I really enjoyed the first 45 minutes or so. Very light and fun and interesting. Then it was less enjoyable until the last 15 minutes or so, where it found itself again.

This is a good movie. I was surprised. Religious bigots won't like it at all but most others will. Kelsey Grammer is surprisingly good and the story is surprising and good. We say "get some popcorn and watch this movie, you'll like its message."

Better than I expected. The cast did a good job. The pacing was a bit off at times, but overall enjoyable.

This was an interesting movie about religion. It made me feel like being a better Christian. I also learned about hippies and culture in the 70s. Some people criticized hippies. But as long as they are good Christians, I think they are okay.This was an interesting movie about religion. It made me feel like being a better Christian.

Very well done. Character development, love story, period piece puts you right into the mid-60's. Definitely made for a mainstream audience so everyone will love, not just Christians.

I saw this movie on Friday and I absolutely loved this film. I cannot recommend it enough and I would encourage anyone to go see it, regardless of your beliefs.

The Jesus Revolution" was a funny and inspiring history-based, true-story about a time, not-so-long-ago, in American's history. If you don't go because it is faith-based, you will be missing out!

Very well done. Worth going to see. Nice to have a film based on true occurrences that had a positive impact during that time and long term effect on the people who lived it in a life changing way.

An emotional and well-produced look back at the Jesus Movement in southern California from around 1968-72 and centered around the hippie culture at Calvary Chapel/Costa Mesa.

Truly powerful. An unseen hero in the movie has got to be the editing, which worked well to tell a moving story.

One of the better faith-based movies I’ve seen, obviously a great soundtrack. Lags a bit in the back, but an effective film for the choir that want to watch.

A half-truth is a half-lie, and it's the case with this movie. The April 8, 1966 cover of "Time" magazine claimed, with a catchy headline ("Is God Dead?") and with unacceptable simplifications, of being more farsighted than Nietzsche, who was included among the founders of the "Death of God theology". Nothing could be further from the truth: the philosopher from Röcken was perfectly aware of the anthropological intranscendability of the "homo spiritualis", therefore, after destroying the Christian God starting with the aphorism 125 of "The Gay Science", he hastened to replace him with Zoroastrianism. The same with the Weberian "disenchantment of the world" ("Entzauberung der Welt", 1919), always referring to Christianity and Northern Europe even if instead understood Eurocentrically as theism and the entire West. The debate over secularization and secularism between Löwith, Blumenberg, and Pannenberg added to the confusion. The only certainty was that a process of de-Christianization was underway: churches increasingly empty and fewer and fewer baptized, practicing, vocations. On 12 January '59 ("Acta Apostolicae Sedis" 51, p. 832) and then Christmas of '61 (apostolic constitution "Humanae Salutis"), John XIII prayed that a "new Pentecost" would be poured out on the convened Second Vatican Council, whose first session was held on 11 October '62. No one can guarantee that the papal invocation had an effect, but it is certain that a "second Pentecost" really took place, both among evangelical Pentecostals with a spiritual awakening and among Catholics with events that have gone down in history such as the birth of the charismatic movement in February '67 in Duquesne. The Erwin brothers are an offshoot of the Kendrick brothers (the younger brother Jon served as their second unit director) and suggest that they want to tell, with a somewhat documentary fiction, the "neo-Pentecostal third wave", that is, what always "Time" on its June 21, 1971 cover defined "The Jesus Revolution". Also this time the magazine was simplistic in its title and articles: from the initial generic euphoria ("Jesus Christ is still alive among us as two thousand years ago in Palestine"), ever more precise and accurate expectations developed. According to the estimates of the sociologists of religion, over 600 million Christians returned to being practicing because by the year 2000 they expected the transition from the "slain Lamb" (the Crucifix) to the "the Lion of the tribe of Judah" (the glorious parousia). When the turn of the millennium arrived without the hoped-for Advent, both movements disappeared due to the disappointment and today it is a challenge to find someone who persists in hoping: the process of de-Christianization is more advanced than ever. Anyway, this does not interest the Erwin brothers who, on the contrary, try to make believe exactly the opposite.… Expand

I'm secular and regardless of some of the themes presented in this movie, it's an uplifting experience in a time of division and brings people together with old ideas with this refreshing entry. Narratively I would put this lower than most since the Kelsey Grammar role gets sidelined for the Hippies' stories which is kinda hit or miss. However, the message is good for folks who wanna feel good regardless of belief's and kinda shows how Good Religion can be for the lost masses.… Expand

A really good movie that kept me entertained through the entire experience. The acting could have been a little bit better in areas, but overall a very good movie.
