The film deals with issues of losing oneself but also redemption. It incorporates gospel music and themes of faith to help the characters through tough times. The actors effectively portray their one-dimensional characters. Overall, the film inspires emotions and shows that though April is "bad all by herself", she needs the hope and guidance of friends and family to find herself and be good.
