    Neal Donald Walsch truly is the Mary Baker Eddy of his day! You can't blame the guy for trying (and succeeding) at creating his own religion. After all, "Mother Mary" (Baker Eddy), and Joseph Smith with his lieutenant, Brigham Young created the mold from which Neal Donald has extracted his own image---that of simple Savior to the masses! In this age of aggrevated annoyances in daily life and spiritual platitudes from the pulpit, a nice quiet conversation with God seems innocent enough, though I believe it is sometimes called a "mental illness" when the preoccupation gets to the level perpetrated by Mr. Walsch. As Walsch scribbles away with religious fervor, one certainly does not hear the truth with the same impact as if God were speaking from a burning bush. Re-acquainting oneself with the power contained within Old Testament might be more edifying than this movie.… Expand

    This is a bad film with a total lack of inspiration. I feel sorry for the people who are actually impressed by this film. I would only recommend it to the narrow-minded viewers who are looking to validate their conventional views.

    I feel sorry for people who are genuinely bothered by this film or the premiss. I was expecting it to be much worse than it was given the lackluster to quite negative reviews the normal critics were giving it. No, it doesn't have the glitz or the all-star line up of a big money film. But, for what it is and what I heard before seeing the film, I was pleasantly surprised and delighted in general. I would recommend it to anyone familiar with Walsh's story or anyone who has an open mind when it comes to life's meaning and the possibilities of what lies beyond what we cannot perceive with our 5 physical senses.… Expand

    I saw the sneak preview and was so happy to see a film that depicts God the way I know her. Very inspiring and fascinating story. Don't miss it.

    It's an agreeable enough tale right up until God butts in and starts talking; even if you can swallow the premise, it isn't particularly cinematic to watch a guy endlessly scribbling on legal pads.

    Beyond a lack of enthralling characters or convincing plotting, though, what's most glaringly missing in this self-promotional marketing tool is, of all things, God, who gets only a bit role as Walsch's muse in a few scenes.

    Despite valiant efforts from Czerny and from the fine stage actress Vilma Silva, who plays one of Walsch's many saviors, the result would qualify as a blandly inspirational amateur hour if the running time weren't closer to two.
