God's Country

This was a great movie to watch talks about a place away from the city tells about how a person who has a Christian camp and is in debt. And helps us know God is there 24/7. And the owner makes a deal with the investment company for six days and the woman life changes. Has idea to save the camp .

If you're looking for a movie with lots action, complex plot and characters - you will likely be disappointed here.

But, if you're in the mood for a movie that challenges today's self centered money motivated secular values - then you're in luck!

Fans of the beautiful and talented Jenn Gotzon won't be disappointed either. She literally shines in this film. Those who know her won't be surprised by this in the least. (It's almost as if Angels surround her throughout the film.)

Technically, there are some rough edges, but over all Chris Armstrong does a masterful job at helming his wife's star turn. A combination that completely works for both Gotzon and Armstrong here.

Personally, I wished there was more to the script itself to challenge the viewer and some of the casting seems a little awkward, but industry stalwarts Daniel Hugh Kelly, Gib Gerard and Michael Toland all turn in fine performances.

Two more bright spots in the cast are Kevin Brown and Stephanie Barnes.

Barnes seems to carry the spirit of the picture with her on screen and her scenes with Gotzon work especially well and help to beef up some of the necessary story conflict that add so much to a satisfying resolution.

I'm a softy for movies with a lot of heart and I don't mind saying that I kept my hankie busy for the last quarter of the film.

This family friendly film was a delight. It kept my interest all the way through. It has a good blend of humor and message. The desert was as much a part of the movie as the actors. Jenn Gotzon did a great job portraying an ambitious, money and power hungry broker. The directing by Chris Armstrong was excellent. He was able to take a predictable story and turn it into something that captures your interest throughout the entire movie. He expertly guided the filmography. The scenes of the desert become an integral part of the story. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film. I would highly recommend this movie for a family movie night.

I'll say this for God's Country, it takes a certain amount of chutzpah to make as blatant an anti-feminist film as this one in this day and age. But I get the feeling that Jenn Gotzon wouldn't mind having our current president in the White House if it was for a good cause like spreading the faith.

When we first meet Gotzon she's a hard driving banking and real estate executive who has an assignment from boss Daniel Hugh-Kelly. Get Michael Toland off a piece of property he owns and owes on so that the brothers Yakamoto brothers can build a casino. Who needs the Christian camp that Toland has there now.

I hope a lot of you recognize the plot of You Can't Take It With You because if you've seen the Kaufman&Hart classic than you know exactly how it goes. Her business and banking skills will now go to work for the Lord and she's got a man now in Toland's son Gib Gerard which is as things should be.

Actually in real life how this would have gone is this property would be owned by one of those televangelists and if it needed to be moved his facility would be so moved with a sweet offer that would leave all parties satisfied.

Kaufman&Hart would have much to say here and would say it with far more wit than this film has.

Looking for an uplifting, family-friendly film with a great lesson we can all learn from? Then look no further than God's Country! Director, Chris Armstrong, has truly "Hit it out of the Park" in his film directorial debut here! Chris' eye for capturing true emotion within any given moment is incredible! The locations and cinematography are just amazing and just plain beautiful to look at and enjoy! The entire cast featured are very talented and engaging throughout. Truly, the standout performance for me and our family, was by Jenn Gotzon! She has a strong, incredibly natural and relatable delivery throughout! It is very emotionally rewarding to see her character transition from being a highly self-focused woman to one who then finds the greatest value in putting other's needs before her own. God's Country is a breath of fresh air, reminding us that independent Christian films can be made with superior excellence and they certainly have incredibly inspiring stories to tell. God's Country is a must see film and one that every person should definitely have as a integral part of their personal family collection!
