I thought it was a very good movie. It was real, down to earth, a portrait of a young man coming to grips with his childish attitudes and making a decision toward developing core values that embrace others instead of just himself and based on someone bigger than life. I liked the consistent theme of grace extended, real caring and loving people, and by the message of Christ, turns people into beyond they can imagine, a life of promise, friendships, eternal truth and satisfaction of knowing your taking the right path in life. PS: I hope the true life story of the girl child actress that kind of took a drug and rumble turn, can come out so well.

Cheesy story and filled with Christianity stuff. This is clearly a Christian movie. The story is pretty cheesy and pretty shallow and for my personal preference too much tide to any religion. It will not bring up some hidden talent or feeling in you, it is just like a preach of how finding Jesus and being correct will make you happy. The comedy part will not make you flip over, just some innocent jokes. Not too bad, I am just not into religious movies

This movie had a lot of layers nicely compacted into the main character, that got me emotionally involved in this film in a surprising way. Brett pulled off his role perfectly, and Anjelah was a great counterpart. I always end up respecting actors more highly when they do roles such as the ones in this movie, so whereas I liked Mr Dalton before from other roles, he was particularly endearing in this one. This movie is suitable for anyone who just likes pure human-nature-drama that weaves comedy, emotion, romance & moral dilemma into a feel-good tale. I'm very glad I watched it. It was refreshing to not be bombarded with intense graphic action, violence, trash talk, or dubious/insincere acting. This movie was clean, straightforward, and had a great message.

The resurrection of Gavin Stone. Absolutely impeccable movie. It represented the true heart of God and how giving and kind and how he DOES give second chances. It was a movie my whole family enjoyed. Seeing this movie made me realize that there is more to life than money and fame, and that the love of God is not temporary, but everlasting. Coming from a person who has personally struggled with beliefs and religion as a whole, this movie was wonderful to watch. It not only opened up my eyes, but opened my heart to Christ and Christianity as a whole. Amazing movie. Very well written, and the cast did a phenomenal job. Truly a great movie. I encourage everyone to see this. Blessed to have seen it.
