Occasionally, I get started into a movie only to discover that it's a Christian movie intended to convert people. I find they all have one thing in common. The acting is terrible. All this time I've been thinking that it's because they figure they don't need to put too much effort into it because it's the "word of God" but today I began to wonder if it's just because that seems to be the nature of Christian people trying to spread a message. Either way, it's almost like I can spot a Christian movie right off the bat by the bad acting.
Edit: I differentiate between movies meant to convert and depictions of biblical stories. Every movie I've seen that is specifically geared toward converting people has had bad acting. Biblical depictions have usually been good quality. The movie that sparked my comments was Left Behind with Nicholas Cage. Others would include War Room, Fireproof, and Courageous. Another thing they have in common is that they usually don't make it obvious it's a Christian movie. You find out when you're watching.
