Movie Review - Brother White

Brother White is a light hearted comedy about a children's pastor who is keeps making mistakes and is reassigned to a struggling sister church. While he is delighted, not all of his family is due to the questionable location of the building. To make matters worse, a banker is trying to foreclose on the property.

This movie is delightful and full of touching moments. Not to mention an absolutely wonderful concert at the end. This film is upbeat, positive and recommended for family viewing.

Out of five stars, this film rates a three and half.

'Why Not Question' : Movie Review - 'The Grace Card'

A horrible accident claims the life child. It is carried around by the family for years. The wife, finally tired of the mess, goes to counseling for help. In the mean time, her husband's partner is a part-time pastor with a family who would love to be n the ministry full-time but their poor church doesn't pay a high enough salary to allow it. Their situations thrown together with a series of robberies, provides a powerful background for the story. This film has strong characters and touching circumstances to reach all audiences. Disappointing is the small part 'the Grace Card' actually plays since it is not even introduced until halfway through the story and then disappears pretty much until the emotional ending. It is well written and few could not identify with any of the characters caught up in their problems and day to day disappointing lives. Still, God's hand in during these dire straights is clearly shown. On a scale from 1, the lowest to 5 the highest, this film earns a 3.5.

'Why Not Question" : Movie Review - 'WWJD What would Jesus do?'

'WWJD What would Jesus do?' focuses in on a church and town that is fading. Faith is low and the leadership of the town would do anything, including demolishing the church to put in a casino to save their town. Enter a drifter whose challenging words seem to impact the community who no one would help or give him a job. Although this film is a bestseller and has a stellar cast, the plot line is somewhat disappointing and the dropped angle of drifter's involvement half way through the story lessons the impact of the final outcome. 'WWJD' is however, a lovely family film and has some great music and poignant moments. Recommended but only earns a rating of 2.5 on a scale from 1 to 5.
