I agree, there was too much religion. The basis for the story was great and the inspiration was there, from the caring people in her life, to finding religion. The combination helped her to find the strength to overcome difficulties and to succeed. It also inspired me. However, the amount of religion disheartend me.

I wish the US and Netflix would stop with this absolute saccharine fuelled, religiously biased, racially imbalanced crap. The premise of the film had promise with some good glimmers of humour but it was totally ruined by its overly religious theme. Filled with cliches of the reasonably wealthy white family doing what they consider is best for the poor black family and obviously the white family were the saviours as they are no doubt more closer to God than any other ethnicity. I can say this as a white guy! The only message this film sends is about self indulgence from the director.
