There are scenes that make the movie confusing at first, but once it gets back to present day I found it fabulous. Love the kid that plays CJ. Wonderful actor and singer. Very talented.

Schmaltzy faith-based drama isn't quite a lump of coal, but it's not a Christmas present, either.

Lyles' Movie Files

Believe might be earnest to a fault, but it's hard to totally a knock a movie so eager to please.

Rated: 6.5/10

Deseret News (Salt Lake City)

Director Billy Dickson's Christmas movie means well, but a muddled story and some flawed writing keep "Believe" from achieving its goals.

Rated: 1.5/4

Faith-based holiday drama has familiar messages, violence.

Faith-based filmmakers can still do better, but I've seen them do a whole lot worse.

Baret News

Although the picture is ostensibly aimed at the Christian demographic, it has a complicated enough storyline, including a love triangle and intriguing plot twists, to appeal to more than merely Bible-thumping Evangelicals.

Rated: 3/4
