Although the cause may be noble, the end effect is decidedly less rewarding. Go to Full Review

A film stumbling again and again while marking the notes of comedy, fantasy and drama with sound clichs. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) 08/16/2017
Good for the social cause but a horror as a film. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

1/5
A film with a premise without any interest, unthinking spirituality and a staging below the very poor. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Conrad N Nov 18 Got quite a few chuckles out of this. Easy going and enjoyable. See more Calli O Aug 20 Frankly, the money spent making this film would have been better spent being given directly to the cause it purports to support. Properly invested, I would hazard to say more funds could have been raised and viewers wouldn't lose 2 hours of time. The story is poorly contrived, at best. The acting, while not the worst I've seen, is not helped nor does it help the story. Please leave the Bible to tell the stories of faith. The only inspiration this provides is that of donating directly to your charity of choice -- not supporting d-rated attempts at bolstering faith that are really just capitalist Christian circle jerks in disguise. See more Cindy W Jul 28 What's not to like about this movie? The story was a great one. More stories were being told within the first one. The film quality seemed high budget. The cast was right on. The cast was so likable and they did a great job at delivering the message in the story. The location of the movie was beautiful. I definitely recommend this movie. See more Hoi Y May 3 Was this a failed Hallmark film? Cohen was somewhat hunky at the beginning, but the film was not funny -- moreover unemotional. Kaitlyn will never be Winona Ryder. Jonathan Pryce stooped too low. See more J R Apr 27 How is Camilla Luddington getting parts in movies. She is absolutely awful. See more Paul F Apr 4 Some weird Christian movie that seems to think if lesbians just find the right man they will be cured and turn straight. Was this made in 1942? Can’t believe this type of stuff even got made See more Read all reviews
