The Resurrection of Gavin Stone (2017)
Glad we got a chance to watch this movie!
My wife and I have been enjoying "The Chosen" series by Dallas Jenkins. When I googled him, I read a rather curious point about how his first full length movie was a total bomb and how that impacted his personal life for a while. So naturally, we felt like we needed to see what this movie was all about since we thought The Chosen was a magnificent piece of work. We found The Resurrection of Gavin Stone on Prime and watched it.
For the life of me, I cannot understand WHY this move didn't generate better reviews and have a better rating. Sure, it's a Faith-based movie and as a Christian, I enjoy Faith-based movies and feel like I should support them. Perhaps the problem with the movie was the fact that it didn't generate much buzz when it came out in 2017 (here it is at the end of 2020 and I'm just now hearing about this movie?). But it should have generated some buzz because it was a real heart-felt movie that contained good comedy and definitely a good message of a second chance at life. And since a big part of the Christian message is having a second chance, it certainly checked that box!
I'm glad my wife and I found this movie during this Christmas season as we thoroughly enjoyed watching it!
The Chosen (2017)
What a passionate portrayal of the life of Jesus
I've been a Christian for many years and have heard and read the story of Jesus many times. But this is by far the most passionate and in depth one I have ever seen. These characters bring forth a different angle to every story in each of the first eight episodes. I, for one, can't wait to see what Season Two brings!
