Summary: A dozen different souls-all moving in different directions, all longing for something more.

As their lives unexpectedly intersect, they each are about to discover there is power in the Cross of Christ ... even if they don't yet believe it. When a local pastor is shaken to the core by the visible faith of an old street-corner preacher, he is reminded that true belief always requires action.

Stripping this to a film with fewer characters, maybe playing up the best actors giving the best performances — McGinley, Lindo, Shwayze and PenaVega stand out — would have helped. Read full review

A film that starts off on a reasonably restrained note but which quickly grows so ridiculously ham-fisted that it almost makes its predecessor seem reasonable and open-minded by comparison. Read full review

When all its threads are finally pulled into place, Do You Believe? proves about as spiritually enlightening as a Kmart throw rug. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Director Jonathan M. Gunn and screenwriters Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon are hard-pressed to provide the superfluous characters and situations sufficient depth, with the proceedings featuring enough melodramatic plot developments and homilies to fuel a religious soap opera. Read full review

A deranged melodrama where any sense of soapy, campy fun is undercut by the preachy, self-serious tone. Read full review

It's basically a christian version of the movie "Crash." It may be a bit campy at times and exploit the sentimentality in all of us, but it's still highly enjoyable and has something true worth saying. Lots of great actors, lots of excitement, lots of message. Go see it.

Among its predecessor God's Not Dead, this is meant for Christian audiences. Of course, you may still enjoy this if you are otherwise. The story is slow for a bit of the movie, however, it does eventually pick up for sure.

The anthology plot devices are difficult for any director to pull off, but the film held together pretty well, and many of the sequences were quite moving. Yes, Do You Believe? is targeted at the faith community, but you have to wonder -- with so many people who claim that their faith is the most important part of their lives, why are there so few films that put things such as prayer up on the screen? Definitely a step up from the films starring Kirk Cameron. Pure Flix is on its way to crafting solid cinema. The film is worth supporting in theaters.… Expand

In other words, a propaganda piece leveled at American Christians with hyperbolic straw man representations of their main enemies: atheists, academia, Muslims, and ethnic minorities. Much like last year's film, this one also is composed of several slightly interweaving stories that have no beginning, middle, end, hook, rising action, climax, denoument, tension, or entertainment value. Also like God's Not Dead, the protagonist, a white straight cis-gendered middle-class protestant male overcomes imaginary obstacles to strengthen his faith in white Jesus.… Expand
