Brian Costello Common Sense Media Predictable faith-based movie is heavy-handed and trite. Rated: 1/5 Jun 8, 2016 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat I felt affection for the film growing as I watched. It pulled me in with its warmth and its performances. Rated: 3/4 Sep 8, 2010 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) A mash-up of 'It's a Wonderful Life' and the story of Saul's encounter with the heavenly light of Jesus on the road to Damascus, except in this case replace Saul with Kevin 'Hercules' Sorbo and the heavenly light of Jesus with John Ratzenberger. Rated: 2/4 Sep 3, 2010 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed A much more faith based remake of Brett Ratner's "The Family Man." Sep 2, 2010 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru An enchanting, provocative, bighearted story that will inspire you to cherish the priceless values of family, faith, love and compassion. Rated: 8.19/10 Aug 21, 2010 Full Review Annie Young Frisbie Christianity Today Ultimately, What If . . . fails before it hits the 10-minute mark.

Think “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/20 Full Review Audience Member Sorbo’s best movie. “It’s A Wonderful Life” except the angel is named Mike. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/20 Full Review Audience Member This movie was the perfect blend of romance, moral retribution, and serendipity as the cast kills it in this Christian re-telling of "It's a Wonderful Life."
