Faith-based movies follow a pattern - they're well meant, with straightforward production values and a generally sentimental tone. The film has a good cast and is competently made in a plain-vanilla way, but its greatest appeal will be to those who share its endorsement of traditional religious values. The boy tests the notion that belief can move mountains, and the film has a bit of fun with the idea - he seems to have powers, but almost always there's the teasing possibility of a natural explanation.
