Miracle in East Texas

Solid story, solid cast and acting. It works. Leave the politics at home when reviewing. You can feel the passion and the atmosphere that is East Texas in the film through the cast and story. You can tell this was a work of love. The story is somewhat predictable but not enough to spoil the film nor the ending. With a plot from Dan Gordon (Wyatt Earp, Murder in the First, the Hurricane, Highlander, Tank and others) you've got a good script to start and good directing from Kevin Sorbo. Throw in a good cast that loves to work and bring magic to the audience and you've got a good film. It's a film that works.

This movie is objectively good, and I've rated thousands of movies so I would know. I doubt that it is scientifically or historically accurate, but these are not my areas and I wouldn't know anyways. Besides, this is fiction - so I don't believe it's supposed to be. What I do know is that it is an engaging movie that is funny and charming at times, and just the right length of time.

What concerns me about some of the other reviews here is that people are panning Kevin Sorbo and the movie for other reasons that do not seem rational or fair. Either that or people no longer enjoy movies without sex and violence, where the characters and writers value faith and family and community.

It was just a good written film with some humor no language family-friendly movie. That you can't say about too many movies anymore. It's too bad that the rating above overall is poor. People are just not open to seeing a good movie without language or sex in it. I applaud you for this those that made this movie. Thank you Kevin, actors and crew!

As you can see I'm not real big on riding a whole bunch of stuff I just say it plain and clear and it won't let me enter this without 600 characters so I will go on some more about the story being good and cute timely I love when people all come together from everywhere anytime and there's a happy ending. Make sure you watch it all the way through to the credits they have takeouts from the movie.

Had the misfortune to see this "movie". Kevin Sorbo has to be the absolute worst actor on the face of the earth. I could go on and on about how terrible his acting was, but I'll reserve it for your own opinion. The story lacked content, not well written and quite boring. Just another story about a dried-up swindler who is looking to rejuvenate himself, like Sorbo's acting career.. The gist of the story is that two con men try to convince a group of widows to invest in worthless oil wells during the Great Depression. Don't like the story line, didn't care for the movie. At all. 15 more charactlers...

Really enjoyed working as Kevin's stand in as well as meeting the whole Sorbo family! What a true success/American dream story in Kevin and Sam Sorbo! They are Actors that we can truly look up to.... and to have the kids on set working along side was a true blessing.

The whole experience was excellent, the interdepartmental cooperation, sense of family spirit, good clean comedy, both in front of and behind the camera.

Being on set with my wife Tree as volunteer kitten wrangler was also very fun, but our intense long work days must have made the on film product that much better. We were also protected from storms on set with so many prayers shared on this film.

I understand it wasn't a big budget film, but the team that came together were brilliant and professional all around. Would love to do it all again!
