It has an interesting dynamic of a search that many go through about what is life (and death) and what are we doing here? I'm not sure it matters whether you are a person of faith or not as it deals with issues in a forthright, humanistic way.
Greg Kinnear (Little Miss Sunshine) gives a good, wide-ranging performance and is partnered with Kelly Reilly (Sherlock Holmes - the Robert Downey Jr versions), whom I am starting to appreciate. Margo Martindale (Secretariat) does well and Thomas Haden Church (We Bought a Zoo) plays his typical role. Newcomers Connor Corum and Lane Styles do well and are not too 'syrupy'.
And there are beautiful vistas of the Manitoba prairies, where it was shot, which is a bonus.
