I must say I really enjoyed the film. I also identified with it alot. Being raised Roman Catholic and going to catholic grade school, and being force fed the "just-believe" mentality in my formative years by really old nuns and a cigar chain-smoking priest.
I have always felt that there is no one correct religion, just faith interpretted by different cultures around the world.
But as for my thoughts on the movie....
SPOILERS BELOW.....
KEEP GOING.........
I LOVED THIS FILM!! The plot was great, and Mewes really shined in this film!!
The only problem I had was somewhat with the flow and maybe too much editing was done.
I think the Fat Albert part would have added something to the film to connect J&SB to the gang. It just fealt like something was missing.
Another section that was cut was some of the ending hospital stuff. Basically SB just dissapears for a while, even though he goes with Bethany to the hospital. Where was he when she was with Bud Cort?
These two parts I fealt sort of messed with the flow of the film. But other than that, it was a great film and I had a blast being back in NJ.
