La Familia Sparrow

I saw the preview on another movie and it looked like a good movie so I ordered it on Amazon. I accidentally ordered qty 2. Wished I noticed the mistake before my purchase. Just finished watching it. Very quickly in, the dialog and acting was very cheesy and sickeningly sweet. Obviously it was intended for a Christian audience. The story wasn't bad but it was poorly done and the ending was extremely rushed. One thing that annoys me about movies like this is when much of the dialog is constant laughter between the characters while conversations. It comes across as sickeningly sweet and not natural at all. I am also not sure why Kevin Sorbo is on the cover of the movie twirling the young girl around like he was the main character. He's not. He was only in 2 small scenes.

This is a quasi "faith based" film in that the family pastor shows up twice and says a few cryptic sentences and a Bible is shown once or twice. There are a least two stories which never get resolved and the main story is about two close friends (of a couple of weeks). It appears the movie was shot on a low budget and half way through, they realized most of the money was gone so a hurry-up conclusion had to be concocted. I am afraid this is a charlatan attempt to cash in on the current desire for good, wholesome, faith-based movies and that Christian families will watch anything that pretends to be such. Find another use of your time.
