Preacher's Kid

I LUV THIS MOVIE!!!!! - STORY OF THE PRODIGAL SON (well daughter in this case) in the 21st century.
This movie is reality. As one reviewer said, yes it has cussing in it - some in the church (And in my lifetime, I've heard someone curse in the church. Did I agree with it - no but it happens. Folk also lie and lust in the church. Come on let's keep it real - no church is perfect. No person is perfect. Kids age 13 and older hear cussing and see things on the TV and in the neighborhood, and at church. The main topic of the movie is a parent, who happens to be a pastor has a strong hold on his daughter, who is over 21, because his wife died and she stepped in to help him with some things his wife was doing. He's very dependent on her, and don't want her to go out and enjoy life - not even a simple movie so she gets fed up and leaves home. She had to learn the hard way that life isn't so easy and she returns to her first love - God and her family.

Parents it's up to you to allow your kids to see this. You can watch it with them and explain different situations so they won't...

Great movie with a good message. Please buy the DVD.
I would recommend the Preacher's Kid movie for all to see. The overall message I got from the movie is for parents to not raise your kids to be too naive. Let them know what is going out there in the world, but you can still raise your kids to be Christians. Allow your kids to have a life outside church so they will not be so eager to stray from the church so quickly. The character, Angie goes through a lot because of naivity, but in the end she does a 360 & she's better off.

Redemptive Reality
Preacher's Kid is a wonderful movie. Well-written, well-directed, well-acted. And the music is super. It's incredible to think this film was done on a modest budget. And good grief, if we expect all Christian movies to be available for 5-year-olds, we'll never be blessed with the picture of Christ in the real world. Reducing faith to not saying hell or damn is reducing the gift of redemption to something legalistic and denying the life and wonder of salvation. I was blessed by the movie, and blessed to be given a peek into the lives of my African-American brethren. I'm looking for more from filmaker Stan Foster and his talented cast and crew.
