Strong and Moving!

Perfect cast and a good story

good film but with many flaws

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Do You Believe from the same folks who gave us the God's Not Dead movies and both of those take their model from those secular films, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and most of all Crash. It's Crash with a Christian twist to it. The center character is a street preacher who runs into minister Ted McGinley and asks a simple question, Do You Believe?Meaning are you really believing or just going through the motions? The actions of the various characters whose lives intersect at various points in the film. In the end nearly the entire cast is involved in a multiple vehicle crash on a city bridge. That climax is gripping and well staged.In this cast the two performances that stand out are Madison Pettis as the homeless and pregnant teen taken in by Ted McGinley and Shwayze as a young gangbanger who takes to heart the words of Delroy Lindo.I'm in agreement with the reviewer who said that the characters are a bit too goody goody. That even the bad ones for the most part aren't really that bad. Makes it a bit hard to swallow the plot premises.Still for a Christian film it's not bad entertainment.

Very well done.! Excellent job in developing characters and weaving the plot. This is real life. It is the way life can be. It was very enjoyable as well. I felt the genuineness or authentic nature of each of the characters and situations were woven into an intricate storyline. I would recommend this movie to everyone. Sean Astin did a great job. Lee Majors awash excellent. Bosworth was my favorite character along with Lilly. The pastor and his wife are very good as well. So many different types of people interface in this film. Racism is not an issue. Lower SES is also not an issue. It is a great family movie

I saw this movie without knowing its content, I was so impressed by the story and how the writer, director and the whole cast did a great effort to spread the name of God and Jesus Christ in the hearts of others. It really touched my heart first as a Christian second as a human. I hope that it can do the same to others , it will do that for sure to many people , something that i am sure about. If you are not a believer I am quite sure that you may consider a chance with God, he will surely accept it and if you are a believer this movie will, I hope, spread the faith to your whole life and soul. This movie deserves 10 stars for sure not less.

So do I believe? Yes. Was I skeptical before watching this? Yes. However I was pleasantly surprised! You could say it was "cheesy" if you want and some might say "melodramatic" but I applaud it's message! In a day and time when we see and hear about so much gun violence and are filled with a false sense of reality thanks to people being more concerned with outward appearances than inner values, I believe that we all need more movies like this! As a Christian, I feel that it's unpopular these days to profess one's faith, regardless of what that may be. I honestly believe that those who score this movie so low are people who are afraid of Christianity and perhaps afraid of believing in anything greater than ourselves. Why is it so okay to enjoy such far fetched films like Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings which are fictional but it is not "ok" to hear about God!? Should you compare this to "God is Not Dead"? It's similar in theme but I honestly like it better. If you liked "Heaven is Real" you'll like this too. Regardless of the acting (which I am not critiquing), this movie should be watched with an open mind and heart. One should ask themselves how they are professing their faith and living their lives.
