I seriously thought Anna was a 30 year old living at home until she got to school.
Me too. Like even her clothing says 'attractive but grown up'.
Exactly. I mean I know they usually have twenty-somethings playing high schoolers because of truancy laws and whatnot but this was really pushing the bounds of believability
@@FlygonJinn i saw she is 24 and the film was made in 2016 when she was 21. the actress has one of the faces where she looks old - like Blake Lively
Okay, I'm so glad this wasn't just me. XD
If it’s any consolation, the first time I watched Stardust Crusaders I thought Jotaro was an adult and just thought it was super weird seeing him in high school and asked “why are all these girls hitting on their teacher like this? It’s really weird”
As everyone knows, not believing in God is the same as having no morals
Exact same thing

I'm in the process of writing a flash fiction piece in response to this movie.
@@jacindaellison3363 Ever finish it?
@@rukevweb5674 I tried to, but I need more material. I've moved on to other ideas-and still juggling, lol!
My idea was that a child raised by atheist parents wishes his parents were Christians to prevent them from getting a divorce. But it gets worse...
I really hope the director doesn’t believe all non-religious parents are as permissive, neglectful, and greedy as the parents were in this movie.
Yeah seriously I usually don’t like to exaggerate but I honestly think if they keep doing this it could be a flat out dangerous trope. It could create an unrealistic stereotypical outlook on people who either don’t believe or do but don’t practice it constantly. Not all people like that are awful people. I had to develop more to get that idea out of my head that non religious are always bad
Also if anyone religious is reading I only mean that not everyone who’s non religious is a bad person.
Yeah, that's really bad. Can't be a good person without religion huh?
This movie is 100% accurate. I know when I stopped believing in God I too suddenly stopped caring about the deep seated principles I based my life on. Now I'm just a horrible, greedy person who would sell out his own mother to make a quick buck. Like every other atheist out there.
@brandon roberts Duh! That's the best part!
5:55
"We represent clients who can't afford legal services."
I can not wait to see the house they live in while exclusively working for people who can't afford to pay them.
6:14
Yeah, that checks out.
It's the Prosperity Gospel!
I actually shouted "OH NO" when you said it was by the people who made Catching Faith.
A blankitty blank Christmas? that one can't be a PureFlix film.
I agree, not with the 1940's-era profanity in the title!
“I want to go to the unchristian dance, so I’ll ask God to make my parents libertarian!”
Then they turn into Kevin Sorbo and his WIFE
You mean......it’s NOT..... CHRISTIAAAAAAN?!?!
@@quinnzykir 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Uncle Pastor” sounds like a Crimson Chin villain from the Fairly OddParents
You know what Christian movie I would LOVE for him to review? The Night of the Hunter. One of the most influential films in cinema, one of the greatest movie villains of all time, one of the best scenes in movie history, and a wonderful Christian message. Not one you'd see covered by PureFlix, but an important one. Do it, Kevin! You've done horror before. Watch a GOOD Christian horror film.
OMGosh! I love that movie! The perfect "christian" movie that portays true and false christians and how sometimes we christians tend to be gulluble idiots. To bad when the movie first came out, it was a finiavial and critical flop. It discouraged the director to direct ever again. It has a terrific rating on Rotten Tomatoes today, though.
"Is it a good thing if God condemns my parents to Hell so I can go to a dance. That's something God would do right?"
This seems like something Satan would do actually.
The first shall be last Christmas i gave you my heart
And the very next day you gave it away.
But this year to save me from tears, I am giving it to someone special. ❤️
*insert the lyrics that no one actually knows or pays attention to*
And they very next day I became a force ghost
Seriously thought she was supposed to be almost 30 in that first scene, not A HIGH SCHOOLER.
Elizabeth same!!! I was like “wait why are her parents telling her how to dress while she’s home for Christmas; I’d be pissed too-oh. wat.”
God's Not Dead: The Christmas Edition
Jenny Nicholson has the greatest analysis of the “a Christmas prince” franchise
She’s so SO funny!
@@saygoodnightkevin you like Jenny Nicholson? I like you even more now!!!
Okay I have a serious theological problem with this film (normally other PureFlix films are laughable and I don't really make a statement) And I like that Kevin addressed that it was a weird Christian movie.
This defines Christianity as a group of nice, happy American people and not a Theology or Ideology. Not only is this movie bad from a filming prospective, it's bad from a Theological Christian perspective because it's implying God will take someone's faith and the Holy Spirit away if you ask Him to. This film also implies that simply being a nice person is what makes you a Christian instead of Christ and His Word--and that it somehow means that all non-Christians are mean people. And it also implies that simply saying "it's about Jesus" fixes everything out of nowhere--Anna's decision to change the Christmas Pageant last minute was abrupt and surfacey rather than impactful. It's all just a disaster of a thought experiment that places more emphasis on people talking about vague notions of Christianity instead of exploring the actual substance of it--like it didn't talk about Jesus in a definitive way--just "He's the reason for the season!" So this movie was blatant and vague at the same time.
