Best movie of this year hands down!

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

As Good As It Gets

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Not a terrible movie. Catching Faith presented a positive message of owning up to your choices in life, even if they are hard. It also taught the lesson of being okay with the life you lead. The issue I had with the movie was in the film making process. There were a huge amount of continuity errors, especially during the football games. Beaus friend is QB the entire game, until 40 seconds left in the championship game and all of the sudden him and Beau just disappear from the field. I get that you shot a lot of B roll but make sure the same number is on the field. Also they show a close up of the centers hand a few times with a glove on and then when they zoom out, he has no glove. Simply attention to detail and maybe a few better actors would have gone miles.

I loved the whole story line of this movie. The moms friend at the first of the movie really made me mad though but she got what she deserved at the end of the movie. I feel the parents did take a little too long to discipline their son for underage drinking but in the end they did the right thing by making him go confess to his coach what he had done. I love how throughout the movie the mom finds herself getting closer and closer back to God and her faith. I found myself thinking how much I have strayed away from my faith and really want to change that. This movie can really move you in your faith and really make you think about some of the people in your life.

I'm not a Christian, but I can understand that a good part of this country is. I think that Christians, however, are doing themselves a disservice with this recent rash of films they've made. Hear me out on this. The filmmakers seem to have one thing in common: none of them have studied film. The cinematography is flat, the editing is filled with jump cuts, and the dialogue seems contrived and unnatural. It seems to me that if the filmmakers would put a little more time into their work they could actually pull off something pretty awesome and a little further reaching. Unfortunately, the films seem to be shot on a shoe-string budget with only the interest of the movie studios making money off of a certain demographic. I'm OK if you're Christian, but you should still have discernibility in your tastes of film. These films are flimsy and don't hold.

I love indie films! "Catching Faith" might be a faith-based spiritual movie, but don't let the catchy title fool you. It has a relevant message for everyone of any faith or belief system. What is most important to you? We are all the same in this world with daily temptations, doubts, and fears that can change your future forever, depending upon your integrity and what you decide to do. The well-written story gives us so many compelling examples of choices we all face and the consequences of our actions. Without throwing in any spoilers, I empathized and fell in love with this family and their friends as they grew in so many ways.I loved the setting of this movie because it was shot in northwestern Wisconsin, showcasing the small-town beauty of not only the communities that make up the "Chippewa Valley" area, but also the lovely people. It is amazing to learn of so many talented locals being used in this professional production, and then seeing every single person listed in the credits! "Catching Faith" is a feel-good family movie shot in what I consider a gorgeous all-American setting. I hope this indie movie gets a wide release, as it has a wide appeal!
