Reviews
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a former child star, who lives a messed up adult life. He is sentenced to community service in a church, and his life is changed forever.It is interesting to see a romantic comedy that combines religious elements in it. It works though, as it is not an in your face preaching type of story. The way Gavin transforms is very nice to see, and it is also touching that the church is very supportive. In short, it is a film that breathes of positivity.
sdsd110 If you do, you will like this movie. Set in a wonderfully pleasant and scenic suburban Chicago town, boy with a troubled past but a good heart, meets girl with a successful but somewhat empty life. Predictable plot with predictable twists and turns (yes, that's an oxymoron), followed by the predictable happy ending. Because they are so predictable, romcoms only work when the characters are interesting and they are well written. In this case both were done right making for an enjoyable movie. The group of guy friends, which is a common component in romcoms, is a strength of this movie. Their interesting, their funny, they add real depth to the movie. The Christian theme works well and is kept in perspective. If you would enjoy a really good Hallmark Channel type of movie on the big screen, then this one is for you.
bhaskellof6 We are a family that LOVES movies! Christian movies typically can be somewhat cheesy in the portrayal of real people and real actions- But we love the message of love and faith they portray but so often the acting just seems not realistic. This movie was real, genuine and totally enjoyable! The actors and actresses in the film were like real people who are believers and live life as people who are trying, not with perfection to portray Jesus's message of mercy and grace. And I love the heart of the pastor portrayed in this movie, leading and guiding his flock with love and wisdom, not a dim wit. I urge everyone to take the time not just to go see the Resurrection of Gavin Stone, but to share with others on all the social media you can. Spread the word! It is a blessing and joy to share the blessings in your life, this film was definitely one of the many blessed moments in mine. It is hard to write much more without spoiling any of the plot.... so go watch it for yourselves. Thank you Vertical Church Productions and the others who invested and took the time to portray a view of real Christians in a way that is genuine and sincere.
Abigail Crawford Haskell (wowmasterox) 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.
