Review of Blue Like Jazz (2012) by Jonathan G — 25 Mar 2012

Admittingly, I haven't read the book that the movie is (loosely) based on, but I did really enjoy the pre-screening of the movie with Donald Miller and Steve Taylor (director) there to introduce us.

I also have to admit that I gave it an extra half star rating because I think it's worth watching. I would recommend it for all of my 'normal' friends. My Christian friends, however, may be offended or confused by the message it's sending.

I hope not, but I'd never consider this a Christian movie. Although it's rated PG-13, I honestly wouldn't recommend it for anyone under the age of 16 either. Not a family movie. People of all walks and faiths should definitely watch it though.

I think it'll open up a lot of conversations that need to have been had.
