They did a good job of raising issues about The Passion, especially about the "crimes" of the Jews in killing Christ. However, they then took a cheap and easy way out by making Mel Gibson run around in his underwear, asking people to spank him, and smearing feces all over the place. It was not very thoughtful at all. The only real thing said near the end was that it is what Jesus taught, not how he died, that should bring people into the religion and affirm their faith.
One good question was raised when Kyle's mom said "My son wants Jews to apologize for what they did to Christ." Another parent asked, "Well, why don't you?"
[But I guess one reason why they may not is that the fault of the Jews would hinge on facts stated in the New Testament, which is not part of the Jewish religion.]
