Father Stu did impact many people for the better, not sure he deserved an entire movie based on his life, but there ya go.

I think the reviews on imdb are made by people praising the story over the acting in a subconscious fear of belittling a story of redemption.

Just my $20...(cost of movie and popcorn and soda)
