Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
bkoganbing For those who believe that all the events of our lives is part of an infinite design Cutback will certainly provide reasons for that belief. With a cast of unknowns this is a decent Christian film.Our protagonist is Justin Schwann who has surfing and girls on his mind as a lot of California kids do. He seems somewhat aimless and that concerns his parents Greg Carlson and Raquel Gardner. It's Gardner who has the religion thing and she pushes Schwann into the church's local youth ministry.With one bad tragedy in his future, Schwann's whole life of course is changed and even said tragedy has a place in the universal scheme of things. In any event church youth group seems a proper fit for him and it works out for all concerned.Given that this is a Christian film it will have certain parameters it has to follow. Follow them Cutback does. It's a nice production, but I think in the secular world it will meet with a lot of scoffing.
mj-sizzle1 One of the best Movies I have seen yet, very inspirational and good for all ages, especially teenagers. I recommend this movie to everyone, it's great for group gatherings for movie nights, or just the family. It will challenge you to change your life and make it matter. It also sets a perspective of making sure to appreciate everyone in your life because anyone can go at any time. It tackles many big issues today too, like teen pregnancy, drugs, cutting, alcohol, suicide, and parties. These are some of the biggest factors affecting teenagers in America today and this movie tackles them all, but is not only for teenagers but also affects every age. In relapse I think it is a great movie for everyone to watch and that anyone of all ages can and should watch the movie Cutback.
tkellogg Great family movie, very touching story of teens finding their way in a difficult world. So good to see movies being made for the preteen age group that don't have to involve graphic love scenes or gory violence! I truly enjoyed watching this movie with my kids, and afterward, we had some great discussions about life choices and the consequences that can follow. We could use more movies like these, that can demonstrate the joy we feel in finding Christ in our lives and following Him. Teens face so many pressures and confusing messages in our world today, and I truly appreciate the message that "Cutback" sends--you do not have to face these pressures and choices alone, God will walk with you every step of the way!
tracy-bergeon We watched this movie and thought it was a great Christian film with a great story line. It is family friendly so we even let our 7 year old watch it the next day. It is nice to see family friendly films with material appropriate for all ages and have a strong moral backing too. A film without sex, violence, nudity or graphic material. It shows a family on the brink of splitting and a teen struggling with faith find their way back to each other and God. There of course is some moments that brought me to tears but I was also laughing at many moments. By the end of the film I was cheering on this family and the relationship between the teen boy and a girl he had met. Great film!
