The Tony Fontane movie is fantastic

I rate this movie near excellent, because for me personally, I believe that it gave the result that those who produced it were looking for. It gave me the answers I needed to find Christ in my life, though that came at a later time. The film is filled with wonderful music talent and was based on the true story of Tony's life. This film leaves a lasting impression on those who watch it, both Christians and non Christians. It also makes you want to sit and watch it all over again. The only reason I did not rate it a 10, though for me, I would like to, is because in some places the acting isn't the very best. But the people of the real story are acting out their own lives, and that makes it even more believable and touching.
