As the song that brings ultimate hope to so many … often in the midst of life’s most challenging moments. Amazingly, the song was written in mere minutes by MercyMe lead singer Bart Millard. In reality, those lyrics took a lifetime to craft.

Although he found faith at a young age, life wasn’t easy for Bart. He leaned into an active imagination and his love of music as escapes from a troubled home life. As he grew older, Bart turned to football in hopes of somehow connecting with his abusive father. But a career-ending injury—combined with the vision of a teacher who saw unlimited potential—set Bart on a musical pathway.

Chasing a dream while running from broken relationships with his father and Shannon, his childhood sweetheart, Bart hits the road in an old, decrepit tour bus with his new band MercyMe—named for his grandmother’s favorite expression. With the guidance of a grizzled music-industry insider, the band begins a journey none of them could ever have imagined.

Directed by the Erwin Brothers (October Baby, Moms' Night Out, and Woodlawn), I CAN ONLY IMAGINEstars J. Michael Finley, Madeline Carroll, Trace Adkins, Priscilla Shirer, with Cloris Leachman and Dennis Quaid.

A gripping reminder of the power of forgiveness, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE beautifully illustrates that no one is ever too far from God’s love—or from an eternal home in Heaven.

Will you watch it, @momi? If so, will you review it?

This is one of the most important songs in my life. I'll probably watch the movie once it comes to DVD.

Someone at work saw it and told me I'll need some tissue...this movie is on my list, likely this weekend.

We finally saw the movie last night - I didn't really feel like going out, but I feel like we can't complain about the lack of quality family movies if we don't support them when they do come out.

Having said that - it was a good movie. Not what I would consider stellar but it was definitely worth the $8.75.

You saw a movie at night for $8.75?

I enjoyed this movie! Dennis Quaid was note-worthy and he deftly delivered some powerful moments. It was good to see this singer's story on the big screen. Priscilla Shirer's was adorable. Good film.. I hope more people support it
