The Solomon Bunch

Thought this would be a cute movie to share with my kids ages 10 and 12. Was really looking forward to the healthy moral and value features so many of today's films omit. Sadly the film was soooooo very slow that my children grew bored in the first 15 minutes. Comments I heard were "Kids don't really think this way at all" and "parents don't really speak this way" and "How come all these kids run around without any supervision ever" I admit, I too.. found many scenes very unrealistic and hard to swallow, lol. The film was cheesy with a CAPITAL "C" and had a cultish feel to it. As if, perhaps, some small town, narrow minded church filmed each scene using only non professional actors ( members of their own congregation ) themselves with messages or ideas they WISH were reality in today's world. It was completely unbelievable and the lines were very forced. In all honesty we turned it off and found an alternate film to watch that actually entertained us.

The story idea may have been great. The execution just didn't work. Perhaps this film was created for a very very young Sunday school/church camp audience? Definitely not for mainstream public viewing.

We watched this movie with other families and all the kids enjoyed it! I myself, had quite a laugh during the movie. The movie is Christian based and I encourage the whole family to watch it. All the cast had excellent acting and made even the blandest lines exciting. This movie expresses good morals and values. I recall the fainting scene which everyone around me thought was hilarious. Hopefully, the director will produce a sequel to this movie. If you are looking for a family friendly film, I would highly recommend this. The humor keeps the children interested in the movie. My son's Sunday School are already planning to show this film to the kids.
