This is a great movie about what can happen when people start trusting in and showing respect for each other. We're not perfect, but as long as we try our best..
I enjoy watching faith-based movies and how they come together. In this case, I get the title.
So this kid "steals" this car...but he doesn't.
Plot Contrivance: A way to move the plot forward without having to use reason or sense. An example could be a co-incidence, lazy writing or a deus ex machina.
This movie will become a new Christian favorite, with excellent acting, good direction, excellent cinematography. The main characters are a couple of Christian film favorites: Karen Abercrombie and TC Stallings, from The War Room.
God's Compass is basically a story about a woman who decides to take custody of a troubled juvenile to save him from jail and help him in the right direction. That's the only connection to the title I can think of.
I'm all about plot and story and this film had the potential of being a hit in these areas with all that is introduced into the movie, but unfortunately most of this potential is just never realized. For example, I'm still not sure what the star's retirement from a school had to do with anything, but it would have been nice if that was developed more.
