Bu film haqqında

Based on a true story, Father Stu is an unflinchingly honest, funny and uplifting story about finding purpose in a most unexpected place. After surviving a terrible motorcycle accident, Stuart Long (Mark Wahlberg) wonders if he can use his second chance to help others find their way — and leads this former amateur boxer to the surprising realization that he is meant to be a priest. Despite a devastating health crisis and the skepticism of Church officials and his estranged parents (Mel Gibson and Jacki Weaver), Stu pursues his vocation with courage and compassion, inspiring not only those closest to him but countless others along the way.

Really enjoyed this one, was a bit slow but loved every moment. This 8s good enough to even make an u religious person think twice about a supernatural beings. Mark Wahlberg as usual was astounding in performance and dialogues... movie has it's funny moments and some scenes can put a tear in your eye. Highly recommend this one for some perspective.

A very powerful movie. The first that has caused me to laugh while crying. Mark Wahlberg turns in a great performance, as does Mel Gibson but that is no surprise. The actors portraying Father Stu's mother and girlfriend also turn in very solid performances. The only thing I thought lacking in the movie are more scenes of him as a priest. But they wanted to show more his journey. Also, Mark Wahlberg mumbles at times and it's hard to follow the conversation. But it is powerful and real story. B+

It was ok. I like the actors and wanted to like it more. Mel Gibson was too unlikable in it. It would have been much better with a stronger actor like Kathy Bates in the role of the Mother. If it would have been edited better (pacing felt a little slow and it ran a little too long) and had less bad language, I'd have given it four stars.
