One of my all time favorites.
... View MoreAbsolutely the worst movie.
... View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
... View MoreActress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
... View MorePretty good plot to start with but I became quickly disappointed when the writer or writers went way overboard which is sometimes typical in these type of movies. They suddenly ended up portraying Christianity as some sorta cult. If the intent was to introduce an possibly convert others to their beliefs I think they may have only succeeded in losing a few.
... View MoreAmong the previous reviewers of No Greater Love there must not have been any classic movie fans. If so they would have immediately recognized the plot My Favorite Wife here. The only difference is that in the period of separation of wife Danielle Bisutti instead of her spending time with someone like Randolph Scott on a desert island Bisutti descends into the depths of degradation before finding religion.Bisutti is the Irene Dunne character and the Cary Grant character is Anthony Tyler Quinn. He's a workaholic husband with little time for wife and kid who grows up to be Aaron Sanders. She's been gone for ten years and he's thinking his son needs a mom. Work associate Alexis Boozer Sterling might fill the bill and he proposes.But in those mysterious ways Sanders finds Bisutti at some church youth group, her act all cleaned up and soon enough Quinn does as well. The problem now is that Quinn is not a believer.Cary Grant and Irene Dunne seemed to work it out without reference to religion. But as this is a Christian film it has to follow certain parameters.Nevertheless this one is not overtly preachy and it's entertaining and I love happy endings.
... View MoreI absolutely loved this movie. I stayed up till 3:00 am to finish watching it. I though the ending was great. This is a great family movie that reminds us how we can all overcome our mistakes and tough times in life by believing in something bigger than ourselves. I wish more movies were like this. A movie with lots of emotion and suspense and unconditional love and kindness. Love that is based on faith, respect, and compassion for one another lasts forever. This movie teaches us that nothing is coincidence and that everything happens for a reason. I could see why an atheist or a non-Christian would not rent this movie. But if they do, they may find that it has meaning to them. That something bigger than ourselves always looks after us no matter what struggles and challenges we endure. Please rent it. It is a bit of a tear jerker at times which is what makes it feel so real.
... View MoreStraight to DVD is usually done for films studios don't think will make it in the theater and so they dump it off (like some of Disney's animated sequels). However, in this case, the strategy was to involve people who already were searching for a good romance story (not the usual sex comedy that gets called a romance story these days) and also people of faith who would like to show it in groups as well as own a copy themselves and used outlets such as people connector websites, etc. to get buzz going and then released it so people could get it via retailers (like Wal- Mart, Target, etc )and online providers (Amazon.com,etc. which had it as number 1 in both family films and Christian films in terms of sales).It's not the typical 'hit you over the head' type 'message' film that we've seen so many of or the ones where the actors could barely pass for low budget TV actors. This was a well thought out and directed story. In the opinion of a friend who repaired film projectors both military and private for a living and thus has also gotten to watch a lot of films, quite possibly the best made film by Christians that even non- believers will see and not be turned off in the first 10 minutes. Give it a watch. I rated it maybe higher than I would just because the early voting (if you can call 15 votes voting) seemed to only be the pessimistic. Those that watched it and enjoyed it have families with kids and have more to do that write reviews for online sites. I hope many will get to it soon so that even more will seek it out.
