Treasure Lies

Once again two positive reviews that most likely comes from family or friends and have no real connection to the movie. Casting and story is just soo bad. Sad to see you can´t depend on these kind of reviews :(

I saw a couple angry reviews, which I don't really understand. So I will preface this by saying that I am not related to, or friends with anyone connected to this film.

This movie has a great underlying message. The movie is funny and it kept my attention. It is a family-friendly movie and it doesn't take the Lord's name in vain, so that's great!

Essentially, the main character gets his hand on a winning lottery ticket, but unfortunately he lets money change his outlook on life.

Funny, thought provoking, thoroughly entertaining. The actors were engaging. Can't wait to get family together and watch it again.

We dumped all of our streaming services because of the increasing amount of crap and agendas being pushed out there. Our alternatives are few and admittedly PureFlix is kind of a weak alternative. Most of the movies are cheesy and low budget. This one is slightly low budget and the acting isn't top quality - and so I wasn't expecting much. However, the plot has multiple levels and even when I thought it was going a direction that would have left a TON of plot holes, it rescued itself. There are several situations that might pull on your heartstrings if you're not too calloused.

Admittedly this is for a Christian audience and so a lot of people might be annoyed by how clean it is and that there is a Biblical message - I for one find it to be a breath of fresh air when movies these days are plenty preachy with all kinds of other ideals.

I do wish the resolve of the plot went a little different but there is a twist in there I didn't see coming and that is worth a ton when one of my biggest complaints about PureFlix-type movies is there ridiculous predictability.

We rented "Treasure Lies" on Vimeo. I watched it with my wife and youngest son (who is 19) and it kept all of us very engaged. My wife and son kept essentially yelling at the screen trying to tell the characters what to do as they got themselves in and out of awkward situations. The twists and turns of the story were great, a few of them predictable and many of them totally unpredictable. It has a very good biblical/moral lesson that does not feel forced and fits in right with the theme of "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." It was also very well cast and acted too so the directing was also very good. I would highly recommend it.
