I get it. Abortion is a hot topic issue and people on both sides have strong emotions where it's concerned. But for a passion project to be good it needs some good writing, good acting and above all a good lead. This movie has none of that.
There's talent on the screen. Jon Voight is a good actor. As are. Corben Bernsen and Steve Guttenberg among others. But Nick Loeb can't act. He is absolutely terrible in this movie and I mean terrible. Near the end he has a breakdown in a church for dramatic effect and... it has all the weight of a high-school production. It's pure community theater acting at it's best.
There's historical inaccuracies. There's points where people just don't speak like real people and it comes off like bad writing. And the less said about the jaunty "abortion" song the better.
But as I said, it's a passion project so a lot of these things are to be expected. It's just not a good movie unless you are rabidly anti-abortion and don't care about the poor acting, the inaccuracies or any of that and only care about the message.