The story is disjointed and not relatable. Anna didn't have so much of a change of heart as just responding to her parents behavior when they "turned atheist" by wanting them to be Christian "not jerks" again and felt guilty just because of their behavior. Sorry for ranting lol
And y'know, the whole Christmas ball thing would've been fine since some Churches do services on Christmas day, so the parents just could've made a compromise with her in the beginning of the film. Problem solved.
hello, atheist here
l o l @ this movie's whole
"we dont believe in jesus anymore so now we have no morals!!!" plot
*your commentary is so genuinely accurate and funny
im a fan of you
the irony not lost on me
If she were a real Christian she would know those stars have only been shining since the fourth day of creation.
Anna must have been held back in school because she is clearly 30 years old.
"The girl from Christian Mingle..." Mean girls: Do I mean nothing to you?
I mention it later. Lol. She was also the little girl in the Lost in Space movie in the 90s. Haha.
@@saygoodnightkevin Yeah I noticed you acknowledged it but I typically let my mistakes stay in the open instead of making edits haha
It feels like the moviemakers read an Ayn Rand book for the first time and just assumed that all Atheists share her philosophy.
That law office sure is nice and fancy
for them to only do pro bono work
I remember thinking it was stupid when people didn't know things about stars. Then my dad (astronomy professor) started sending me the answers he would get on quizzes for something as simple as "name the planets in order from the sun". People really don't retain what they don't want to learn.
Rich White people problems. The Christian movie
If you haven't seen my Catching Faith review, it's even worse. lol.
Say Goodnight Kevin oh I have. That movie. The mom gets so offended being called a “stay at home mom”
I’m sitting front rower in plain view of my mom. LET ME TEXT MY FRIENDS
These Christian movies are a giant facepalm...with a brick. Multiple bricks. That Kevin McCallister threw from an apartment roof.
Or a toolbox rolling down the stairs
Or get smashed in the face with an iron.
Or a paint can swinging on a rope.
"I made my family's god disappear." 🙉
Kevin McCreary = the new Kevin McCallister
This wasn't the Good Luck Charlie Spin-off we wanted
Wow that was actually a really good setup for the Pure Flick joke. I didn't see it coming this time
Bill engvall playing discount billy bob Thornton in slightly disheveled Santa
Not Good Christmas Man starring Bill Engvall
when u said “things are really falling apart for Anna” I felt that
Oh Home Alone drinking game: take a shot when someone looks through a window
But make sure at least one person remains sober so he or she can call 911 when everyone else gets alcohol poisoning.
Mean-Christmas-while
You know, when the girl called out the street Santa for stealing, I was kinda like, yeah okay that's pretty scummy. But then his response, it made me stop and think. Cause, yeah, a lot of Santas _are_ homeless people who are given seasonal work. And while obviously it's not a _good_ thing to steal, much less steal from charity... I can kinda see where the guy is coming from, and how I could even feel like it was okay. I mean, if you're homeless, you've got this temp job that you'll be doing for a month at most, it probably doesn't pay well (if it did they wouldn't need to hire the very impoverished) and, it's not like you're stealing the entire thing, just a few bucks. When the previous night some rich guy dropped a Ben Franklin in there? Yeah. I can see someone making the decision to take a bit for themselves.
Especially if the charity is for a different cause. I mean, let's say it's some food fund for people in Africa somewhere. They need the food, but you need to eat too and how horrible must it feel to be doing work, probably badly paid, for a charity fund that won't even benefit you? People being willing to give money to those far away in a different nation, on a different continent, but not even thinking to offer aid to you standing right in front of them? It's not the case in this film, I'm expanding on the idea of "homeless person stealing from a charity bucket" as a moral question. But again, I could really see how someone would feel justified in that act. I can't say I definitely wouldn't do the same thing in that situation.
Well, that's me putting way more thought into that small interaction than anyone involved in this movie did! :D
Fun fact: this was filmed in my high school/town AND I was actually an extra in this movie
Edit: that’s my mass of brown hair behind her at 33:37
That’s awesome!
FYI, there is actually a "recall email" feature in a lot of email clients, but it only works if the person hasn't yet opened the email you sent.
It’s true. That does exist in outlook. But it isn’t a separate plug in. The way they did it in the movie (which I don’t think I show entirely) was, she downloaded a program, then installed it and deleted the email. I mean, it might be possible. I know it isn’t for Gmail. You can ask my ex employer about that. 😂
@@saygoodnightkevin You do mention that it's a plugin. I guess I missed that on the first time around. I have never had to use the recall feature before, but my work uses Outlook and I swear I get a recall request at least 2-3 times per month. But I also pretty much open every email as soon as I get it, so I've always got it AND the recall request right next to each other.
