The Shack

For some reason, I believe Hollywood had nothing to do with this movie. 5 stars.

Doesnt play on a PC if you dont have the right software. Plays wonderful on a basic DVD player.

After I read the book 4 or 5 years ago, I hoped that this would someday be made into a movie so that the message of forgiveness, redemption, and His love so deep and awesome could be shared with millions more. (Too few people read a good book or The Good Book anymore.) When I heard the movie had been made, I waited to see it so that I could first let go of a bias I had that made me assume the movie would not do the book justice. Aside from a few details throughout the story, which the book went into more depth to develop and a couple a deviations in the movie compared to the book, the message of this story in both publications was spot-on the same. I only wish the actor that played the Son looked more like how He was described in the book, which was taken from the description given to us in Isaiah 53:2, and not the handsome man that played Him in the movie. I knew the Holy Spirit was going to be a challenging role to fill, given the books description as One more ethereal and not of solid bodily form. However, the movie did well to cast a shimmering light about the actress at times so I give it a pass. As for the one that played God, there isnt an actress alive today that could have filled this role better or aligned more perfectly with how the book described Him. The only major story line piece missing from the movie was when Mack (after his car accident at the end) directed authorities to the cave where they would find the remains of his daughter. Watch the movie. Read the book. You will love them both.

Great movie. Need Kleenex!!

Its very interesting what we might experence thru life, what might come into our life uninspected

Man oh man I use to laugh at my wife when ever she would start shading tears and I never ever shade a tear for any movie in my whole life and Im 60 years old but this one here got me crying like a baby you hear me, I just love this movie so I called my wife and told her e have to watch this movie with the kids.

I would recommend this movie to anyone regardless of whether they are religious or not.

Touching and intelligent. Very well done and very much needed!!

This is the best movie Ive ever watched in my entire life. I ugly cried through most of it but Id watch it a thousand more times. Really brings things into perspective and makes you think.

Amazing movie! People may argue about doctrines embedded in this movie but I KNOW that this movie helped restoring my old views of GOD. He truly wants a relationship with me and for that, I thank GOD. Thanks, Papa!
