Average Joe

I am not religious but I am religious about free speech. I am shocked that people are so confident that god does not exist that they would give such terrible reviews that are not fair or accurate. False witnesses beware.

I have learnt my lesson about critics. I almost did not watch this GEM due to hateful and inaccurate reviews. I would never want to mislead somebody and have them miss out on an experience like this.

Maybe Im biased because I just love a true story and I have been invested in human rights battles myself.

All in all a great watch. Had me captivated in the first 5 and kept me the whole way.

Anyone giving less than 5 stars has some personal issue and does not reflect the quality of this movie.

I say I am noyt religious and I am not, however I have seen some miracles and I believe in God more than I believe you hateful critics.

I have never made a review before, but when I saw how low this scored, I felt... compelled by some greater force to chime in.

As a grown man, this movie made my eyes water several times, and laugh quite a bit. The comedy is dad joke tier, but in the best way. It addresses family dynamics many raised by boomers will identify with. The ending was very satisfying and informative.

It isn't a big budget Hollywood movie, and in this day and age, that's exactly what is needed. The acting was solid and the storytelling was unique. The main characters break the 3rd wall a lot, which I understand, may be frowned upon by the "fine arts" snobs. This makes the movie very light hearted though, especially in parts with heavy subject matter.

Great movie to watch with the family on a relaxing Sunday!

I'm giving this movie a 10 simply because right now it's at a 3.3, and it doesn't deserve that low of a rating. Though I'm a Christian, I will usually avoid these types of movies because they are always unrealistic and horribly acted. Honestly, for a medium budget faith based movie, it's about a 6.5. Joe's young life was filled with abuse, and I felt the movie did a decent job of portraying that without going overboard. I'm sure it was much worse. This is a true story dealing with the hot-button issue of freedom of religion. That's the way I see it anyway. I'm guessing most non-Christians will not like it, but I thought it was well acted, above average, and it's an incredible story of fighting for faith and freedom. I would highly recommend to people who appreciate these values.

Great story! Why do people hate just because they don't agree with you? The rating scale of 1's vs 10's is quite telling. Each time I see such an extremely difference of opinions, I'm curious. Seems odd, right? Are there ratings feelings or true movie reviews??

The movie was NOT a one star. I've seen plenty of one star movies- this isn't it. Good acting and Good story.

I seriously wish the reviews did not need to be so lengthy. We read them and get what we need without 1,000,000 words

All true stories turned into movies have some fluff. If you or anyone you care about was in the military this movie makes sense. It's worth the 90 mins for sure. Haters gonna hate.

Having recently been put through the trauma of directors with passion projects like Joker 2 (what a mess, not a musical, not a drama, not a copy like the first and although well acted not a chance of any real emotion, never in my life have a cared less about a stabbing) and as for, and the Matromess with its waste of good talent.

I had the opportunity to watch this grounded, beautiful story of God using a seemingly ordinary person as he does to make real, meaningful changes to other people's lives, the fascist left has been all over this instead of hearing they have preconceived hateful things to say where they should have seen and been moved by someone fighting for everyone to have the right to worship in public they only want to stop and wave their sin in other peoples faces as a right but don't like it when someone chooses not to do the same. I pray for them and hope they can see the error of their ways, decide not to continue along the path of eternal destruction.
