Family and faith

This entry from Great American Family channel deals with prayers and how God answers. There is also a romance and a "nanny" story. This is basically the dad-hires-nanny premise even though Steph is hired as their teacher. She lives in the guest house and interacts with the kids past school hours, so tomAto, tomaato.The usual nanny story gag of the kids trying to chase the nanny away has an interesting twist.So what about faith. This is not Hallmark, so the values here are much different. I think this movie was intended to give an example of a faith and family based streaming service so they weren't shy about dealing with it.Harry, the father, is mad at God because God didn't "answer" his prayer to save his wife, at least not how he wanted. There have been other movies dealing with this and I think a much better one in this category was actually on Hallmark, The Gift of Peace, last Christmas. I thought the way this movie dealt with the subject was clumsy. At times they seemed shy about talking about God yet the kids actually pray to Jesus, whose name is almost never heard in movies like this. One thing that was clumsy was that the kids prayed for what they selfishly wanted and it almost seemed like they got it, while their dad's long ago prayer was at least a little unselfish and that outcome didn't happen.The acting was fair. Not bad, but it didn't always seem natural. I liked Ina Barrón. Her enthusiasm created a good impression as far as acting. There might have been some weak moments like her confrontation with Harry at the restaurant. Philip Boyd was horrible in that confrontation and he was stiff through most of the movie.The kids, as is often the case, added fun to the movie. I think this aspect will also appeal to younger audiences.

Learning to accept.

The theme of a single father hiring a nanny, this time a teacher, who, eventually, brings love to or heals the entire family, despite attempts at rejecting her, has been presented in many shades and flavors over the years. This production comes with a different twist in the children's attitude and deeper faith undertones. The theme has been previously developed with more depth and richer emotions in "The nanny express" with Vanessa Marcil, in 2008. Yet, this entrance offers an acceptable plot and provides reasonable, family friendly, entertainment. On the minus side, the acting, particularly by Philip Boyd, appears somewhat stiff, the conflicts a bit shallow, and the romantic interest between the two leads is poorly explained. On the plus side, the main character, Steph, is a very likeable, solar personality, well played by Ina Barron. When it comes to the overt religious expressions and content, I admit I do not find them necessary, probably because I am definitely agnostic. Yet, I do not understand, why, in this and other movies, they cause so much resentment in some of the reviewers. I wonder if those are the same viewers who adore the spirituality and culture presented in movies that deal with Native American, oriental or other exotic traditions. Why are these not as irritating or objectionable?Whatever creed or faith brings people to love, respect and mutual understanding may not need to be embraced, yet it should not detract from appreciating the outcomes.In summary, though a weaker rendition of a tried story, this movie has nothing offensive, it has some merits of its own, and it is worth a look.

With better casting it could have been an 8

This was a cute story and had the potential to be one of my new favorites.I love that Pure Flix movies don't pretend to be something that they aren't. They tell you, boldly, that it's a Christian movie. And then actually bring discipleship into the film. They even use the name of Jesus!The male lead did an excellent job and the two girls that played the daughters did well. Sadly, the female lead, in my opinion, was lacking. I didn't believe her. It's like when your friend is telling you a story and there are parts they make up because they feel bad about how things really went down - you can tell they're acting and it's disingenuous.
