Ladies & gentlemen, today, we are going to be reviewing a Christian film that was on Netflix until this past Thursday, for some reason. Hopefully, today’s review can still be found On Demand. Well, today, let’s talk about the most likely lesser known film, Faith, Hope, & Love.
Plot: A widowed father named Jimmy Hope (Robert Kranz) raises two daughters (Aria Walters, and Natasha Burr respectively). Jimmy has lately begun to struggle in his current job, as well as depression from losing his wife nearly two years before. But when an opportunity arises for Jimmy to learn some dancing from a dance instructor named Faith Turley (Peta Murgatroyd), who happens to also be his youngest daughter’s dance instructor, will Jimmy be able to learn to value life much more again, as well as be successful in all areas of his life overall?
Okay, now, if this film had come out in 2020, or shortly after, it would likely be more understandable as to why this film would go straight to Netflix. But since this film came out in 2019, why didn’t Faith, Hope, & Love go to theaters first? Granted, there are times when the story can feel a little cheesy. Overall, however, Faith, Hope, & Love is a really good film. First of all, by the end, you’ll probably have a better understanding as to why this film is titled the way it is. Second, the acting is also very good. Oh, and what’s more, if you want to learn some possibly cool dance moves, then all the more reason to give this film a shot. But really, what makes one of the major highlights of Faith, Hope, & Love is that the characters in this film are authentic, and honest about each of their strengths, and flaws. It’s also interesting with the kinds of music that play throughout this film. Oh, and the film does a really great job of portraying real life, and also overall being fun at the same time. I mean you have Christian parents who end up having somewhat strict rules, and other parents, and characters that are more flexible with how they handle disciplining children. So it was good to have that range in this film too. Finally, Faith, Hope, & Love is great at conveying when it’s time to hold onto certain parts of your life, as well as when it’s also time to let some of those parts of your life go.
And that’s my review for Faith, Hope, & Love. It is a really fun movie that feels very engaging, and is one that quite a few people can relate to with certain aspects. The story is genuine, and the characters are also real, honest, and genuine. And of course, this film is really good at representing life. I would say that if you can find this film at least On Demand, definitely make a point to watch it. You won’t be sorry using up an hour and a half to two hours watching this film.
Final Grade: A
