Do You Believe?

It's not easy pulling off an anthology movie, Christian-themed or not. The task of writing multiple stories, giving time for each character to grow, then bringing them all together for a believable climax seems to fail more often than not. Do You Believe? does an excellent job of creating multiple characters/story lines I cared about!

The acting is solid throughout, with my biggest compliment (and surprise) going to Brian Bosworth. His character's innate warmth resonates in every scene he's in. It's not a big, flashy part but it suits his talents well and he nails it. Ted McGinley also scores high marks as a pastor who just wants to do the right thing.

As I mentioned earlier, pulling off an anthology film is not an easy task and yes, there will be some who'll say the ending is clichéd, having all these characters intersect. But that's the point! God wants a personal relationship with all of us and He can use our lives however He sees fit. If you're a Christian, you'll get it. If not, give the movie a chance and see where it leads your heart.

It is unfortunate that this movie is currently getting such a low rating on IMDb because it is a quite a good movie and it isn't a fair representative of the quality. There are many Christian movies out there, some of them very low quality and low budget, often not very well made that I am fairly critical of. This is not one of those movies.

I am a youth director and took 8 youth (both junior high and high school) and 3 adults to go watch the movie and every one LOVED it. There wasn't a dry eye in the place - it is touching and inspiring.

Look here is the deal: there are some cheesy moments in the movie. But it is a powerful story, over all VERY well told, and has a needed message: faith without works is dead.

I am giving this movie an 8/10. I thought about bumping it up because of the low rating it had been given, but as a movie critic I think this is the fair and actual rating it deserves. It is a GREAT movie (and very few movies will I give a 9 or 10).

If you do not like Christianity then you will probably not like this movie.

If you are a Christian, I highly recommend it!!

I have to admit it started a little slow at first, but loved it! It has some great messages and themes throughout and great acting! Bring the Kleenex! I saw this at an early screening sponsored by Pureflix and I thought it was fantastic. I saw the unfinished cut and will go see it again. I can't wait to see the finished product. People from all walks of life should appreciate the truth and honesty portrayed in the film.I don't like when people immediately dismiss a film because of its Christian views and say things like its cheesy. No, it's truth and a lot of people don't like to have the facts right in front of them. I hope God uses this film to touch a lot of people's hearts and get them to begin asking themselves the question, "Do you believe?"

This was a great movie and it is encouraging that there are more Christians in Hollywood then originally thought just that the ones that aren't are the loudest. I read a post that said there was only one black guy in the movie, once again about race and ask which race is perpetuating it. Anyway check the cast on IMDb and you will see that there are more black then one I can think of 6 with out looking. The movie was great so I recommend everyone with and open mind to see it for what it is. Propaganda? Propaganda is trying to make you think one way this movie is trying to tell you about the cross and let you decide which way you want to think.

After suffering through "Saving Christmas" and reading that this movie had received bad reviews on many sites, I really was not expecting much. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. For me, It was gripping and thought provoking. The acting was a lot better than the reviews, and the story line was well put together for a 120 minute movie. This is definitely worth watching and once again proves that you should never take some "critics" review of a movie too seriously. What I loved about it is how it ties together 12 different peoples journey to Christ and tackles that age old question, "why does God let bad things happen to good people?". It shows how we only see a little part of his plan and his understanding is far greater than ours.
