I am a Christian who eagerly awited the release of Amazing Grace and went to the theater to watch it with my best friend. She fell asleep and I ended up feeling irritated and empty. The movie itself wasn't bad but it lacked God, to be blunt. There are few movies released in theaters these days that are even suitable for Christians but what can be even more irritating is when there is so much potential to glorify the work of the Lord in so many lives, on our history and on the legacy of nations and God is mentioned often as an after-thought. It's like throwing the Christians a token by-line in order to get the backing of 'Christian', 'Family Friendly' stamps of aproval. I find it insulting and aggrevating that we have sold ourselves so short when the story had so much potential.
