Young Ian Colletti borrowing quite a bit from Dustin Hoffman's Rainman turns in a marvelous performance in the title role as Jimmy.

This could have been Hoffman st the age of 12. Coletti has onr unconquerable phobia, a fear of water. When it comes time got an immersion baptism it's no go. He also has a photographic memory and recalls what he reads and hears.

The young man is put in a frightful peril because of something he overhears. but as this a Christian film there are certain parameters.

Kudos to Patrick Fabian and Kelly Carlson playing Jimmy's parents and Ted Levine as his grandfather. Most of all Ian Colletti makes this film a winner.

If these characters have seen Rainmsn there's a casino trip in Colletti's future.

I tried to get through it. The acting was pretty good, but heck, it becomes just too much of a typical Bible-belt Christian sermon. Jimmy's watchers, of course, are angels, okay, I was ready to go with that. Jimmy gets a desire to go to the front of the church at an altar call.... okay, I was willing to even go that far.

But when they started telling Jimmy he needed to be Baptised by submersion, I thought oh no, no NO! (Jimmy, who has a huge fear of water right? But somehow in the Bible-belt, even the sinless innocent Jimmy needs to be dunked for some reason to "really" be saved?) but still, I didn't turn it off.

The final nail in the coffin and where I just had to stop this religious propaganda, was the hospital scene where Jimmy's grandfather lay dying, and Jimmy gives him the complete Evangelical Christian plan of Salvation, I said ENOUGH.

I knew exactly what would be the outcomes. It was all just preaching to the choir, no thanks.

I was able to see this movie at a festival and really enjoyed this movie. While I thought all the actors were great, the lead actor who played Jimmy was amazing. I was waiting for him to break character and he never did. Some great surprises kept me guessing what was going to happen. This is another great project from director and may be his best. I enjoyed how real the action was for several of the sports scenes. Overall a wonderful film and deserves a afternoon with family or friends. A great movie for the whole family! I will own this one on DVD! If you get a chance to see this in the theater, go. You will not be disappointed.
