[Excellent! / 5] —Lynn Saxe Positive—It is a great movie! I never watched Christian movies before. Why not? I just don’t know, but the movie is very good. …The end was the best part of all, but without the beginning the end was nothing…
[Average / 3½] —Matthijw, age 18 Positive—An excellent movie. Very highly recommended. Nothing offensive whatsoever aside from the fact that Derrick’s girlfriend gets pregnant, and it’s assumed that she’s spent the night at his house on several occasions but everything turns out fine. A good chance for parents to talk to kids about staying pure for marriage. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good movie.
[Excellent! / 5] —David, age 19 Positive—The first time I went to see this movie with my wife and my brother-in-law and his wife. I had to go back again with my high school daughter. This was the best Christian movie I have seen that shared the human struggles that we deal with in this generation. The characters were realistic and the real life happenings were dealt with in a passionate and honest way. The accountability that is required of us as Christians was explored and truthfully shared in a way that allows non-Christians to see that being a believer still has its own sets of struggles and situations to deal with. I highly recommend this movie.
[Excellent! / 5] —Tim Wentz, age 49 Positive—Entertainment dollars well spent. I’ll gladly pay the admission price to see it again! If you ever wanted to take a non-christian friend to a movie that can open up dialog to share your faith, this would be that film. The Climb has enough male testosterone action to keep a viewers attention, while still sharing the peace and benefits of a life dedicated to Christ. For you romantic types, this film also reflects the value of healthy relationships and touches on personal integrity, and responsibility. I highly recommend “The Climb.” See it today!
