The main message of "Small Group" is that we should try to avoid judging people before we really make an effort to get to know them. As messages go, it really doesn't get much better than that.

Rated: 3.5/5

Matt Chastain gets it right and ends up producing a faith-based motion picture that entertains without compromise its faith along the way.

Some violence, drinking in thoughtful faith-based drama.

The Saturday Evening Post

Director Chastain...momentarily sheds the friendly confines of an off-kilter Sunday School comedy to dip his toes into a kind of street-smart cinematic realism that owes more to Rossellini's Rome, Open City than to Heaven Is for Real .

Rated: 3/5

An enjoyable faith based film from writer/director/co-star Matt Chastain. He hits just the right notes of drama combined with humor, and it should please the choir and others.

Rated: 7/10

I thought it was going to be a comedy, but it delves much deeper. This movie is honest and direct.

Although one would never know it from the RT description, this is a faith-based movie with the message that all non-believers would give their lives to Jesus if only they spent time with the right-thinking people who already have. If you agree with that message at the outset, you'll think it's a great movie. But if not, beware.

I really enjoyed it for the most part. It was well done. I take issue with them depicting yoga as normal and not conflicting with christianity. Yoga means "oneness" with Braman the Hindu god, and was created as a form of worship. Everything about it was made to honor or invoke hindu gods. That being said, unfortunely many christians nievely ebrace yoga.
