We got the movie from Netflix a week ago and today was the first day we could actually find time in the pm to watch it. Every day of the week there is either games or practices (or both). Ds played Thur and Fri games. His are way long and go way late. I love family movie nite! I actually sat through the whole movie (except the last 15 min, it was getting too long for me to sit still) and cuddled with the girls.
I thought it was a great movie. A bit slow for more than half but oh, the message was so good. I loved listening to the characters' accents as well.
Here is a bit more info on the movie. Sorry I can't write more on my own review . I have a bad headache and need some rest but I just wanted to get this out asap before life gets even more hectic this week. I have to start packing seriously on top of a busy ball week.
So, here it goes. There is even a free discussion guide on the Christian Cinema site. Be blessed!
Faith Like Potatoes is an inspiring true story of a rugged South African farmer, Angus Buchan, and is set in the turbulent hills of the KZN Midlands. Angus' manic quest for material success is slowly transformed into a wild love for God and people, as he wrestles with faith, hope, natural disasters and tragic personal loss.
The DVD is loaded with bonus features, including:
- A fascinating 54-minute documentary on the real life of Angus Buchan
- The behind-the-scenes featurette of The Making of Faith Like Potatoes
- Director and cast commentary
Faith Like Potatoes won the People’s Choice Award at the 2006 Sabaoth International Film Festival and Best Feature at the 2006 Mumbai International FICTS Festival.
Faith Like Potatoes is one of the top 5 grossing domestic theatrical releases in South African movie history.
