No real spoilers... yet.

Formulaic? Yes.
Bad acting? Yes.
Preachy? Yes.

And yet... once they got his wife to shut up, it got better. Still, I'm disappointed. The acting was bad enough where I almost got up and left at the start - and I was with my church.

Gah. Why do these touted "Christian Movies" have to be so bad?

When you make a movie without professional actors,I think you can expect that it will probably have some bad acting. Come to think of it, making a movie WITH professional actors doesn't guarantee the movie won't have bad actors either.

Haven't seen it yet, but I might.

What is "Facing the Giants?" I've never heard of it. Is it a movie, or a TV show?

If you want to see a truly horrid Christian movie, I recommend Time Chasers. Holy cow. Or...wait, is it Time Splitters? I can't remember. I think my brain is trying to wipe it out my memory altogether.

Do you want a sincere answer to this?

I think it's for two or three reasons. OSC's actually addressed this issue in one of his columns regarding the sad state of Mormon artistic endeavor, and I agree with the broad strokes of his argument.
