Movie Review: "The Home Coming"

Synopsis: Jordan, aka Jordy, seems to find trouble everywhere he goes.  Upon starting at a new high school after getting kicked out of his old one, he makes friends with Wally, a handicapped kid who is also a Christian.  When the competition between Morris High and the rival school gets out of hand, Jordy decides to fight fire with fire, which only makes things worse.  After his actions lead to Wally getting attacked, Jordy is going to be in big trouble again; will he learn the error of his ways?
From Billy Graham's World Wide Pictures.

The Good: At least this movie is only sixty-three minutes long; that's about the only good thing I can say about it.

The Bad: Where to begin? Most of the scenes feature high schoolers fighting with or bullying each other, which isn't pretty to watch.  The scenes with the Billy Graham crusade and Jordy's eventual conversion feel tacked on, as if someone flipped the channel from Bravo to INSP.  Most of the characters were rather dislikable.  This is the biggest mess of a Christian movie I've seen in a while.

Conclusion: As a fan of Christian cinema, I usually enjoy the productions from World Wide Pictures, which was sponsored by the late evangelist Billy Graham.  The first one I watched, The Climb, had a great plot and an inspirational story, even if the subject matter--rock climbing--didn't interest me that much.  All of the ones I've seen since have been at least decent...until I sat through this dreck.  I had high hopes for this one; it comes from the '90's, when many of my old favorites were made, and the jackets the kids wore look like the ones from my high school.  Unfortunately, it ended up being garbage...which is just sad.

Score: 1/5
