Father Stu

"I now have a little more respect for Mark Wahlberg as an actor after seeing his performance in this movie. Based on the true story of Stuart Long who turned his life around and found God, but stayed true to who he was while on his journey. Wahlberg actually gained a bunch of weight for the role to play a character that would eventually be wheelchair bound after being diagnosed with a rare degenerative muscle disease. The story is inspirational and tragic at the same time. Mel Gibson also gives an excellent performance as his alcoholic father. Although I enjoyed it, it may not appeal to everyone. 8/10"

"Mark Whalberg did an amazing job in this movie."

"Inspirational story of forgiveness and the idea that it’s never too late. Starts super slow but gets progressively better. Still not much more that a made for TV movie, but it has its moments and payoffs. "

"I thought this movie is phenomenal and Mark Wahlberg acting was mind Blowing"

"Inspirational is an understatement. Religion is an easy target but what if a man’s faith is sincere and tested beyond what he should be able to endure."

"absolutely terrible, actively makes the idea of faith disgusting. as a new believer this is the worst christian media I have ever watched. shallow hypocritical characters like wrapping the characters of shameless with a christian message. "

"9.5/10 This movie was amazing. So real and not sugar coated at all. Represented Catholicism amazingly. I shed many tears while watching this and laughed a lot as well. So touching and inspiring."

"Amazing acting by Mark! I thought the movie was great very emotional and had some funny lines. "

"It’s an inspiring an beautiful story. Matt wahlberg did an amazing job but the movie was boring, super slow "

"This movie got me to cry almost from beginning to end. I suffer from a chronic illness, and have wrestled with my faith in the face of this depressing end on my horizon. My heart broke into pieces as I felt raw emotions I'm so used to pushing down. I saw this when it was in theaters, and it's taken me quite a while to write a review because of the intense feeling I experience just thinking about it. Prepare to cry! #tearjerkers #heartbreaking #bittersweet #chronicillness #religion_and_spirituality "
