Faith's Song

While watching Faith's Song it occured to me that what this film was copying was the classic Pollyanna. Sure as I'm sitting at the keyboard writing this review this film channeled the silent classic that Mary Pickford did and the later sound remake that Disney did with Hayley Mills.

Young Hayden Grace McCoy plays the title role and she and her parents are believers. McCoy is happiest when singing and she's got a good voice for contemporary Christian music. But her parents are killed in a car crash and she goes off to live with other relatives. She doesn't have it easy being the new girl and can't understand why she's put through these trials. But Faith's faith sees her through.

McCoy is a good singer, but for the acting in the film, strictly amateur hour. Not just McCoy the whole cast.

I wonder what Hayley Mills would think if she saw this.

If you like movies like where it is such a bad movie it is funny, you'll love this movie. The actors suck. My sister thinks she can do a better job and she doesn't even act. I told her maybe that's not true, but the acting was pretty bad. It was pretty funny how bad they were acting, and you can tell they are trying to do a good job. This is definitely not a movie where they are trying to make a bad movie. They were trying to make a good movie, and the failed miserably. But the worst part is this is supposed to be a about a christian girl who is trying to spread Gods word through song. She doesn't even sing! She is lip singing to some other song. Like no joke, they used at least two different artists, so she sounds totally different every time she sings. It is an absolute joke. Why can't they get someone who can actually sing, not lip sing? Even my 8 year old sister could tell she was lip singing.

Really those are the only things wrong with it. The intended message and story is pretty good, but the acting and editing ruined the movie and made it a mess. So if you want to watch a bad its good movie to watch with your nerdy friends, watch this. But if you want to watch an actual serious religious movie with no laughs but all drama, I would recommend watching something else.

I think this movie is great and I wish there are more movies out like this one in the future. This movie is a great example of a true Christian that relies on god through the good and the bad. Such a positive and uplifting message!!

The message of their movie was good but the acting was atrocious. My high school plays had better acting than this movie.

This movie perfectly displays what it means to "let your light shine". It shares the gospel of Christ & displays the importance of keeping your faith & helping others even when you are going through hard times. Most of the actors being teenagers was a great touch. Its a low budget film so don't expect Hollywood quality but it's still a great movie & well worth watching! Sometimes when Faith is singing you can tell (or at least is seems) that its pre-recorded audio & the acting isn't that of professionals but everyone has to start somewhere & I was still interested in the movie so no big deal! Go see this movie! Keep the Faith & always let your light shine!
