I read the book a long time ago and didn't think much of it. I've progressed a lot since then and stumbled upon the movie a few weeks ago. Coincidentally, unbeknownst to me, a few people I know who follow a similar spiritual path viewed it that evening as well. The acting was okay (not great), but the message and tone was fantastic. They hit each of the points dead-on, but much like The Secret, the medium didn't provide much room for the necessary elaboration. As a result, while I was able to understand each point clearly, the cinematic "to illustrate principle x, actor does y" was lacking. At the end though, I felt uplifted and inspired to explore it furthur.
