Small Group

This film did a good job of staying away from the over dramatized cliche of Christian films while still showing the important aspects of life that becoming a believer has. would watch again, Go See It

Small group is by far one of the best movies that I have seen in a long time! It is the "whole package", with a lot of laughter, some tears, and a huge message. Go see it, you will not be disappointed!

If you want to laugh .. watch it. If you want to cry.. watch it. But if you really want to get to know real christians they are just as they play in this movie, simply imperfect humans longing to be better every day. I love it!

Matt Chastain's film about a reporter who goes "undercover" to expose the true nature of church is incredibly funny - and poignantly shows how church can get it right. Fully aware of all the ways church can get it wrong, Chastain's script delivers in ways that people who've been in small groups will chuckle knowingly and people who haven't will realize what they've been missing all along. In the end, having entertained us, Chastain will also leave us mulling over what it means to be a person of faith - or even a person who wants to leave an impact on the world. Now, we have to sit back and wait to see what he's going to challenge us with next.

I won't even lie, I was concerned going in because it is a faith based film and well--no one likes getting preached at. But this movie takes a different approach and is all the better for it. Rather than berating the viewer with bible verses and kitschy morals, this movie focuses on telling a good story that just so happens to contain a few morals along the way.

This film not only captured the nuance of real life in a way that no other faith based film I've seen has before, but was also willing to take risks with the writing and directing which make it far more accessible to a secular audience.

Small group has something for everyone including a story that is actually interesting, characters you can actually empathize with, and jokes that are actually funny. And while it may or may not have you wondering if you should start going to church again, it's definitely worth the watch.
