The Resurrection of Gavin Stone Audience Reviews

SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
RedneckGirl7 Funny, well made. Appreciated the plug for the car donation organization!
summergirl-51268 I really enjoyed this movie. It had quite a bit of humor but at the end when it needed to be serious it was. The moment Gavin Stone realizes the sacrifices Jesus made for him at the end of the movie, brought tears to my eyes. I bought the movie and watch it from time to time. I still get tears in my eyes at the end. I highly recommend watching the movie at least once.
jrbjc This movie had a lot of layers nicely compacted into the main character, that got me emotionally involved in this film in a surprising way. Brett pulled off his role perfectly, and Anjelah was a great counterpart. I always end up respecting actors more highly when they do roles such as the ones in this movie, so whereas I liked Mr Dalton before from other roles, he was particularly endearing in this one. This movie is suitable for anyone who just likes pure human-nature-drama that weaves comedy, emotion, romance & moral dilemma into a feel-good tale. I'm very glad I watched it. It was refreshing to not be bombarded with intense graphic action, violence, trash talk, or dubious/insincere acting. This movie was clean, straightforward, and had a great message.
Brian Bentel Watch out for this one. I saw the preview and it looked like it might be a feel-good and funny film. I took my wife to the theater and we were the ONLY people sitting in there. I soon found out why. About 30 seconds into the thing you can see it's low-budget -- audio in the first scene echoes. But that's not the problem. The problem is the script. It's NOT funny, though occasionally tries to be. Neither is it original, clever, or particularly believable. The actors have little to work with, and much of the time even if they did I don't think they could pull it off. Brett Dalton was great in Agents of Shield, but he generally sucks here. I guess everybody has bills to pay! DB Sweeney is also a decent actor, and probably the best this film had to offer, but his character -- like all of them in this film -- is one-dimensional and not likable. To be fair, there are some decent, emotionally moving scenes, mainly toward the very predictable end. The film is clearly designed with the hope of converting people to Christianity, and seems funded by organizations with that purpose. That's fine, but at least be entertaining in the process for those of us who have no interest. I basically felt duped about 3 minutes into this thing -- I wanted my $20 and 90 minutes back. I think very simple people who ALREADY are serious Christians might enjoy it, but this thing is basically crap.
