Synopsis

When five strangers with nothing in common come together at a remote roadside eatery, they place their orders with the diner's omniscient owner, who seems to know everything about them ... and is eerily reminiscent of Jesus Christ.

Veronica Tolbert The first time that I'd watch this movie was after midnight one night, I had to get up early the next morning to go to work,but, I couldn't turn the movie off,it was so interesting that I had to watch it to the very end, needless to say the following Sunday I couldn't wait to recommend it to my minister, and a few other people as well as posted it on my Facebook page. The reason why I'd summarized this movie as a refresher is because, we as Christians should be reminded that we are still sinners and need to be reminded that we still have a Savior who forgives us for our sins. We are tempted everyday and even the most strongest in faith fall down sometimes, but, we get up with the strength of our dear Savior. Amen.
toni-tomei **Possible Spoiler Alert** Some reviews say this movie stinks... that the characters are flat, etc. However, what I think is that this movie is like an "Unplugged" album in music. It is stripped down intentionally to get the message to the viewer.I think it is really FUNNY how many negative - I mean RABID REVIEWERS - have submitted their tantrums in lieu of a review of this movie. What the movie is about is disclosed in the movie description. GROW UP - Jesus still loves you no matter what you say about him.They are like the real-life Officer Deville from the movie. Trying to keep others away from the simple, family friendly message shared in this movie.I personally loved this movie. Quiet, simple, and straightforward. Love Marchiano's performance.
ivan2012 This is a decent Christian film based around a lot of dialogue in a small diner. It discusses certain aspects of Protestant Christianity like how salvation is a free gift, but it doesn't cover everything. It's a solid film to show at an evangelistic meeting or something like that. Because the film is based on dialogue with little action, it can be a bit boring at times. I think I closed my eyes and almost fell asleep for a couple minutes near the end. I guess I prefer a movie like Left Behind more.I had modest expectations, but I thought the acting was surprisingly solid. I didn't realize the football guy was played by the wrestler Sting (Steve Borden) until after I watched it. Apparently, he is a Christian.
sepsep3 I feel terrible that I wasted my time to start watching the movie because the rating was very high. Apparently, a bunch of super Christians rate this movie super high only because of the simplistic biblical content. But even if you don't care about the message of this movie, then every single piece of this movie is an insult to cinema. Actors are horrible, sound effect/soundtracks are very annoying, sound even changes suddenly through a single dialogue, and so on. It would be only acceptable as an introduction to cinema class project. I feel stupid for not reading what the movie is about before watching it only because the ratings were high! So bottom line, if you want to brainwash a kid with Christian propaganda or you go to church every Sunday and rate yourself higher than 9/10 on believer/non-believer spectrum, then have fun but for GOD's sake don't rate this movie high.
