Um Pouco de Fé

This was a movie I started watching one evening and had no idea what it was about when it began. The movie starts with a newspaper journalist being asked by his childhood rabbi to do him a favor...to write his eulogy at the time of his death. I was drawn into it immediately. And with good reason. This is a wonderful (true) story about faith, our place in the world, and what we can do to make a difference in the lives of others. It's about treating others with kindness, respect, and compassion. It's about not judging a person by their past deeds but rather by their present ones. It's about second chances...and third and fourth chances if needed. It's about having faith in God and in turn allowing God to show you how to have faith in mankind and the goodness that comes when we give of ourselves to others. It is a story of hope and love, faith and forgiveness. Very moving, heartfelt, and inspiring. A beautiful movie.

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THAT PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE ABOUT THESE FILMS.

In this film Mitch Albom has a pretty great life. Then two men come into his life, and he realizes something's missing. Albom witnesses first-hand how these two very different men not only live life, but celebrate it. They believe there's divine spark in all of us - and that a single person can make a big difference in others' lives, as long as they have a little faith.

This film seems to play at Christmas time on the Hallmark Channel. Now I find that funny because you never see "CHristmas Decor" anywhere. The film ends around Christmas time but you never see a tree.

Now what I loved the most about this film was the message that "You are not your Past". People "Can Change".

There is a scene in the film where Laurence Fishburne character is preaching and it brought me to tears. It was very moving and hits home.

Family safe but children will be bored. The film doesn't have a "Cookie Cutter" premise. Nice change pf pace from typical "Hallmark" film. If you get the chance watch it when its on.

This is one of those movie that every single human being should experience . The morale of the story for me was we are all flawed humans, some more than others , but we all have the potential to redeem ourselves in the eyes of God and humanity. Mitch, the Reb, and Henry Covington have traveled vastly different paths , but in the end are really more alike than they are different, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, there is goodness in everyone .

The movie was great. Very inspiring, of how God can change us, no matter what we've done. Love the Rabbi!

However...really? Do you guys know that Jews do not have Sunday school? They worship on Sabbath! When Rabbi is showing Mitch the old pics on wall...he says " graduating from Sunday school class". Pretty big blooper for some of us who know.....

This movie will leave your really thinking about what matters most. Drawn in right from the start.
