Half-decent

Even though it has that direct-to-video stench, I still mildly enjoyed this movie. I was invested in the premise and story. Alan Tudyk gives a good performance. Overall it's not great quality, but it's a serviceable one-time viewing. (1 viewing, 3/19/2022)

Not a comedy!

After hearing some things about the story and, particularly, the ending.. and then watching a trailer and really understanding the premise they created, I was quite intrigued!

How are they going to accomplish THAT!?

Certainly, the focus of the movie was wrong from the beginning.. or my expectations of it were. After watching it, I don't feel like I found a diamond in the rough, but I don't think I wasted my time.

This movie is a simple, yet "cute" story well executed. That it's to say it's not stupid or annoying. It is well constructed with very few wrinkles, and it keeps the tone and quality throughout, which isn't as easy as you'd expect. And more importantly, it is a story mostly driven by the cast and their portrayal of the written characters. The lead Hannah Kasulka is very charming and likeable, Michael McKean leaves a great impression, and Alan Tudyk probably sells you the most important part of it. And you may as well be "warned" that it has a very religious coating to it (in dialogue, music, etc).

I didn't get what I wanted (not even close),but I can't honestly say that this is a bad product. Once your image of the photoplay aligns with what you are watching, it will be easier to accept it.

More than a theater release, this does feel like a "straight to streaming" release.

Mildly evangelic, mildly entertaining con movie

This is a mildly entertaining movie about a brother and a sister who try to pull off the con of their lives, but it also turns out to be a mildly evangelic movie with a mushy ethos.

The con part of the plot is reasonably well written, but in the end, as another review rightly says "anyone who didn't have a parent or parents in their life, I bet you'll tear up". And that's the problem here: the movie is itself a con. And to clear up any doubts, you get a bible quote before the end credits... geezuz...
