Miracle Maker

Love the moral of the story! An act of kindness can go so far!

This movie is what Christmas movies are supposed to be. Sweet, sentimental, and about forgiveness. In other words, a good Christian movie 🎥 without shoving anything down your throat. Too many movies nowadays are geared towards pleasing special interests. That's why my family tunes out more and more...

The little girl did a wonderful job with her role . She was super cute and had my family giggling on more than one occasion. Our make lead was quite handsome as well which didn't hurt my feelings one bit. His acting was spot on.

I also enjoyed the background scenery of the Hamlet. To be honest, I wouldn't mind living there.

Unique plot. Great job with the circa 1870's props and sets. Cooper Johnson did an excellent job portraying Oliver. The cast and drew did an awesome job overcoming some of the biggest challenges in the film making business: working with children and animals and the movie being set over 100 years in the past. Having worked on films like this, I know how hard it is so kudos to all of you who worked on this film. I highly recommend this very family friendly Christmas themed movie. Even the dog "Shadow" did a fine job. I wonder if the dog was named in honor of Shadow from Homeward Bound? That Shadow from Homeward Bound was actually a miracle worker in real life having helped mute autistic children to speak for the first time.

It all happens when there's advance word by letter and word of a lot of gossipy mouths that a Miracle Maker is coming to some small gaslight era town in the 19th century. Some miracles do happen when Jacob Stoenman comes to this unnamed middle America town of the era. Even the town's Mr. Potter played by Brian Krause gets a change of heart in the end.

Borrowing also a bit from Pollyanna, Miracle Maker is an interesting family film that's light on the overt preaching. In the end some real miracle does take place with those rocks which he uses for currency as he clears some worthless land he's settled on prove valuable. You have to watch the film for that one.

This is an easy to take holiday fantasy film.

I was very pleased with this film. It was not quite what I expected, though it gave so much more. Though the man could have been an Angel, he performed his acts of kindness as if it were second nature to him. He consistantly acted in love of his neighbor as should we all. I would strongly recommend this film for family viewing and even touching up on our own reflective walk of love.
