Featured reviews
An Australian music promoter goes belly up after investing in a massive tour. With all possibilities exhausted, he moves his family to Nashville, hoping to start over. With the support of his wife and kids, they get to work surviving in their new home. Doing what he does best, he invests in his daughter and sets out to make her dream of a music career a reality.
This is the true story of how the Smallbones migrated from Australia to America and achieved their dreams of becoming musical sensations. The movie is heavy on Christianity and religion, but the hero is dependent on the viewer. The movie shifts its focus from religion to family, struggle, and the music industry. This movie is definitely for the Christian fan base, but anyone can enjoy it.

Please get out and support this film UNSUNG HERO - we need JESUS at the theaters. The incredible Smallbone family is about incredible faith in God. Our church supports this film.
Another must-see movie is 'THE FIRING SQUAD' coming out I think August 2.
Both of these films are incredible and we must do all we can to bring unsaved people to the theaters if they won't go to church. The Apostle Paul says, "I become all things to all men to win some to Christ" 1 Corinth 9:22.
The Great Commission is not The Great Suggestion. Telling people about a Savior is the greatest thing you can do in this lifetime
Our country needs Jesus more than ever. Please support these films.

I loved it. This is a powerful film about family, faith, and miracles. It made me laugh and cry. This movie is a perfect example on how we should be leading our familys. Not only that, but to teach children what it means to stay together as a family, and to pray as a family no Matter the circumstances. They did a wonderful job with this film. It's a wonderful story about one famly's journey from Australia to the U. S. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. You won't regret it. It is kid friendly. If you like movies with family, faith, miracles, and music, then this movie is for you.
Christian movies can be predictable. Of course so are Road-Runner cartoons, and I thought those were great. "Unsung Hero" is a family story that is both unusual and typical; in that this is a family with lots of children for an audience probably only having one or two; following success and tragedy, the family is forced to move but don't just cross town, instead head out to a different country; and while upheaval surrounds, the mom of this story is also pregnant with their newest member.
How many dads would provide by leaving the family, seeking opportunities and sending money back. This mom will not allow her family to be broken apart. So we are invited to witness a dad who has lost his footing and maybe their entire future; we see the hearts of the children, doing what they can; and of course the aches and tears of mom.
There really are no epiphanies here, however to those who have seen many full-moons in their lifetime, there may well be the too familiar failure of putting food back at the grocer checkout, no longer having furniture, or battling ones own ego at simple invitations of neighbours living life better, or learning how to gratefully accept help from others.
If you're a dad who has pulled your child from social program because you can't get $60 to keep her in, or a grandparent sharing all that you can, only to have it all fall on deaf ears, or watched God provide something that never should have arrived at just the right the time, this may well be a movie that grants you a smile and a laugh and a tear.
Most people will learn little from this movie, beyond families are paramount, and God is good. Life unfolded well for this family and they have made significant impacts on the lives of many people. I believe all the faithful have that same opportunity to have a positive impact on those around them. That is worth remembering, and that makes this movie a good usage of 2 hours and worthy of supporting.

I'm not one to cry in movies but I cried like a baby in this film. For King & Country is one of my favorite bands and they have talked so much about their story during their concerts but to see their story brought to life on the big screen is so inspiring. The hardship they went through after moving to the states was so sad. Joel Smallbone (for King & Country's frontman) co-directed and starred in the film. He is a good actor. It is truly amazing to see that no matter what was thrown at the family, nothing was able to separate them. I don't want to write much more without spoiling the film but I highly recommend the film. It's an incredible story of success, hardship but more importantly how despite all the challenges their faith stood strong and didn't deteriorate due the challenges they faced.
