    Don't listen to the haters!

    An excellent movie brought to life by Dan Gordon! The acting and directing is excellent.

    These days politics invades every part of life, including entertainment. That HAS to be the reason for all the negative reviews. You can actually feel the hatred coming through the words in their reviews. More than likely, most of those reviewers have not even seen the movie, just doing the reviews to damage the film and the actors because they don't agree with their perceived politics. They would probably enjoy the mindless super hero movies, rather than movies with substance.

    The movie is dramatic, funny, and has a really good plot. A very enjoyable movie that is devoid of sex and offensive language which is very hard to find these days.

    Do yourself a favor, see this movie, you won't regret it!

    See the film before reviewing

    Solid story, solid cast and acting. It works. Leave the politics at home when reviewing. You can feel the passion and the atmosphere that is East Texas in the film through the cast and story. You can tell this was a work of love. The story is somewhat predictable but not enough to spoil the film nor the ending. With a plot from Dan Gordon (Wyatt Earp, Murder in the First, the Hurricane, Highlander, Tank and others) you've got a good script to start and good directing from Kevin Sorbo. Throw in a good cast that loves to work and bring magic to the audience and you've got a good film. It's a film that works.

    Awesome group of crew and actors

    Really enjoyed working as Kevin's stand in as well as meeting the whole Sorbo family! What a true success/American dream story in Kevin and Sam Sorbo! They are Actors that we can truly look up to.... and to have the kids on set working along side was a true blessing.

    The whole experience was excellent, the interdepartmental cooperation, sense of family spirit, good clean comedy, both in front of and behind the camera.

    Being on set with my wife Tree as volunteer kitten wrangler was also very fun, but our intense long work days must have made the on film product that much better. We were also protected from storms on set with so many prayers shared on this film.

    I understand it wasn't a big budget film, but the team that came together were brilliant and professional all around. Would love to do it all again!

    Super fun movie!

    What a great movie! It's a true story, which is unbelievable otherwise.

    Great actors! You have to watch this movie with your family. It's funny, wholesome, and generally entertaining.

    John Ratzenberger is a funny man. I worked with him on a movie once. He's a hilarious entertainer.

    You can watch this movie with the whole family. It will make you laugh out loud, feel bad for the characters, and learn some pretty recent history.

    I'm not sure why the film has been trolled so bad before it's theatrical release. It's a great flick that deserves a watch. It should be viewed by millions! Please share.

    terrible acting

    Had the misfortune to see this "movie". Kevin Sorbo has to be the absolute worst actor on the face of the earth. I could go on and on about how terrible his acting was, but I'll reserve it for your own opinion. The story lacked content, not well written and quite boring. Just another story about a dried-up swindler who is looking to rejuvenate himself, like Sorbo's acting career.. The gist of the story is that two con men try to convince a group of widows to invest in worthless oil wells during the Great Depression. Don't like the story line, didn't care for the movie. At all. 15 more charactlers...
