Stand Strong Trailers

The Webster Family enjoyed the good life of weekend shopping sprees, nice cars and a beautiful home. Matt Webster was respected by his peers and envied as the man who had it all. But when hard times came, having it all on the outside did not mean there is anything on the inside. Broken relationships, isolation and pain are the result of their misplaced priorities, selfishness and pride. In their chaos the Webster family will soon discover the American dream and pride of ownership does not build character. It took a financial crisis to show Matt that all things work together for good… to those who Stand Strong in Faith.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Even without the Christian trimmings about living within your means, Stand Strong is an interesting situation about a family who had been putting material possessions and acquiring them to keep up with the Jones.Chris Steele and Alison Trouse are a pair who've just overextended themselves and now they're in debt. Business reversals have led to him being laid off, house and car being repossessed, the family fortunately has in Jon Mckenzie a brother to Steele who takes the whole group in.McKenzie is a financial planner, but he's also a Christian and we keep hearing words about God having the right idea. We do get some biblical quotes and by giving some rather secular advice McKenzie gets Platt on the road to recovery.The Christian part comes when their youngest Nathan Dobbin is nearly killed in a climbing accident. That will make anyone reexamine what's important in this world.It seems to me we're talking about two separate things. Materialism and the worship of possessions you can't take with you. One does not have to be a fundamentalist Christian to appreciate that perspective. The second thing is that good financial planning is not a spiritual concept. The film rather falsely says the two are linked and I say, not necessarily.Good for church audiences, The world outside will not necessarily see the connections Stand Strong tries to make.

I watched Stand Strong on TV.It was really entertaining and held my attention.I did not find it boring at all.And feel the actor did a good job at portraying real life experiences and struggles, experienced by every day families.It has great values & does not include violence, or murder.I absolutely loved it and wanted to watch it again.I rate it R and give it a 7 1/2 - 8.A really great movie.Well worth the time to watch! I am sad that it is not available to down load, so I can watch it again.If you want a movie with great values.I recommend this movie.It is a really good family movie.A must see.