There's NOTHING Dad loves more than dancing with young girls at the high school dance!!
Goodnight, Kevin.
Film student here - I watch these fils ironically. I will be sure to make a bingo game for the tropes with classmates next year - spring intake.
Wow this feels like a black mirror episode without the twist ending...
"Wow, I guess the only thing that could fix this is......a montage."
Hahahaha! Kevin, you're the best!
Thank you. :-)
Ana is no younger than 22.
Ana's mom is 35.
Ana's dad is 30.
Also, Ana's boyfriend is 25.
Ana's boyfriend's dad is 35.
I was thinking the same. To be fair, they somewhat normalized it by reminding us how young Jesus' mom was.
Also, we are likely underestimating the ages of the parents because rich people age more slowly than the rest of us.
Just because I am obsessive about such things, here are the actors with their dates of birth. I assume filming was in early to middle of 2016, but don't know for sure. Release was in November 2016, but I imagine these no-budget family flicks have a quick turnaround.
Anna: Anna Fricks, 09/11/1995 (20 years old)
Anna's Dad: Joey Lawrence, 04/20/1976 (40)
Anna's Mom: Leigh-Allyn Baker, 03/13/1972 (44)
Boyfriend: Ryan Boudreau: 05/12/1990 (26)
Boyfriend's Dad: Sean T. Smith, dob not found
So, it turns out that while Anna is too old for high school, her parents are not too young to be her parents. If we accept that Anna is three years younger than her actor, and the dad a couple years older than his actor, both parents could have graduated law school before she was born.
My mom is 40 and looks younger than Ana's mom 😬
Me: Wait, is that the guy from Melissa and Joey? Wow, he got roped into Christian movies too?
Kevin: *immediately makes a Melissa and Joey joke*
Man, something about that show must have really killed their careers.
35:15 I didn’t know Kelly was in this movie!!🤣
Sorry Kelly I had to get it out
I recently discovered this channel and have been laughing myself silly for the past week. It's so nice to have somebody reviewing these types of movies & shows for their content/questionable merit (not just bashing them solely for their genre.) Some of the movies have been so terrible (especially this one) but you make them entertaining. Thank you!
Who else's first thought when seeing this was "Why is the mom from good luck Charlie here?"
The Kevin heckle moment was the best. XD
Joey Lawrence in a Christian movie? Whoa!
The only thing that can fix this is....a montage.
Oh my gosh Kevin you’re returned to Mustard Seed Entertainment, does that mean we’re getting a review for Catching Faith 2 soon? Also yeah there’s no football in that either.
Fun fact: this film was shot at my mothers (writer) home in Boston, Massachusetts.
Next Month!
"TECHOTRONICS" !!!! Uncle Pastor is played by Jeff from Big Brother- he spelled the word Techotronics and was kinda of a tough guy, and was in some pretty good fights , anyone else remember.
I had to look him up on IMDB because I knew he looked familiar but couldn't place him. I'm not sure if lame Christian movies is a step up or down from reality TV.
Oh my gosh! I accidentally watched this movie on Hallmark because it said it was 'A Wish for Christmas'. I was so confused! The image and description did not match at all. It alllll makes sense now!
Hey Kev, one *sad* and "edgy" christian movie you should see/maybe review is Caged No More, it's about human trafficking so...yeah. It's CHRISTIAN intense. But the hilarious thing about it is Kevin Sorbo is in it and playing a good guy, and his EVIL TWIN brother.
Oh yeah. There is one called Priceless about that too. Maybe I should just do a whole fun month about it like I did with abortion!
Say Goodnight Kevin so lighthearted. Do it
I think Anna's dad is a replicant
R u going to review Last Ounce of Courage? You're going to have a "blast' with that one! 🤣
"Christmas Jesus Magic" should be a on a T shirt.
Why is Joey Lawrence so shiny in this?! Put down the highlight powder Joey!
This video reminds me that Kevin is flooping hilarious, and his commentary is second to noneeeee.
Except Jesus* cuz its a PURE flick!
The only thing I think that can fix this is..."don't say it don't say it don't say it"...a montage "ahhhhhhh"
Why did I never notice the secretary and the one girl’s friend were also in Catching Faith? (Gossipy lady, and the daughter)
I’ve seen this review at least 4 times. There’s always more to learn about the Christian Movie Cinematic Universe.
Kevin... Can you please review the Christian version of "Little Women"?
Nicole Shan YES
There's a Christian version of "Little Women?" Why does that fill me with dread?
The fact it didn’t end with her saying "hey Scotty Jesus, man" is a crime.
