This is just one in a long line of terrible Christian films set in a version of our world that only exists in the filmmakers' minds, a fantasy world where Christians get to pretend that they're the victims of persecution and not the source of much of it. Last Ounce of Courage heaps on the victim complex nonsense in extra large helpings, portraying bringing a bible to school, putting up Christmas lights, and holding a Christmas pageant as criminal actions that bring down the wrath of the "evil" ACLU (in reality, the ACLU would defend every one of those actions). Throw in a diabetes-inducing level of good old fashioned 'Murican wholesomeness (going so far as insulting our soldiers by implying their sole purpose is to defend Christmas) to hook in their overly jingoistic target audience, and you've got a mind-boggling display of just how disconnected from reality many Christians are...

Plot summary
This heartwarming movie tells the story of a local war hero whose son Tom goes off to war. While he's away earning medals for valor, his wife gives birth to their son Christian. However, the tragedy that ensues on a cruel battlefield will change everyone's life forever: Tom Revere is laid to rest, paying the ultimate price for freedom. Fourteen years later, Christian and his mother Kari return to the small town of Mount Columbus, nestled in the Rocky Mountains, to celebrate the holidays with family. At first, Bob and Christian are not connecting as they struggle with the pain of losing Tom, but in this beautiful story of love and forgiveness, grandfather and grandson discover a way to unite and to make a difference in their community by claiming their freedom of expression. Bob, who is both a pharmacist and the mayor of Mount Columbus, realizes that some of the freedoms his son fought and died for are eroding. The first battle he chooses to fight in his mission to restore the town's freedoms is the right to celebrate Christmas. In many ways Bob loses his "battle," but his gain is of greater value. Concluding the film is one of the most dramatic orations given in any movie, where Bob challenges the town to "Wake Up" and take back the freedoms that are being lost, one by one.

Delusional "Christian persecution" fantasy...
Persecution Complex: The Motion Picture
Last Ounce of Courage is a film that would be great for those who want to feel persecuted but are really not. Its a film that is about the "War on Christmas". Where is this war? Christmas is a big deal every year. Christmas decorations are everywhere to be seen. Christmas items fill the stores. Christmas parades happen ever year. There is no lack of Christmas in America. But this film tries to say there is. Its crazy. Its all a lie. But with a persecution complex film anything is possible.
The film is about Bob Revere (really?). Bob is a very unlikable protagonist who has no personality. Hes a pharmacist and Mayor (really?) and he is upset because Christmas traditions are becoming extinct. Bob wants to put Christmas back in his town in a big way. Plus his teenage grandson and his new friends hatch a plan to destroy their school play. Its all one big silly mess of a film that is way too stupid to take seriously. Its only a good film to poke fun at if anything.
Facepalm
How anyone rated this more than 1 is beyond me. Hamfisted Christian persecution complex propaganda.
They would have had to make a strong effort to make it worse.
Seriously? Anyone who gave this a 2 or more, have you seen a movie before?
Embarrassing for Christians, infuriating for the sane.
I'd rather have a sulfuric acid enema than watch this again.
I'd rather watch a soccer match than watch this again.
I'd rather have my appendage slammed between two biology textbooks than watch this again.
