Fishes 'n Loaves: Heaven Sent

A pastor from California that sounds like he is from New York, and a small town in Arizona with fake southern accents, a half dressed woman throwing herself at every man she sees? Really? As a true southerner and a Christian, I am offended by this entire production. I can appreciate the attempt to bring this distant family back together, but other than the fact that the main character is a preacher going to a new church, a true message falls short. The actors had potential. The story line had potential. The editing and camera work we're good quality, but overall, unfortunately, the potential message was not genuinely portrayed.

What is wrong with a sweet family movie that is not a Hollywood production? If it espouses family values, doesn't have any cuss words, can provide an opportunity for a family to talk about change and faith, I think it's worth a shot. Haters, step aside. Geek out moment: It also has two actors from Stormship Troopers I never thought would do a family movie.

The plot dragged on and on. The dialogue seems to be designed to insult the Southern drawl in addition to being shallow. Uncle Joey and wife in Los Angeles sounded like New Jersey transplants. The characters were stereotypes. There was some sexual tension between the half-naked blonde and any of the men, and her attire and behavior should have earned a PG-13 rating. Halfway through the movie and there was only one episode of Pastor Randy doing any ministering.

Not realistic of any town or church I've seen and I am from the hills of WV. Too much sitcom type comedy. I was disappointed, and hoped it would get better as the movie went on, but even the ending seemed like kids had written the script.

My first clue that this was amateur hour were the credits. I remember when I first tried my hand at editing a home movie. That's what the credits looked like. Someone getting excited that they could have the credits on the screen get hidden by the characters in the foreground. Then gee look I can have my main character in the background with the titles in the front of them then do the same cheesy effect wit another character in front of them. Now on to the acting... You know what I'm as bored as I was watching stiff acting and bad dialogue mixed in with a bit of overacting. Don't forget the corny soundtrack. Constantly beating you over the head to stress things. Likely in order that since you don't know what to make of the movie the music can guide you along.
