Conversations with God (2006)

Acting & Story Worse than an Afterschool Special

The entire plot of Conversations with God is simply preposterous. Any gems of wisdom that the author believes God spoke to him directly are merely regurgitation of spiritual clichés that people want so desperately to believe. The story and acting are both absurd, definitely had the feeling of the made for school movies I remember being forced to watch in middle school or a poorly made after school special. Next time the director should consider hiring some actors. The only reason my husband and I didn't walk out on this film is we started viewing it as a comedy and got curious to see just how bad it was going to get. Last time I checked, anyone who believes God is talking to them or through them could be diagnosed with a psychological disorder. Simply unbelievable how folks believe and lap this stuff up. My being an atheist certainly colors my review of this piece of garbage in a particular way, that aside, the acting was still horrible. If I didn't have a conscience, the fact that the book was published and this film was made makes me strongly believe I could just write up some hokey poke spiritual crap and make millions off of it by giving people "hope" that God will help them.
