Joe Leydon Variety 05/07/2021
A genially pleasant comedy-drama that is elevated by the sincerity and conviction of actors (especially Olmos) fully invested in their roles. Go to Full Review

2/5
This head-scratcher of a faith-based dramedy is filled with kind, appealing characters; it's hard not to love them, but the movie is also extremely odd, with awkward rhythms and puzzling choices. Go to Full Review

Rob M @bobmcd67 Jul 5 There was a lot of potential in this faith-based story, but the awkward storytelling inhibits the viewer from totally buying in. Ultimately, questions about loss and death get swallowed up in a light hearted tale of an old guy being told by God to win a golf tournament. The actual deaths, loss and anger at God unfold way too rapidly at the beginning of the film with barely a nod to character development. Messages from God are delivered in little scrolls delivered via computer and little animal-delivered scrolls. And suddenly we're practicing golf under the tutelage of an amiable angel, played serviceably by George Lopez. The moral, messages, and admirable characters of Walking with Herb earn it the three stars, but the awkward editing and delivery leave it somewhat unsatisfying.

Keeps you involved and interested whole movie with surprise ending. Love it. See more brian h 10/09/2023 Excellent acting by an all star cast and a heart-warming story equals a perfect evening of entertainment. A story well told. See more 11/24/2022 Heartwarming and improbably authentic movie with plenty of laughs and smiles. Not for those that might be ‘triggered’ by a message of faith in a higher power. See more 07/01/2022 It was good overall as a nice faith-based movie with a nice story & characters including George Lopez as his guardian angel. It was a pleasant movie to enjoy, but did leave some gaps in the story of how he rebuilt his faith after incidents that happened to his family members.
