Um Outro Encontro

Every Christian should see this film! Every bit as good as anything Alex Kendrick has produced. Jefferson Moore has a knack for great dialog and getting the word out without being overbearing.

Young lady with doubts in her mind about her parents faith in God, meets a counsellor onaplane and all her questions about her doubts aboutJesus are answered as the listener one by one shows empathy and understanding about her perspective. She begins to grasp that Jesus is beside her, and that He loves her.

The movie Another Perfect Stranger is GREAT. It is entertaining and could be very useful in sharing your beliefs with your friends and also to get people really thinking about what they believe and does their immediate reaction to an idea hold valid when really thought through. In fact I want to buy a copy of this film for my own family to watch together. I would also like to see this movie aired at a time slot during the day so more people could view it. I saw it at 11 PM, so the viewing audience is smaller. I would also hope you could show it on non cable networks, not everyone has cable or dish. This type of film should be marketed to churches, not only for their use but for them to sell to their members to enjoy in their own living rooms at leisure. These films should be available to be rented at a video store like Blockbuster. I look forward to more films like Another Perfect Stranger.

Following on the heels of the original film, "A Perfect Stranger", the daughter known as "Sarah Cominsky" (Ruby Lewis) is now a teenager who is leaving her home in Chicago and traveling to Portland with the hope of being accepted into the Art Institute there. Having just learned of her mother's supposed dinner with Jesus at a restaurant, Sarah is suddenly quite anxious to leave home and skeptical of all religion-to include Christianity. What she doesn't know is that Jesus is sitting in a seat next to her on the airplane to Portland. What follows next is an enjoyable conversation between the two of them. At any rate, although quite similar to the previous film, this movie is almost as delightful as it manages to mix some humor with some deeply spiritual points-of-view. Now, I have no doubt that most Christians will like this movie. However, it might also appeal to non-Christians as well. That said, it's worth a look for those who might be interested.

It seems to me that virtually all Christian films seem alike. I'm always conscious that all the support staff and extras are acting, and feel like the quality of production and direction simply aren't on a par with major Hollywood releases.

That said, I nevertheless appreciate the attempts to convey the genuine issues, questions and problems people have with "religion" and not only like to see how well Christian films deal with them, but very much enjoy seeing people come to an understanding of the love of God for them that is ultimately the standard message in all Christian films.

Ruby Marie Lewis did a good job in what appears to be her first acting role and I never found the movie boring but rather enjoyed it more than the movies that try to "scare" people into becoming a Christian like the "Rapture" films do.

For those who like "feel good" movies, you should like this. Don't let the God-haters that IMDb is full of sway you by their negative votes. It's a decent movie.
