A washed-up former child star, forced to do community service at a local megachurch, pretends to be Christian to land the part of Jesus in their annual Passion Play, only to discover that the most important role of his life is far from Hollywood.
I will admit that often movies in the Christian genre are cheesy, outdated, heavy, and, honestly, a bit embarrassing for the Christian community. I was delighted to see that The Resurrection of Gavin Stone has broken the previous mold. I appreciate that there are characters designed to basically poke fun of the Christian stereotypes. Most people outside of our community think we are lame. This movie in my opinion addresses those stereotypes directly in a lighthearted way in a broader communication to showcase the acceptance and welcoming community that a church can be. Not everyone has that experience at a church every time, but to showcase the example of what it should and could look like is was wonderfully done. The skepticism and acceptance of people brought on both sides of Christian characters and non- Christian characters is right on. Altogether, this is entertaining, an excellent story of finding one's way in life experiencing the life changing message of the gospel, and ultimate acceptance of who people are and where they are in life. Invite people to see this inspiring movie.