I'll add your wife to our prayer list
35:46 Kevin yelling in the background is hilarious 😂😂
With regard to the email thing, you could send another email with a virus or some kind of malware hidden in an attachment that would take over the other person's device and enable you to delete the email from within. It wouldn't be an instant fix (nor an ethical fix), and it would hinge on the other person opening the email and downloading the file.
"I clearly love that movie"
I'm fairly new so I actually can't tell if that's sarcasm or not
Guess you’ll have to watch my review to find out! (Spoiler alert, I didn’t like it. Lol.)
@@saygoodnightkevin Yeah I ended up realizing X,-D I should check out that review too sometime!
*santa flops out the chimney* "ho ho ho- take this, it's dangerous to go alone."
My eyes water with joy fluids as he reaches into his bag and pulls out a fresh n' juicy SayMovieNightKevin- a Hallmark one! This combination is a dream come true, a Christmas miracle just in time for Christmas.
"I don't think it's appropriate."
I mean, Anna IS the only one going sleeveless while everyone else is in long sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, and cardigans (and hats, and gloves, and scarves.)
If her boyfriend is a Christian, what is he doing at a COLLEGE PARTY?????!!!!!
Is 40-something Joey Lawrence old enough to have a 30 year old daughter? LOL!
I love these videos, I always snort-laugh
HAHA. Then I've done my job. :-P
28:30 wow nice YTP edit kevin
This comment was my Christmas wish!
2:52 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Oh boy this will be a ride! 😱😰😂
Nearly choked on a chip with born..... AGAIN 😂😂😂
I’ve rewatched this video several times over the year and I’m just now realizing Leigh-Allyn Baker is in this ???
This channel lost its purity when you reviewed the Independence Day sequel. Don't think we forgot that.
Ugh, I hate how the parents are portrayed after they stop being Christians, so hammy and stupid. The writer really seems like one of those types of people who don't think non believers can be moral.
Did morality simply not exists before Christianity or something?
Man, I'm grateful I went to school. I had no idea that not all atheists r jerks just b/c I am a Christian. Heck, an atheist classmate asked me could he interview me for his religious studies class, and we had two Muslims in said class. I even got to ask him why he's an atheist; his decision absolutely had nothing to do with being pissed off with God and using Atheism as a middle finger to Him.
@@jacindaellison3363 That's cool. Yeah, I'm not sure why these types of movies always seem to think people are only Atheists because they hate God. I'm an Atheist for a pretty simple reason. I'm the type of person who believes in what they can see, what they can touch, what is tangible.
Religion simply doesn't offer any proof like that, what I can believe in, what can be seen or felt, it's that simple. I don't hate God, religion, or anyone really, it just personally has never made any sense to me.
My mother is one of the most devout godly people there are and when I tell you she would’ve beat my ass if I broke someone else’s belongings…
I handled all the nonsense before it, but Anna asking what a light year is made me lose it. What's a light year?!
16:06
OK, every one of these rules, with the possible exception of Rule 6, should already have been in place. Rule 6 is also perfectly legit, provided that acceptable answers include: "I don't know, but I will find out and get back to you as soon as possible."
i made coffee at 3 30 this morning and its 10 40 in the morning now so i totally get it 😂😂🤣
It's the mother from Good Luck Charlie!
... huh, that's the Good Luck Charlie mom!
5:19 Kevin! This is CHHHHHRRRRRIIIIIIISSSSSSTTTTTIIIIIIIAAAAANNNNN!
I have an "Uncle Pastor" so its weird that you keep calling the Uncle Pastor in this movie by that lol.
The war on Christmas has be hard on hallmark pure flix verse
Review Keys to the Kingdom. Great Christian film with Gregory Peck.
When are you gonna cover the Narnia movies tho?
Hey that's the mom from Good luck charlie
I was so confused when you said that those were her parents. They straight up look the same age
The joke is alive, that's for certain. But fresh? That's debatable~
8:50 Exactly! Things like that are what drive kids to hurt themselves!
Is that the mom from Good Luck Charlie?
Good, someone noticed! :)
I'm going to try to write a flash fiction story based/as a response to this movie.
isn't 15:21 just what happened to all the mid-00s christian metal bands?
You can’t give someone faith...but you can selfishly wish their faith away...right. Start that fire Anna...
21:37 looks like anna’s going down a very dark path... of listening to radiohead
i wonder if the uncle is the "big brother " hahaa!
Wow, this movie was filmed in atheist Massachusetts instead of Christian Arkansas.
Ugh, the Pastor Uncle is Jeff Schroeder from Daily Blast Live and Big Brother and The Amazing Race.
The actress who plays the secretary wrote this.
I wonder if the parents are going to be able to get out of their contract with the bank.
