The Carpenter's Miracle

My experience of this movie is mixed. Upfront let me tell you that it has a few predictable moments. But it also had several scenes that I didn't see coming. I found some of the actors and actresses endearing. The Carpenter's Miracle has the elements of a great story; a crisis, a villain, a rescuer, and some relationship dynamics that I found heartwarming. I haven't watched a movie in a long time and I needed a break from stress. This movie provided a nice break.

Excellent movie..Cameron Mathison is wonderful

As with all movies, you have your likes and dislikes of any movie. Overall, this was a decent movie that we could all watch as a family and it has a good storyline. Some of the characters were a bit off at times while others were spot on. Basically, you have a boy that gets stuck under water after a tree fell while they were playing at the lake. The boy drowns and is declared dead. This happens a few weeks before Easter. A man nearby that was fishing, who happens to be a carpenter/handyman jumps in to save the boy and performs life saving measures that fail. When taken to the hospital, the mother arrives not knowing what has happened and upon learning of her son dying, she breaks down but asks the man who tried to save him to go down with her to see her son. The man places his hands on the boy, says a prayer and wishes he could of saves him. The boy suddenly revives not knowing who took place. Thus, the story begins. A reporter from the city comes down to do a story on the events, and as more often than not, spins the story in a negative light and relentlessly harasses the boy, his mom and the man who saved the boy.One thing that is very awkward is the boy's relationship with the man who saves him which seems completely indifferent at times, a complete disdain at others and acceptance, but he is rather emotionless overall. It wasn't a good fit in casting. You would think that one would be pleased with the very person that saved him and grateful. This isn't the case. Made the movie awkward and forced.Naturally you hate the reporter from the beginning but that's expected. Other than that, it was well done for the most part, suitable for all ages and it is a faith-based movie about prayer with a bit of mild romance in it. Not sure why the total hatred in some reviews but it is worth the watch.

After reading a few reviews of how good this was and yada yada.. I wonder if we watched the same movie. This was not a totally bad movie, but not as great as I thought it was going to be by title, lead actor and description. Certainly not worthy of any high praise. Not popcorn worthy. Very slow. I watched about half and debated watching the rest a day or two later, but I finished it. No specific story line nor satisfying conclusion. No cliffhanger; just did not seem complete. I did expect more from lead actor quite honestly.The only reason I still give 3/5 stars is that it is certainly far better than a lot of junk out there. This is family-friendly. No cursing, guts and gore, sexual content or violence. If you are hoping for a good moral or Biblical lesson to come through this film, you will be highly disappointed.

I was captivated by the action in the first 5 minutes, but it just went downhill, from there. I held on for 30 minutes and finally gave up. The, "I NEED to start dating you...NOW!" was ridiculous, but I held on. Then, a few "God"/Bible comments upset me because they almost seemed blasphemous...so I stopped.Anyway, I usually like to research new actors/actresses; so I found out that the young man that played the son/boy, just plead guilty to his mom's murder. It's sooo tragic...truly! May she rest in peace, and may her son repent for his evil crime!

Really liked this movie.

2 stars for nice story w/o profanity.. But what was the point? Thought it was going somewhere in the beginning only to completely nosedive beyond what I would ever have expected. . There was no point. Could have had good messages. No one even said the obvious that God worked THROUGH him, God can work miracles... Nothing with any message that made sense. No inspirational message of prayer, faith, hope, etc. It's like they exploited audience that welcomes good Christian shows w a logical Christian message, but deceives in the end. Like they said, let's make a movie that people will watch bc they think it has areal, divine message, but then it will end up having nothing to do w God, as he doesn't even pray when he touches the dog. at the end What, is the guy suppose to have super powers now? smh.
