Forty-Seven Days with Jesus

Was expecting more from this story honestly, based on the name of it. The plot of this movie I liked. But I feel the story of Easter was downplayed and ruined by making it a musical. I didn't feel any emotional attachment to the characters or Jesus to be honest. The Easter story parts felt hokey and like what was happening wasn't important. The main storyline was realistic and probably goes on a lot in families. I thought they could have done better. Want to see The Ark and the Darkness next week. Hoping it is much better. It will probably decide if I see anymore shows from this company. Time will tell.

This movie was so much fun! The singing and dancing, the costumes, the sets, and of course the acting were all so entertaining. I think this film is a great way to introduce the Gospel to people. It delivers truth and encourages viewers to seek Jesus in their lives. The portrayal of Jesus and his miracles was heartwarming. The Burdon family was lovable, relatable, and real (and hilarious!) Finding a work/life balance is such a difficult thing, and this movie portrayed that issue in a realistic yet hopeful way. Finding parallels between the Gospel and modern day issues showed that the story of Jesus is just as important today as it was 2,000 years ago. This was a wonderful movie!

Wow!!!!!

Run, don't walk and bring the kids and grandkids! What a beautiful family movie! The acting is super solid. The directing was well done and the kids steal the show!!!! We need more movies like this especially now! Such an uplifting message and real life backdrop! Totally relatable! I didn't know what to expect... Loved it and the music/singing was unexpected and such a nice surprise! Such a wonderful way to tell the story LOVE!!!!!! I really enjoyed the "did you know" stuff before the film even started.... I hope this film makes its way into the lives of families across America and beyond...Bravo!

If you love family stories that warm your heart and you love musicals and you love Chrisitan stories, this one is for you. Some people are saying they did not like the musical parts but I think you have to go into it knowing that this is definitely a unique productions. I do wish some would stop comparing it to the Chosen. It has nothing to do with the Chosen other than there are 2 Chosen actors in it.

FORTY-SEVEN DAYS WITH JESUS is a heartwarming Easter tale centered on the Burdon family, led by Joseph and Juliana (Yoshi Barrigas and Catherine Lidstone from THE CHOSEN).

When the Burdons attend a reunion at Poppa and Nonna's ranch, they realize just how disconnected their family has become. Facing marital hiccups, teenaged angst and Poppa's health hurdles, the adults decide to share Poppa's enchanting 'Forty-Seven Days' story with the kids, transporting us back in time to see the miracles of Jesus' final 47 days on Earth.

Found this movie on instagram and saw that they had Yoshi and Catherine from the Chosen. It wasn't until the opening credits did I realize that this IS NOT an Angel studios production. I was a little taken back but was super surprised that there are other independent production companies making good faith based films. The musical portions felt very grounded and I like how it was more serious than Jesus Christ Superstar. My family and I enjoyed it and I especially liked how they jumped back and forth from a real christian family to the Easter story. My kids latched onto the characters and it made it easy to answer all their questions after the movie. It would make a great tool to introduce the Easter story! Happy I got to see this film and I'm excited to see more from this company!
