Faith Like Potatoes

American Eagle · Post by **American Eagle** » Sat Oct 10, 2009 12:08 am

Wow. All I can say is, wow. I'm wowed at God. How awesome He is!

I just finished watching Faith Like Potatoes. This movie is incredible, beyond words. I laughed, I cried, and I want to stand up and cheer. The accident scene was so powerful; I had my hands over my mouth for several minutes. But they didn't just have a graphic scene for nothing. A man was saved by it! Praise God! (In the film, of course.)

This gave such an awesome representation of the power of God! I want to clap and cheer for it. The characters were perfect, and it's just all awesome. I fully recommend it (some ungodly contest, however; read Dove's review). This is by far my favorite Christian film, and certainly in my top 5 movies of all-time.

Any opinions on this movie? Has anyone else seen it?

My family and I loved that movie! My mom loved it so much that we got it for her birthday!

It is a really awesome movie.

I don't think I can watch it... the review page lists that it contains nudity.

Yeah... there isn't. Dove just put that because it has shirtless men. Top, you can withstand a guy without a shirt...

You should watch the movie.

But a woman wears a tank top.

And a married couple kiss.

I'm sorry to have polluted your adult minds, guys.

But really, those aren't sensual scenes at all. The husband and wife kiss good-bye, and the man doesn't have a shirt on because he works in the blazing heat all day (although 95% of the time he is still wearing a shirt). I can't remember the wife wearing a tank-top, but all the scenes are very brief and I wouldn't worry about it.

Now that I've proven your joke wrong, go watch the movie! $\:D/$

There are eight counts of using a profanity AND a man yelling at other men and you tell us to watch this sort of thing?

I expected better from you.

And the topless men, even while working, isn't exactly good. :\

Not to mention the woman in her tank-top. I could never let my brothers see that

Ooh boy... alright, don't watch it. Better yet, watch it with ClearPlay. $\:D/$

ClearPlay would probably edit out the healing scene.

ClearPlay would probably edit out the healing scene.

And especially the accident scene.

Yeah, that and you winking, really makes for some family UNFRIENDLY scenes. And the scene where the Pastor mentions David. Hm. Maybe that's what Dove meant: "Contains references to grown men dancing in their underwear.

Such an awesome quote you had to say it twice.

But yeah... that was a little weird.

Nope, I've already seen it- and without ClearPlay because ClearPlay doesn't have a filter for it $\:D/$ .. and even if it did, i wouldn't watch it with ClearPlay. So.

Did you like the movie, I&L? What did you think of it?

It was pretty good. An excellent example of what the Lord can do.

I won't comment on the movie, acting, cinematography, etc... It wasn't the main point of the movie, after all. The message was good, so I don't really care about the rest.

*thread merged*

Is the movie out if so what is it about and do you like it? I saw the preview for the movie in the bonus features of Fireproof.

I'm pretty sure it was originally released in South America in October 2006, but in the United States in 2009. My brother bought me a copy for Christmas 2009. I created a thread about Faith Like Potatoes around that time, because I loved it! Very few films tear me up, but this movie did so (in two different scenes). It recieved an A+ when I first saw it.

The movie has some drinking, smoking and swearing towards the beginning of the film, and there's a tragic scene. Otherwise, I highly recommend it for everyone.
