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.

I love the movies that Kelly's Filmworks releases. They are wholesome films that you can let your entire family see. This movie was so funny, I laughed through most of it. Jefferson Moore and Christina Karis work so well together. And the supporting cast members were just as amazing; the studio players who have been in other productions of KFW's, as well as actors that I haven't seen before. The entire ensemble cast made for a very enjoyable movie. Even the restored truck that was used for the majority of the film fit in so well with the entire theme. All that, along with the great music, made this one of the best films that I've seen. I hope that everyone takes the opportunity to watch this wonderful film, and also sees the other movies from this amazing film company.

Wow O Wow! What a great movie! I laughed so hard, I cried--and that was only the beginning first five minutes.Who The writing of this movie is incredible, the acting fabulous, and the comedy outstanding. I loved every creative moment. This takes the place of my first place movie, replacing "While you were sleeping" with Sandra Bullock. One of those movies that makes you think the rest of the afternoon and puts a smile on your face. I will definitely be purchasing for my DVD library in the future and several for friends birthdays. Highly recommended for a good "date" night movie or single females getting together for a "laugh" night.
Pieces Of Easter has high powered, highflying business executive Christina Karis
doing her best to fulfill a commitment to be with her family at Easter time. But
it's a thousand miles away and whatever can go wrong does go wrong in the
tradition of Mr. Murphy.
With not even a working cell phone Karis calls on hermit farmer Jefferson Moore and offers him $1000.00 to get her home. It takes that much of an inducement because Moore just doesn't leave his small farm unless he absolutely has to.
Most of the film's running time is spent with Moore and Karis who come from two different worlds. But the two of them kind of grow on each other.
It's a Christian not overly preachy and suitable for more than church basement audiences.

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!

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.

.... Unfortunately, for some unexplainable reason the main female character in this picture was so annoying that it started to irritate too much to finish watching it. There is an excellent movie about two unagreeable people traveling across the USA. That movie is 'Rain Man' with Tom Cruise and .Dustin Hoffman.
Otherwise this could have been charming. I usually like offbeat and a little bit clumsy indy adaptations, and it is such a shame that the director and producer and editor, etc did not pay attention to one simple fact, that it is unpleasant to watch unpleasant person act like a self-centered jerk.

PIECES of EASTER is a heartwarming, family-friendly film produced by Kelly's Filmworks. This movie is so appropriate to have been released around the Easter season. Jefferson Moore (The Perfect Gift, Another Perfect Stranger) shifts from his portrayal of Jesus to become Lincoln, a rugged "hermit" (as characterized by Alza Reese, played by newcomer Christina Karis).
When Alza's car breaks down in a VERY small backwoods town, she reluctantly hires Lincoln to drive her to her family's Easter reunion some three days away. The interactions and situations which follow are hilarious, thought-provoking and uplifting. Christina Karis is fantastic in her debut film and Jefferson Moore, always a solid lead actor, capitalizes on his resemblance this time to---sorry, you'll just have to watch the film. I enjoyed PIECES of EASTER and I know you will too!

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.

My mom suggested that we watch this together. I found it to be surprisingly funny but not cheesy, and it had a great message!

I rarely write reviews, but just had to for this side-splitting, funny movie. I had never heard of it before, but decided to watch it on a lazy, rainy Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised on how funny it was, and how the two main characters meshed well with each other. I was feeling sad when I started watching this, but at least it made me laugh. It's rare to find a Hollywood movie without sex, profanity and violence.
