FACING THE GIANTS --- IS TOO EVAMGELISTIC

PG ---- Parental guidance suggested; some material may not be suitable for children(swearing, violence, nudity etc.) BUT what else can make the movie to be rated PG?
Well...“Facing the Giants” is too evangelistic, that's why the movie is not suitable for children.
*I don't know if I should cry or laugh*

The Christian moviemakers behind a low-budget film called “Facing the Giants” were stunned when the MPAA pinned a PG rating on their gentle movie about a burned-out, depressed football coach whose life _ on and off the field _ takes a miraculous turn for the better. “What the MPAA said is that the movie contained strong ‘thematic elements’ that might disturb some parents,” said Kris Fuhr, vice president for marketing at Provident Films, which is owned by Sony Pictures. Provident plans to open the film next fall in 380 theaters nationwide with the help of Samuel Goldwyn Films, which has worked with Indie movies like “The Squid and the Whale.” Which “thematic elements” earned this squeaky-clean movie its PG? “Facing the Giants” is too evangelistic.

I'm going to go and see the movie :) I didn't waste my money for the "Da Vinci Code", but I'll be glad to support “Facing the Giants” even if I'm not a fan of football ;)
