. Full Review

Product Description:

A sheltered Texas college student from a strict Christian background gets a crash course in secular life after enrolling in Reed College and encountering people who question reality on a daily basis. 19 year old Don (Marshall Allman) was feeling suffocated by religion when he impulsively set his sights on the Pacific Northwest. Subsequently thrust into a world where faith takes a back seat to creativity and impulsiveness, Don struggles tirelessly to fit in while realizing that the only way to truly be sure in his beliefs is to test each and every one of them.
