Miracle Maker

This movie is one of the most stilted and awkward movies I have seen.

PROS

+ One quotation of Mat 9:27-29 which comes indeed from the Christian Bible.

+ The movie demonstrates some good values when it comes to family and community.

CONS

• Partly senseless dialogues and much gossip.

• Poor acting.

• Artificial and extremely rudimentary movie sets (mostly filmed in Utah on Mormon movie sets)

• Poor and incoherent script.

The pastor's mother is bedridden for at least months, then suddenly stands up when a chair comes as a present, with her not showing any sign of surprise that she is walking ...

The movie includes an unmarried pastor who is in love with the daughter of someone who owns all buildings and fires him as pastor (no information on which authority), before he finally allows his daughter to marry the pastor. The spontaneous wedding on Christmas evening is orchestrated by the beggar on the street. Less than 5 seconds later we see the mother of 5 giving birth to their daughter who is then presented to everyone at the town plaza during the same Christmas evening celebration ... This movie is a dulling of the mind.

• Although we thankfully do not find any Mormon doctrine, it is clear that this movie is a Mormon production. The director is a member of the Latter-Day-Saints and the endorsements include numerous references to Utah and Mormons.

Found this on YouTube movies...if you like the era of "Little House on the Prairie," you'll love this one! Good morals and love how the little boys actions brought change to their town!

This is a fantasy and Western video made for the Christmas season in 2015. The residents of a small, unnamed prairie town in the old West need to have a miracle worker come to town. The apparent reason is because they all seem to be short on money with which to pay the rent for their homes and businesses. While the film has a nice Christmas season outcome, the plot is quite odd. Does James Booth own the whole town? There have been a number of Western movies made over the years in which a cattle baron or mining company ruled over a town. But never before were the residents and shop owners all renters of those folks.

Beyond that, this film has some holes, problems with continuity, very stagey scenes and some not very professional acting. One scene from outside shows what would be a hamlet - little more than a collection of houses spread around. Then, there's a scene of a town center with shops and buildings all around it. And, it looks so manicured that it can't possible be a disguised stage setting.

It's a stretch to give this even five stars, but I do so in the spirit of the Christmas season just ended, when I watched the DVD of this film.

This movie is what Christmas movies are supposed to be. Sweet, sentimental, and about forgiveness. In other words, a good Christian movie 🎥 without shoving anything down your throat. Too many movies nowadays are geared towards pleasing special interests. That's why my family tunes out more and more...

The little girl did a wonderful job with her role . She was super cute and had my family giggling on more than one occasion. Our make lead was quite handsome as well which didn't hurt my feelings one bit. His acting was spot on.

I also enjoyed the background scenery of the Hamlet. To be honest, I wouldn't mind living there.

I was very pleased with this film. It was not quite what I expected, though it gave so much more. Though the man could have been an Angel, he performed his acts of kindness as if it were second nature to him. He consistantly acted in love of his neighbor as should we all. I would strongly recommend this film for family viewing and even touching up on our own reflective walk of love.
