Small Group

This movie did a good job showing how there are problems in life and in relationships, but that we can find help through the encouragement and support of others and certainly through our faith. There was humor, sadness and joy which contributed to the main message.

This film did a good job of staying away from the over dramatized cliche of Christian films while still showing the important aspects of life that becoming a believer has. would watch again, Go See It

Matt Chastain's film about a reporter who goes "undercover" to expose the true nature of church is incredibly funny - and poignantly shows how church can get it right. Fully aware of all the ways church can get it wrong, Chastain's script delivers in ways that people who've been in small groups will chuckle knowingly and people who haven't will realize what they've been missing all along. In the end, having entertained us, Chastain will also leave us mulling over what it means to be a person of faith - or even a person who wants to leave an impact on the world. Now, we have to sit back and wait to see what he's going to challenge us with next.

I won't even lie, I was concerned going in because it is a faith based film and well--no one likes getting preached at. But this movie takes a different approach and is all the better for it. Rather than berating the viewer with bible verses and kitschy morals, this movie focuses on telling a good story that just so happens to contain a few morals along the way.

This film not only captured the nuance of real life in a way that no other faith based film I've seen has before, but was also willing to take risks with the writing and directing which make it far more accessible to a secular audience.

Small group has something for everyone including a story that is actually interesting, characters you can actually empathize with, and jokes that are actually funny. And while it may or may not have you wondering if you should start going to church again, it's definitely worth the watch.

I liked the movie because it was real and not churchy. I felt the character's emotions and felt like I was apart of their life. My one wish would be more elaboration on some events than others. LOVED how the neighbor played into the plot. Awesome!
