I am not the target audience for this, but I think it does what it needs to do for the audience it's serving.

Even if you go into “I Can Only Imagine 2” feeling immersed in the Bart Millard saga, the new movie is a bit of an odd duck, like a faith-based drama on tranquilizers, because it keeps tossing out conflicts that aren’t all that major (or convincing).

It’s no overstatement to say that Tim, a mildly enigmatic man of devotion and gratitude, becomes the catalyst for the father and son. And Ventimiglia becomes the sequel’s saving grace.

May not be a "must-see", however, it’s not a waste of time. If you were a fan of the first film, you will surely appreciate this one and its heartfelt message about overcoming your inner demons and being thankful for every day.

With an overly long runtime of two hours, it failed to hold my interest despite its good intentions and moral, but it should appeal to a religious-oriented audience.

Very heartfelt and touching movie about gratitude through the worst times, life on the road with a father and son in a Christian band, strained relationships, love, and finding your voice after youve lost it.
