| User ReviewBrian FExcellent movie. We rented it just 'cause it had "Jesus" in the title, expecting to find it to be something hollywoodish, but it really was great. It appears that the director is alluding to something that happened to him or someone he knows in real life. It demonstrates the struggle between religion and Jesus, how Catholics who find Jesus sometimes struggle to let go of tradition and hold unto love. It also challenges Christian tradition that doesn't believe in miracles. |
| User ReviewMladen FWHAT! Melissa Joan Hart was only in it for 5 seconds! Shame! Overall, pretty good storyline, some handsom men and good strong family bond in the end! |
| User ReviewApril YGood family movies - No cussing or nudity at all. |
| User ReviewHeather MOpening credits have Melissa Joan Heart, yeah, she's in one scene and probably got it all in one take. I don't recomend this movie to just anyone, considering it is super preachy with all the Jesus talk. They don't really explain some things too. Joey keeps seeing people that aren't there and then they make a random reference to Oh, God! with John Denver and even mention him but then they make a reference to the sequel, expecting people to know what they are talking about, and no one has seen that, why would you even assume people have seen that? |
