About the Movie:
Matthew Stevenson is a troubled kid from a broken home. When he vandalizes the local church to get back at his parents, Matthew has to repair the damage to the church to avoid criminal charges. While working at the church, he meets Ernest (John Ratzenberger), an accomplished wood carver who created the intricate woodwork decoration that Matthew destroyed. Ernest has become something of a hermit, but reluctantly comes out of reclusion to help repair the church. Now Ernest and Matthew must work together to preserve the church's beautiful antiquity, and along the way, they also manage to restore their faith in God and in life.
My Thoughts and Review:
Troubled teen. Separated parents. Reclusive widower and woodcarver. When the local church is vandalized, these lives converge. My family and I enjoyed watching this DVD. I even got teary eyes a few times. Ernest Otto becomes a mentor who takes fifteen-year-old Matthew under his wings with one condition. Matthew is to ask himself WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) before making any decision. This concept changes Matthew and his changes affect others. The theme is restoration. The plot is pretty simplistic but the story is still beautiful :). John Ratzenberger's performance is excellent. Faith. Family. Friendship. Fantastic film!

What would Jesus do WWJD? That is a question I used in making decisions back when I was a teenager, I am 72 now, lol. That really helps to ask that, and trust His guidance. Juanita Wickey whisper97304@yahoo.com
