Forty-Seven Days with Jesus

Found this movie on instagram and saw that they had Yoshi and Catherine from the Chosen. It wasn't until the opening credits did I realize that this IS NOT an Angel studios production. I was a little taken back but was super surprised that there are other independent production companies making good faith based films. The musical portions felt very grounded and I like how it was more serious than Jesus Christ Superstar. My family and I enjoyed it and I especially liked how they jumped back and forth from a real christian family to the Easter story. My kids latched onto the characters and it made it easy to answer all their questions after the movie. It would make a great tool to introduce the Easter story! Happy I got to see this film and I'm excited to see more from this company!

Wow!!!!!

Run, don't walk and bring the kids and grandkids! What a beautiful family movie! The acting is super solid. The directing was well done and the kids steal the show!!!! We need more movies like this especially now! Such an uplifting message and real life backdrop! Totally relatable! I didn't know what to expect... Loved it and the music/singing was unexpected and such a nice surprise! Such a wonderful way to tell the story LOVE!!!!!! I really enjoyed the "did you know" stuff before the film even started.... I hope this film makes its way into the lives of families across America and beyond...Bravo!

I really wanted to like this film. I'm a HUGE fan of "The Chosen" and have enjoyed recent "Christian-themed" movies like "Jesus Revolution", "The Shift and "His Only Son". I also like Yoshi Barrigas, who played the disciple Phillip for 2 seasons of "The Chosen". Alas, I wish he'd just stayed with "The Chosen". The plot of this film was more formulaic than even the corniest Hallmark Christmas movies, the dialog was wooden, and I'm sorry, but the musical numbers were really insufferable (and I love and have seen the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" more times than I can count). Barrigas did the best he could with a fairly annoying character, but yikes. It's been a long time since I have been THIS disappointed in a film.

I really enjoyed this film. I was a bit surprised about the musical part with the Jesus part of the film. For the most part I did like that, except the part on the cross. The story with the family I loved! Yoshi, who I loved as Phillip in The Chosen, was very good as Joseph as he struggled between between spending time with his family and working during family time, and Catherine ( who I really like as Mary sister if Lazarus in The Chosen) did good playing his wife trying to be patient, yet frustrated he is spending too much time with work then spending the time with his family, especially his dying father. The rest of the cast were good as well. I loved the kids. Overall, It was a nice family movie as the children learned about The Last 47 Days of Jesus, Joseph that sometimes the hardest choices are the best choices.

This movie was so much fun! The singing and dancing, the costumes, the sets, and of course the acting were all so entertaining. I think this film is a great way to introduce the Gospel to people. It delivers truth and encourages viewers to seek Jesus in their lives. The portrayal of Jesus and his miracles was heartwarming. The Burdon family was lovable, relatable, and real (and hilarious!) Finding a work/life balance is such a difficult thing, and this movie portrayed that issue in a realistic yet hopeful way. Finding parallels between the Gospel and modern day issues showed that the story of Jesus is just as important today as it was 2,000 years ago. This was a wonderful movie!
