Leave your thoughts about Faith of Our Fathers.
| VarietyJustin ChangA clumsily told story of friendship and wartime remembrance that has a tough time serving up a halfway believable moment, let alone a moving and powerful testimony about the Lordship of Jesus Christ. |
| AV ClubVadim RizovIt’s obnoxious, to say the least, to use the Vietnam War as an excuse to affirm the importance of telling all and sundry about Jesus at all times (i.e., “testifying”), under all circumstances. |
| Fresno BeeRick Bentley[Faith of Our Fathers] gets high points for good intentions but loses most of them for execution. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyFaith of Our Fathers doesn't work, and not because of its Christian message. The main problems are the obvious script (every plot-twist can be seen coming from miles down the road), the bad acting, and the cheaply-done, unconvincing Vietnam flashbacks. |
| SSG SyndicateSusan GrangerAmateurishly faltering, Christian-based saga that preaches to the choir. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperMessage about heroics and bravery comes too late in the movie to overcome the mess that preceded it. |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoWar drama has combat scenes, heavy-handed message. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenThis evangelical "Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam" by way of "The Dukes of Hazzard" takes a mighty ridiculous route to righteousness. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckFaith of Our Fathers is undone by its wobbly tone, hokey script and amateurish execution. |
| GuardianJordan HoffmanThe acting is atrocious, the dialogue a disgrace and the props look like they were designed by a conscripted middle-school drama club. |
