GIRL IN PROGRESS tells the story of Grace (Eva Mendes), a single mom who is too busy juggling work, bills and the very married Dr. Hartford (Matthew Modine), to give her daughter, Ansiedad the attention she desperately needs.
When Ansiedad’s English teacher, Ms. Armstrong (Patricia Arquette), introduces her students to classic coming-of-age stories, Ansiedad is inspired to skip adolescence and jump-start her life without mom. While Grace becomes preoccupied with the increasing affections of her co-worker, Ansiedad enlists the help of her loyal friend,Tavita to plot her shortcut to “adulthood.” But as her misguided plan unravels, Ansiedad and Grace must learn that sometimes growing-up means acting your age.

We are not sure this is really a Christian film as we have not seen this and are just going by the reviews we’ve read so far.

I’m wondering how this qualifies as a Christian movie.
We just added information to the main synopsis section to try and explain why this film was listed on CFDb.
Thanks Annelie!
