Got this movie when it first came out for watching on Sabbath afternoon with our young boys. We laughed and giggled all the way through until the serious parts, then teared over when the simple gospel message is presented. It's still one of the Sabbath movies that gets thrown in to watch.Starts simple enough - when presented with the opportunity to make some quick money that wasn't hers in the first place with a heads-up for a horse race, Amanda and her boyfriend try to make a ton of money. When that failed, Amanda decides to try to get her uncle from long ago to cough up the money she needs to pay off her boss that they stole the money from.Problem after problem occurs while trying to fulfill her uncle's one request - to go fishing at a particular lake.Chased by the boss, her boyfriend, the goon and a hunter, more bad things happen but all seems to bring Amanda closer to realizing she really does need God.The basics of the movie are very much like the old Disney style home/family movies before the magic and bad plots were entered.Good for kids, good for parents.

This movie is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I thought it might be a comedy movie and watched it. The comedy scenes in the movie look totally attached into the script, they don't form a part of the story at all. Many scenes in this movie look totally unrealistic and impossible. The storyline itself is unrealistic. While watching the movie I thought of a worst possible ending for the movie and told myself no movie will possibly have such a bad story. But then I was surprised; It had the same worst ending I thought of! I felt it was not a conventional movie just 30 minutes into the movie. Finally only I realized that it was a movie targeted for the Christian movie community. That explained everything. As told by one other comment about the movie, the Christian movie making people are way behind their secular counterparts in the quality of their work. I guess having a religious agenda for a movie really takes all the quality in story, screenplay and direction out of it.

Here I am to tell you my opinions on "Road to Redemption". Of all the Christian movies I've seen ("Left Behind", "The Climb" and "The Ride") this is the best one. No one dies and there is no tacky "flash back" that seem to ALWAYS be in Christian movies (*ahem* take note of that please "Climb" and "Ride" script writers) It was a fairly amusing movie not all drama and Billy Grahmn (sp) was BARELY in it! Its a good start for Christian movies, hopefully its the "Keith Green" of Christian movies! =) (By the way: a teacher @ my school always claimed some guy named Keith Green was one of the first Christian singers or something.)

Usually, when you know the movie is put out by Billy Graham, no one is going to be converting to Zoroastrianism by the end of the movie. The subplot is usually the same in every movie: Christian befriends non-Christian, non-Christian (and audience) hears the plan for salvation, and non-Christian usually becomes a Christian by the end. There's little suprise in that part.This movie reminded me a lot of the old "Walt Disney Presents" movies on Sunday night TV. Family-friendly, geniunely funny in some places, a little corny in others, and usually had some pro-social message in the end - be nice to old people, don't shoot deer, listen to Julie Andrews sing and you'll be rewarded by dancing on the celing....whatever. So, I guess you can call old Disney movies "propaganda disgusied as a movie," or whatever the bitter guy said a few posts back.As a light comedy, it works. The "Bad guys" are silly, the chase scenes are fun, and there are a few running gags that pay off towards the middle and end. Besides any "Christian" comedy that dares to take a swipe at the Partridge Family can't be that bad, can it? The parts that are shaky, as it sometimes is with WWP movies, the "Serious" moments between the granddaughter and grandfather are slow at times, and the scenes at the end are cliched. But, like I said, it's like a Sunday night Disney movie....You know what you're getting yourself into.
