In reply to Bob. I have to agree with you. I think there were several things in the movie that was over the top. She was one of them, and that ark was another. I will never get over it. There is no way it should have floated or been transportable. Thank you for your insight into the Marines. I never knew that.

I liked the movie a lot but the story lost me a little when Barta Heiner told the story of being a nurse in the marines.
To my knowledge the Marines do not have nurses or medics.They are joined by U.S. Navy corpsman embeded in their platoons in peace time as well as wars.
The story she told would have been awesome if it kept to factually correct information. The Army nurses in Vietnam are an amazing group of women who were all volunteers. They have no need of marine bravado to hold their place of distinction in the history of honorable woman. The same can be said of the amazing medical services provided to the the Marines by U.S. Navy.

In reply to Rachel Wagner. I totally agree! I like Christian movies, but a lot of them are preachy.

I saw it last week and really enjoyed it. Some of the humor was a little over the top but its all in fun. I really liked the performances of the two lead girls and most importantly that it was a story about characters that felt real not a sermon, which many of these religious films can veer into.

What a fun review! I have really been wanting to see this movie but have had company in town that has prevented me. I’ve heard really good things. It’s funny because Girls Camp was a disaster for me with rain and bugs and mud. One year we had to get evacuated because the creek was overflowing! I think most people actually have fun at Girls Camp. I like that this film is from a mixed faith family perspective which is kind of unique in these Mormon films. It’s also good to hear that time was spent on the cinematography and music. It just looks like a quality film but also with some laughs. I will definitely check it out. Maybe even this week. Thanks!
