Sounds like a good movie right? Wrong! It's basically a lifetime movie with the guise of a Bible thumper. Very subpar acting all around from the whole cast. Writing was horrendous. The camerawork even has early punch outs and punch ins, atleast the reflections in the mirrors don't show the crew. The movie is loaded with bible verses especially ones that don't even go along with the plot. I couldn't even tell you a character name from the movie because they were so forgettable. It has the Indiana Jones loophole. If the family didn't show up at all nothing would have changed.

A Mustard Seed

Warning: Spoilers
Four siblings gather for the reading of mom's will. The one that find the deed wins it all. The film turns into a scavenger hunt with the siblings being forced together to get clues heavy loaded with Bible verses. If you didn't know the kingdom of heaven was like a mustard seed, you will after the film. I just hope it is spicy mustard.
The film basically goes no where. It is a feel good family film that might bore your family.

Plot holes

Overall the movie was ok but the ending was rushed. Who was Mr. Greedy? That was never explained. What do the siblings do with the house? It's a bed and breakfast in the end but does one person buy them out or do they all still own it? How does the little sister get out of the trouble she was in when she got home? I like the idea of the movie I just need the holes filled. The siblings talk about how easy kacy had it getting a music start at 18 and it seems like there's something she wants to say there. She says let me explain and the movie never goes back to her anger or why she owes the guy the money.
Bible thumping garbage

Religious Dribble
jfrrnngyz26 June 2022
I watched this only because I thought it might be funny...it wasn't. Very cheesy and full of religious babble. Couldn't even finish watching it. Hollywood really needs to stop adding all these religious components into movies that might have otherwise been good.
temptation to not legitimately review a movie
henryhenryhenry29 January 2024
So Many Factors go into being a Critic .but but one that is Paramount is being able to Divorce Yourself from the subject matter and be objective .but human beings are not objective ,let's face it . And a lot of times just say an actor did a bad job acting just because the critic doesn't agree with the actors political beliefs . And if the makers of the movie have political ideals that are negative ,that energy will spill over onto the audience and the critics . I have yet to see an objective review of a movie quite frankly . I have seen enough of the political experience that I know critics and Movie Makers are like are too affected by it to be truly reliable critics . Based on that, read at your own risk . First of all, these days , there are a thousand versions of the Bible so-called . Many of them are designed to not offend people . So first of all if you're going to make a movie, you're probably being paid just to express your opinion ,so you might as well be honest ,and the respect level just might be raised a little .you should not care what anyone thinks while you're making your movie .your movie is made for whoever it's made for and not for others who do not feel they agree with your politics .there's a movie for everyone . You really can feel that the makers of this movie have political beliefs that Clash what's the idea of Love Thy Neighbor . You feel that's a casting director and the head of the making of this movie would never allow for a certain relationship dynamic between whatever characters these actors played , simply because they hired the actors that they hired . And that hate energy does take away from this movie . A lot of energy except from this movie because of that hate Factor and the incessant need to reinterpret the Bible to appease themselves . The only thing that may draw you to this movie is the box office appeal of the actors , which is why they are photographed on the front of the Marquee . It is quite the traitorous thing to hire actors now you subliminally have a problem with .
Reading this review is far better than watching the movie.

Like virtually every faith-based film, this one is heavy-handed on message, and poorly written. The plot takes four disparate siblings back to their childhood-home to scatter their mother's ashes and learn of their inheritance. But the mother---being the kook that she evidently was---doesn't make it easy. Instead, she designs a bible-based scavenger hunt to force her children to unite while they search for the will. Sound promising? It is---but weak story lines, redundant bible verse, banal language, and slow pacing, bury it.
The film's redemption is delivered in the casting; Jaleel White (Mr. Shepard,) Cameron Kelly (Kasey Stryker,) and Mychala Lee (Emily,) take us from laughter to tears and remind us what it means to be part of a family. It's impossible to watch the dynamic between Kasey, Emily and Rachel---(played by Mena Suvari)---and not recognize our own family ties.
Despite the fatal writing flaws, I give this movie nine stars because of the cast, and because I'm a fan of the genre. Faith-based films are safe for the entire family, and rich in messages that we can all use---especially these days. If only they could include decent writing.

You don't have to watch it
crouton-4933115 June 2023
It was an excellent movie! Sure, some of the camerawork was a little shaky, but overall, pretty well done. The acting was also a plus, showing down to earth family dynamics. There are a couple plot holes, but other than that, the story was interesting and well put together. Four siblings, who haven't seen each other in a bit, meeting up after their mother passed. They have to play one of her games to get their inheritance.
It is a faith-based movie, and they make it very obvious. If you're not into that, that's ok. You don't have to watch it! And you certainly don't need to leave a bad review since this film clearly wasn't meant for you.
