TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Lisa Lockworth I loved this movie. The acting was on point and the story was beautiful, inspiring, and thought-provoking, without being over done. It's a great movie. The storyline was written to intrigue and the timing of each set of events unfolds in a natural way...In a way that allows the viewer to sort of "get lost" in the movie. You forget your watching a movie as you become immersed in the lives of the characters as they venture toward realistic challenges. I never forgot this film, and although it may have not been a blockbuster hit, it's one of those rare gems that touch a certain amount of movie-goers who seek entertaining films that offer something mentally stimulating. Even though this work is purely an artistic spin on a Christian themed idea, it's overall message is truth.
Rocky VanDergriff All I want to say is thank you.The words can not express the appreciation I feel, you have truly blessed my family and everyone I show this film to, It feels so good to know there are movie producers willing to bring the Word of God and His love to life. So many times I could not hold back the tears, you have Christ spirit in this film. Joshua Homashea.God Bless you truly and once again thank you.I will lift you up in prayer continually.PS: I have watch this film around 8 times already, and always look forward to seeing it the next time
ccthemovieman-1 Now here is an honest-to-goodness Christian movie, based on the best-selling book in the mid '90s by Fr. Joseph Girzone. This parable, I would think, would be a lot more effective evangelizing film than The Passion Of The Christ, only because this is so much more pleasant to watch. But it is no watered-down version, either. While Mel Gibson's film shows Christ's love in the incredibly- painful sacrifice he made, this movie shows the nature of His love in ordinary, everyday life with ordinary people.This is a not a Second Coming story, rather just what Jesus might be like if he re-appeared and mingled with human beings today, in this case in a small southern town in the United States. Here, "Joshua" (Tony Goldwyn) is pictured helping a diverse group of townspeople, ministering to them individually and helping them to come together as a community. He isn't arrogant or pushy about it; he just leads by example. A sub-plot involves his influence with two local priests: an older skeptical pharisee-like cleric (F. Murray Abraham) and his younger and personable assistant (Kurt Fuller).It's nicely done, with good production values and some solid acting. It's not too heavy-handed for the unbelievers while at the same inspiring to believers. As one of the latter, this movie just made me feel good all the way through. This kind of movie isn't just unusual.....it's downright rare.
tdi-2 I enjoyed this movie. I actually went to see it in the movie theater about 3 years ago. I think it is pretty ironic that this movie replays itself on the Trinity Bible Netork. In the scene when Joshua confronts the "faith healer", I couldn't help but think of Benny Hinn, or Steve Martin's Jonas Nightengale... Anyways, Joshua is a good movie that does an excellent job of capturing the Girzone books. It is also a much better Christian flick than the Left Behind and Omega Code series that present all of Christianity as only an end-times oriented religion. The foil between Father Tardone and Father Hayes is an enjoyable one to watch, especially as a pastor...there is definitely some real life truth there. Joshua is a film that gives a bit of hope to the "Christian Movie Business." I am excited about what will be coming out of the Christian alternative to Hollywood in the future.
