Christian comedy Road to Redemption has a lot going for it, including a cute concept, sharp comic direction, and a winning cast bound to give the film crossover appeal to secular audiences. A financially strapped couple, Amanda (Julie Condra) and Alan (Jay Underwood), "borrow" $250,000 from Amanda's mobster boss, Santoro (Leo Rossi), and bet it all on a racehorse that doesn't come through. Terrified of Santoro's wrath, Amanda goes in search of her wealthy grandfather, Nathan (Pat Hingle), who is in ill health but agrees to give her the money if she'll go fishing with him in Montana--more than a thousand miles away. Meanwhile, Alan is forced by Santoro to accompany an enforcer, Vincent (Tony Longo), and a tracker (Wes Studi) to catch up with Amanda and get the cash. The latter situation yields a lot of laughs, especially through feckless Alan's unlikely friendship with Vincent, with whom he bonds over eight-track recordings of David Cassidy's greatest hits. Amanda and Nathan are also funny together but have many poignant experiences as well, including Nathan's gentle explanations about the comfort he takes in his relationship with God. Writer-director Robert Vernon makes it all crackling entertainment with a real heart. --Tom Keogh

 road to redemption April 24, 2009
T. A. Collins-Niemeyer
this movie is billed as funny, I disagree, it is a more serious drama with a little humor- very little. But it is worth watching
 Fantastic film! February 16, 2009

I wasn't sure what to expect with this film because so many Christian films have such second-rate scripting and acting. But this film was terrific! The story is really cute, the script is well written, the acting is good, and there was enough humor and action to keep my 10- and 11-year old boys (who often think they're too cool for this kind of film) interested and laughing the whole time. They loved it! I wish Hollywood could see that you don't have to fill a film with bad language and crude humor for it to be a great movie! I'd recommend this film for any family.
 Overrated by Amazon reviewers January 20, 2009
H. Owsley (Brazil, South America)
I bought this DVD based soley on the positive reviews I read here at Amazon.com. I'm always looking for good family entertainment and this sounded like a winner, but we were sadly disappointed with this movie. The acting was poor (except for the main character who is a veteran of film and TV) and the script way below average. All of my family walked out on this one; I stayed with it till the end and lo and behold the last 5 minutes were the best part of the movie. Finally the dialogue and people stopped being too cute and too forced and became "real". I've seen much better Billy Graham films than this one.
Funny and heart tugging December 13, 2008
Thomas Anders (Asheville, NC)
