Hoovey

The biggest flaw is that the movie is totally predictable till last.My question is 'What was this movie made for'?If it's for inspiration we have masterpieces like Theory of Everything.Only difference is that on this movie,the family praises god even if they sneeze.I can't understand why such a movie was made.

It is rare to find a great Christian movie which comes in such a high quality. Even though I am tired of watching another movie about the American Dream and sports, this movie is different. It is strongly based on Christian morals and Bible stories such as the story of Job. It is a drama such as KYRIOS could have written it, of a suffering He sometimes allows, of a beautiful family unity and strength of that family, and of course especially of Hoovey.

PROS

+ Very great actors.

+ Excellent camera and images.

+ Wonderful movie, to simply enjoy and lean back.

NEUTRAL

o The 3 men who helped to pull out the car could have made some people scratch their head, but there is nothing biblically speaking that does disallow for something like that to happen today. The movie is very sound and apart from this scene which scratches the limits of orthodoxy, there is absolutely nothing to object which is very, very rare in a Christian movie. No swearing, no transgressions, no questionable endorsements or doctrine.

CONS

• The movie is a bit too much focused on the family and we do not see characters involving their church members, friends or extended family.

The fact this movie (at this time) is rated less than 6 is misleading. There's only about 1,000 reviews and you can see why they're low by reading the ones who gave it a 1. If you want to see why there's some religion in the movie (and it's not an overwhelming amount of religion like the 1s would have you believe), you can watch the trailer and see why, for a true story, they'd rely on religion.

With that being said, the movie itself I thought was good. It's inspirational and for a book turned movie I thought they did a great job. I've not read the book, but usually when they turn them into movies you feel like something is missing or it goes too fast in parts where it shouldn't. I never got that feeling. Is it a lot like other inspirational movies? Sure. Can it be a little corney at times? Sometimes but not over the top. But overall it was a good movie and if it happened to be on TV when I walked in a room I'd probably sit and watch it again for a bit.

A feel-good story of an athlete overcoming adversity to succeed when it appeared that it might be impossible. Based on a true story, but probably embellished for the purpose of theatrics which, in this case, works to provide the emotional kick wanted by the book on which the story is based.

It's amazing what God can do! It's an uplifting movie that proves no matter what we face in life we can make it through because God is with us every step of the way.
