    Great story line, super rendition of the book!

    I truly enjoyed the book by David Gregory and when I heard about the movie I knew I had to see it.

    I was not disappointed. The filmmakers were true to the story line and the thought processes of the author.

    I recommend this film highly to anyone who finds it in a theater near them. As a lower budget film, the film itself is a bit grainy or choppy in parts; however, the story line and the acting make up for anything the filmmakers lacked in budget.

    The interaction between the two main characters was very intense and believable. The few subtle changes from the book to the screen went very well and the finale made the film!

    The Best Movies!

    My daughter wanted me to watch The Perfect Stranger with her. I really didn't feel interested in watching a movie that night, but she insisted and I acquiesced and settled in for a night of real surprise and warmth. I have since seen Another Perfect Stranger. These movies deliver such a strong and true message about God and his plan for us in such a warm way. In this movie, Jefferson Moore presents God's perfect plan as I believe God would have it presented; gently, without pressure, force or gimmicks, and encompassed in love and logic. I now own the movies and offer to lend them to others. I also look forward to seeing them again . . . and again . . .

    A Thought-Provoking Film

    With her young daughter gone for the night on a camping trip, "Nikki Cominsky" (Pamela Brumley) had plans for a "date night" with her husband at a restaurant downtown named "Pipino's". Her plans are dashed however when he tells her that morning that he has tickets for a baseball game with a good friend. This leads to a slight argument with him prior to both of them going to work. However, when she gets to work, she finds a card inviting her to "Pipino's" that evening, and it's signed by "Jesus" (Jefferson Moore). Thinking that her husband is attempting to make amends by using a little humor, she is excited that he has changed his mind. But when she gets to the restaurant, she finds a man at her table who tells her that he is, in fact, Jesus Christ. What follows is a thought-provoking film with both Nikki and Jesus getting in some deep discussions about philosophy, religion and the nature of God. Now, if this sounds boring, I can assure you it isn't as there is quite a bit of humor and both played their parts very well. I especially liked the scene where Nikki asks Jesus to turn the wine back into water. Likewise, I also liked the scene at the end where Jesus was walking away. At any rate, I enjoyed this film and firmly believe that anyone who gives it a chance will appreciate it as well.

    Excellently crafted. Great witnessing tool.

    I think "Perfect Stranger" was very well crafted, with awesome acting, and directing. Jefferson Moore and Shane Sooter proved more than capable of maintaining audience interest in what is mostly a dinner conversation. Moore's portrayal draws the audience in and we really believe he cares deeply for the doubter that he is talking to. I think the movie's impact will be as one of the best witnessing tools since "The Jesus Movie". This movie will be invaluable for those Christians unsure how to answer questions from doubting friends, family, or neighbors. This also should open up some doors for the incredible talents of Jefferson Moore, Kelly Filmworks and Shane Sooter, City on a Hill Productions.

    Cheap propaganda

    It is nothing, but a propaganda of Christianity. Not only does it disrespect other religions, but also fails to answer "why?" other religions are not "the right way". A cheap film for uneducated and narrow-minded masses. It is nothing, but a propaganda of Christianity.
