Pieces of Easter

This movie is now 12 years old, and it still remains relevant and funny.

Christina Marie Karis is refreshing. She and Jefferson Moore have an awesome chemistry as unwilling travel companions who are simply trying to get from point A to point B. Nothing could be more complicated, actually!

We know that the movie is going to go in a silly direction, since there's a clear humor about Lincoln (J. Moore) and his intense disdain for socializing. Alza (Karis) is brightly clueless - she has so much intelligence, but lacks self-awareness, at least for the first portion of the movie.

We see her go through a lot of disappointments, including dealing with a rat in a random motel room (hi, #1 fear). She also has a knack for seeming self-confident, but soon shows her vulnerable side.

I loved the weaving of humor (deadpan Lincoln staring at Alza while she over-talks) with the litany of everyday hiccups that - all happening at once - could make the most stoic among us turn into ugly-crying messes.

My favorite laugh-out-loud scene is when Alza spots the burglars and sneaks away from Lincoln's truck. Her 'duck walk' in high heels was so random and hysterical. Naturally, the joke is on us, because even in that awkward position, she still looks fantastic.

If you're looking for something to cheer you up, especially when you're feeling that old self-pity monster creeping up, this movie does an excellent job of resetting your mind. It helped remind me that things can always be worse, and even the most trying situation can work a miracle in our life.

I hope that Mr. Moore and his wife will continue to make more movies, or simply do what God moves them to do, for as long as possible. Our world is in crisis and longs for hope.

There is some incredible chemistry and fantastic timing between the leads. Wow! For me they came across so authentically. I didn't have to tell myself to "just enjoy the story" once.

I was honored to have some songs used for this film. I had no idea how my music would be used, and/or how it would fit into the scheme of the movie...well, I was very impressed! The characters are earthy and layered, the scenery and cinematography are top-notch, and of the wonderfully restored Chevrolet pickup was a treat to see. Kristina Karis is immediately endearing, and I think she has a great future ahead of her. It was refreshing to see a movie that breaks many stereotypes, while at the same time lets us enjoy so many others! This is the kind of movie that "stays with you" and your appreciation for the film will actually grow for days after you first see it...and you WILL want to watch it more than once! Thanks, Kelly Filmworks!

Katie carries the movie and does a great job with the physical comedy and dialogue. Strong Christian theme but not too heavy handed. Good positive movie well done.

Loved this movie and many others produced by this production company.

I've had road travels like this where any and everything that could go wrong, did ! So I laughed quite a bit being able to relate to what life can sometimes throw our way.

I'd certainly recommend this movie if someone wanted a clean family comedy that was well done , not cheesy and had plenty of laughs. A great conversation piece on the true meaning of the Easter Holiday.

The actors were perfect for the parts and it's so nice to watch a light hearted but meaningful comedy that didn't have any foul language or graphic scenes.
