War Room (2015)

People are voting emotionally.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Its a shame that this film has been negatively criticized the way it has been. This just demonstrates that some wish to close off their ears and not wish to hear the message behind the film. Its not the acting that should matter but the message itself. Its sad that in a world where there is so much hurting, some people do not wish to turn to prayer. It is perhaps the one thing that we need more than anything else.This movie should not solely target Christians but more especially it should reach non-Christians. I think that was the main purpose behind making this film. Its terribly sad that the world nowadays no longer wants to turn their eyes to the maker. They just want to turn to things that will not help them spiritually. I know who I am in the eyes of my maker and I will not waste an opportunity criticizing this film. Of course, there may have been one or two things that were not perfect about it but should not mean that we should ignore the underlying message behind it. What the world needs now more than ever is to repent and turn their eyes towards Jesus. I pray that film should not simply be a tool for criticism but it should reach those that are lost and continuing to hurt out there. I wish to reiterate that its not acting that counts but the message itself.

I just watched this movie at the suggestion of my mother. I laughed and did a lot of crying. Some of the negative critics may ask why but when you're a Christian and you know God is speaking to you through film or the bible or prayer it can be extremely touching. I loved everything about this movie. I loved the characters the acting, the story line. I look forward to watching it again tonight when my husband gets in. I don't believe this movie was meant to cram religion down people's throats. Christians want moves that will uplift and inspire us and this definitely did it for me. For those who aren't saved and couldn't find the good in this movie, I'm praying in my new war room for you.

The new Kendrick Brothers' film "The War Room" is a humor-filled Christian movie that provides the inspiration message of the power of prayer. It stars first-time actress in Priscilla Shirer,who happens to be a Christian preacher, together with former football player-turned actor,T.C. Stallings.The story primarily deals with the husband-and-wife Elizabeth and Tony Jordan,who works as real estate agent and pharmaceutical salesman,that are currently undergoing marital problems.Tony is introduced to be verbally abusive husband particularly to his wife and works a lot to the point of not spending much time with his his child Danielle.Then,Elizabeth deals with a client named Clara in one of her house sales.Clara introduces to Elizabeth having a closet room wherein he spends time with God in prayer and tells her the importance of having a relationship with God.Elizabeth takes this message and begins to form a closet room of her own at her own and she starts doing her prayers as well as having a relationship with God in order to save their marriage and to address her marital difficulties particularly her relationship with Tony.Things begin to change in the process that made Tony become a better person both as a husband and a father.The End!!!No question that it definitely provides the viewer an inspiration message of prayer and having a relationship with God.The movie tells the viewer that prayer is extremely necessary in times of trials and challenges.This will turn off some viewers particularly non-Christians and people who do not believe in the power of prayer.These same people may view the transformation of Tony as unrealistic considering that he changed simply from being verbally abusive and adulterous to becoming a loving husband as well as a caring father only through the prayers that Elizabeth and Clara have made in their respective closet rooms.These same viewers want to see more such as Tony and Elizabeth go through marriage counseling and numerous dialogues to commit to their marriage.To them,prayer wound not be the simple solution to their marital problems and difficulties.Besides,was prayer enough too to make Elizabeth a more understanding wife?Being a Christian,I personally believe that prayer is an effective spiritual weapon.No question that lifting our personal battles to God is already a lot through prayer.Fellow Christians like me will definitely appreciate it.They will be inspired to pray and check their own relationship with God.It will also give them hope especially in tough and challenging times.Just what I have stated,prayer is a powerful spiritual weapon that may take care of our problems even worse than what Elizabeth was facing in this movie.It will also renew their trust and faith in God.

This is such a POWER packed movie! I smiled, laughed, cried & worshiped GOD right in the movie theater. From beginning to end, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. This is a movie that I can watch over & over again and never get tired of it. From the producers of the movie to the actors & actresses, this was very well written & played. I applaud you all, kudos to you! There should be more Christian, GOD fearing movies like this that inspires, encourages, convicts and changes people's lives. I will FOREVER be changed by this movie, I will NEVER be the same again! All Glory be to GOD!!!
