I loved this movie, with a positive storyline, a very talented group of actors. Well written and produced with a good message. Thank goodness,no nudity,or bad language . A very good family movie, I've watched it at least 5 times and I'm sure I'll watch it again. Thank for this refreshing experience.

This is a good movie that will bring smiles and for some maybe tears. It is entertaining, which is hard to find coming out of Hollywood these days. It is underated probably because that same Hollywood and all its cronies like Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB paid critics are afraid of a movie like this. And maybe they have a right to be afraid. IT IS NOT a movie intent on 'saving' you or turning you to the Lord. IT IS NOT a Hallmark movie. You are not going to have the urge to be 'Born Again' after you watch this movie. It is not a movie directed at a Christian audience. You can almost hear the fear in the negative reviews on this movie, so much so it is laughable. It is a movie directed by a man (if that offends you then this movie is not for you), who takes his inspiration from his Faith in Christianity. Dallas Jenkins is a skilled director who casts for characters that work well together on the screen. At it's heart it is a romantic comedy. It is a movie who want to be entertained. It is a feel good movie. You remember those, don't you? It is a movie where you don't have to fast forward through parts because of sex, drugs, inappropriate language, violence or crude humor. One warning though, if you watch it with your kids and you are entirely drowned in secularism, whatever form it takes, be prepared to answer questions. For me it's a solid 7 on IMDB. I could watch it again. May God Bless You.

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.

We enjoed this movie as a family. The plot is quite clichéd and esay to forsee. But the acting is good and there is some nice slapstick dialogue and a good natured humor which - if you are familiar with church culture - makes you laugh about yourself/your church culture in a refreshing way. It is a clearly faith based film centred around the message of love, forgiveness, grace and getting a second chance. Entertaining and family friendly. Not very compelling but not too cheesey.

Our church showed this film for a Family Movie Night. I had seen it prior and loved it, especially for its comedic moments, but I was thrilled to see how our members connected with the characters. Gavin Stone's journey to faith in Jesus has elements all viewers can relate to. I loved the laughter at some of Gavin's antics and the conversations afterward about how relationships with others can impact each of us, especially when we share our stories. Enjoyed this movie so much that I bought the DVD.

Sure, a religious movie but just right combination of a good story and credible acting.

Not your typical "Christian" film. Good acting and realistic dialogue. It's actually something the whole family can enjoy. Something for everyone.

In a word, Resurrection of Gavin Stone is "cute". It's a low stakes, lower budget, feel-good film that thinks thinks its giving you the world when really its just giving you a breezy, disposable and pleasant little ride. It wouldn't fit comfortably on any serious film fan's top favorites but I could see it left up on someone's refrigerator. Brett Dalton of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013-Present) fame plays our titular character Gavin Stone; a former child star whose emotional baggage has gotten him an heap of recent trouble. When we first meet the swarthy Gavin he's weighing the pros and cons of going to jail for a few weeks or doing 200 hours of community service at a local megachurch. He chooses the latter and in the process stumbles into a the role of a lifetime in the church's annual Passion play. To play the role of Jesus Christ however, Gavin Stone has to pretend to be a true Christian - a guise he struggles to keep as he butts heads with the play's stringent director Kelly (Johnson-Reyes). Easily the best parts of Gavin Stone are the gentle, humorous cultural exchanges between Gavin and the gaggle of Christians who naively fall for his born-again routine. Gavin tries to put the wool over their eyes (at least as much as a non-drinking, non-swearing, non-Christian can) but finds himself comforted by their humility and grace. When his conversion begins in earnest, he goofs and falters, much like any foreigner to a new church would. The exchanges are not just one way either. When two side characters stumble over their lines for the upcoming play, Gavin helpfully supplies them with some simple acting exercises. Yet all the well-meaning moments never amount to much. For all of the film's attempts to label Stone as a flagrantly debased bad boy, he hardly does anything to deserve such a moniker. His main source of consternation, his strained relationship with his father (Flynn) provides very little in the way of actual stakes let alone honest human conflict. Combined with his immediate willingness to help people he barely knows and there seems to be nothing about him to resurrect. He's simply a nice guy whose slight narcissism can easily be cured by a four hour church service. Blame it on the film's devotion for a PG rating I guess. The artificial quaintness of Gavin Stone becomes even more embarrassing when it wades into waters far beyond its depth. Questions of salvation, atonement and grace are answered with fortune-cookie wisdom, chintzy rom-com clichés and the continual insistence that Christian values are somehow a rarity in today's day and age. When Stone finally sees the light, as it were, we're made privy to a testimonial that exploits Christ in the most spurious of ways. An act that would be downright insulting if it weren't so sophomoric. Yet its hard to truly dislike a movie that pushes pious humility through uniformly charming characters. The fact that Gavin Stone partially succeeds while proselytizing from a megachurch pulpit should be considered a miracle within itself. I cannot argue whether the film will prove entertaining for the unconverted but at least true-blue born-agains have a movie that's of objectively better quality than the God's Not Dead (2014-Present) movies.

This is one of the best and enjoyable Christian movies that I have seen in a long time applying an 'everyday life' theme - well done guys! This film gives a very good and heavy example of someone who - yes he lied about his believe in Jesus - but Jesus changed his life through the believers in the play. Great chemistry in the Spirit with everyone. Kudos to the play and excellent story line and I pray that the Lord opens more opportunities for this group. What's next?
