TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
jfarms1956 This is a family film. The movie feels like a remake of "It's A Wonderful Life." What If is a movie which can lead to each of us questioning our choices that we made in life. Kevin Sorbo gives an adequate performance of both a high financial negotiator and a Christian minister. However, I still see Kevin Sorbo as "Hercules" the hero of the common man and noble of spirit. In both his roles, Kevin is still "Hercules" -- hero of the common man with the feelings of the common man as well as being noble of spirit. It is a good movie to watch in the afternoon rather than the evening, although OK to watch in the evening. The movie has no real stressful moments and is easily forgotten once you watch another movie. Enjoy.
Tony Heck "Nothing is gonna change...trust me." Ben Walker and his fiancée Wendy are planning their life together when Ben leaves on a trip for only a few months. A few months turns into 15 years and Ben has changed his entire life. His plans for becoming a minister and marrying Wendy changed to how much money can he make being a money hungry investment banker. When an angel comes to Earth and shows Ben what is life could have been like if he stayed on his original plan Ben has a choice to make. Not to cause an argument here but to me most of the faith based movies that come out are very cheesy and unbelievable. Movies like "5th Quarter", "Courage" and even "The Blind Side" to me are not that good mainly because there seems to be no real substance. Those movies are...if this doesn't happen then this can't...next scene everything works out perfect. Like in "Blind Side" when the family is told that if Michael doesn't pass this next test he will not be able to play, and then the very next scene is him saying I passed the test. This movie is the exception. While it does have it's cheesiness and is predictable it has something the other movies didn't...a real character facing real decisions. The only way to describe this movie is that it's very much like "It's a wonderful life" but with more God. To see Kevin Sorbo in a movie like this is strange at first but he does a great job. This is a definite must see for families as it will show what is important in life. Overall, not being a fan of faith based movies I really really enjoyed this one and I highly recommend it. I give it an A.
Matthew Shoemaker I have seen What If... many times and with each time I watch it, I love it more and more. It is an All Star Cast with perfection in acting. What If... is the perfect blend of joy, laughter and tears with a wonderful,unforgettable ending! What If... is going to be a timeless classic and is suitable for all ages. There is a message that is woven into the script that God loves each of us and that He has a purpose for our lives. I have a background in media and from a technical standpoint, the lighting, the camera and the directing were excellent, no details were missed. We need more movies like What If... with excellent values. Values that bring people together, values that give a deeper meaning to life. Excellent job Dallas! I look forward to watching it for years to come and I will keep watch for any other movies you produce...Matthew Shoemaker
kristinemcguire Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you had made different choices? Can we really have a second chance in life to do things differently?What If...a new Christian movie in theatrical release from Pure Flix Entertainment starring Kevin Sorbo, Kristy Swanson, Debby Ryan, and John Ratzenberger offers a whimsical look into one man's life and the choices he's made over a fifteen year period. The story follows a similar theme as the classic "It's a Wonderful Life" but with a little twist.What If... is currently playing at one of our local theaters, so I went to see it this afternoon. I cannot tell you how much I love this movie! Everything about the production is top quality (not to mention the added bonus that some of it was filmed in MY city...hooray for Grand Rapids, MI!) and I am thrilled to encourage everyone I know to go out and see it. This is a movie filled with humor and a wonderful message reminding us of God's love and that He has a good plan for each one of our lives.Here's the plain and simple: What If... truly delivers from beginning to end! Great story, superior acting, and just fun to watch.By the way, hat's off to Pure Flix Entertainment! A Christian production company which is obviously stepping up it's game and offering top quality movies for all audiences. I can't wait to see what they give us next, especially if it's performed with the same excellence as "What If..."So if your looking for a great family film check out the official What If... website and find out when and where it's playing in your area. If it's not available then make sure you join the campaign to bring the film to your city because your going to want to take your whole church on a field trip to see it! It would also make an awesome date night movie (hint, hint!)
