A Week Away
b'
Admittedly this sweet, saccharine and, yes, very God heavy Netflix musical starring \\xa0Kevin Quinn and Bailee Madison is a bit of a departure for us.\\xa0
For faith-based audiences, this is a slice of G-rated entertainment that is doing exactly what it sets out to do. For non-religious audiences, however, this is pretty derivative of other properties like Camp Rock and feels out of touch (could it have been made in the 80s/90s/00s? Yes).
It\'s not long before we dig into the uncomfortable politics surrounding the lead character\'s criminal backstory and how Jahbril Cook\'s George and his mother (Sherri Shepherd) act as Black saviours for the white lead.\\xa0
It just wouldn\'t be HKHS if we didn\'t, right?!
