“This is really an entertaining film, with much humor and heart. Barry Corbin plays a cranky retired Vietnam War vet (the sort of role that Wilford Brimley used to play) whose reluctant friendship will be crucial for Spurlock’s hopes for the church to come to fruition. And Spurlock’s relationship with God is complicated. He struggles with his denominational leaders, is challenged by his wife and his son, resistant to doing the right thing, and hesitant to receiving advice from Ye Win (Nelson Lee), his Karen advisor/co-leader, who reminds him that he needs to ask for help. God’s answers to prayer aren’t exactly obvious, either.”
