  1. The makers of this movie wanted to do a movie that high lights a prominent Me-Too case while featuring a prominent news network and a film that could reach wide audiences. But in order to make the protagonists likeable they ignore a lot of the racism (and misogyny) they constantly propagated. Is the fact that these women were racists ( or spouted racist lines) relevant to the movie? Maybe not, but it makes  the movie  more problematic among the liberal critics where politics and intersectionality maters a lot, especially nowadays.

  2. This film was always going to get backlash from left leaning critics for allegedly painting the Fox News hosts as the heroes. I saw quite a bit of complaining about it on twitter when the trailer was first released. 

     

    Its debatable how relevant that that is to quality of the film but it was inevitable.

    Problem is the GA simply does not want to go to a movie where they know they is going to try to convert them to a religion, There is simply no disgusing that.

    It will get the usual "faith " audience, but will not attract the YA audience.

     

    Mmmm I disagree. I think theatrical YA movies are essentially dead which is why teens won't go see it in theatres but A walk to Remember , which is practically the same plot, with the same faith base was very popular among teens for awhile. I could see teens watching if it gets on Netflix. Imo “I can only imagine” wasn’t actively trying to convert people it was just telling the guys life story.

    You've seen the musical? Just confirm if Legend Stephanie Beatriz's role is a good one and we're good to go.

    I’ve seen the musician  and also did the show in college. Unfortunately Carla’s role is not big lol. Probably the second smallest of main roles. But it’s still a good role! 

  5. Also it’s not like they we’re poor Linda (Jamie Lee curtis’ Character had a very successful real estate business. Walt probably had quite a bit of money from all the years as Harlan’s publisher. Jonie was the only one that was kinda broke but she was literally stealing from Harlan. Also like someone else said Harlan isn’t really portrayed as completely sane in the movie lol.

    Get this, the "real" Ramona is furious about her portrayal in the movie and claims "defamatiom of character", insisting that she was not a stripper! Illegally drugging and robbing guys for hundreds of thousands, sure, but don't dare say she took off her clothes for a living! You cannot make this up:

    The real-life Destiny is cool with the movie, though.

     

    she  didn't seem that mad in this interview. She says she hopes JLo wins awards lol.
