When an injury ends his amateur boxing career, Stuart Long moves to Los Angeles to find money and fame. While scraping by as a supermarket clerk, he meets Carmen, a Sunday school teacher who seems immune to his bad-boy charm. Determined to win her over, the longtime agnostic starts going to church to impress her. However, a motorcycle accident leaves him wondering if he can use his second chance to help others, leading to the surprising realization that he's meant to be a Catholic priest.
This was a surprisingly good watch. Probably one of Mark Wahlberg's better overall performances. Is it sometimes too heart string pulling? Yes. Is it beyond the realm of predictable? Yes. But even for someone who has very questionable levels of faith, this was a good watch and made you care about the character's and the side characters' journeys.
I would sort of recommend people checking this out. It's not a must see by any means but it was a better than average watch.
