    The best selling and internationally renowed book written by James Redfield has made a huge impact on followers ? No this film goes nowhere near the excellence of the book (yes, I am a follower) and often comes across corny. The insights themselves tend to blend into eachother a...( read more) little too much, making them a little difficult at times to seperate if you?re not already familiar with them.

    What it does for me however, is allowes me to refresh the insights in a quick fix.

    Not recommended unless you have read or have an interest in the book.

    I haven't read the book, but if it is like the movie or better I might give it a read. It is clearly not a polished, big-budget film, and yet it attracted many well-known and respected actors. It addresses issues of power and control in relationships, religion, and politics in a ...( read more)fresh and contemporary way. To me, its greatest accomplishment is bringing a New Spirituality perspective to screen - where humans are not disconnected beings in a random universe, nor sinners subject to the wrath of an angry God, but are one with everything and are co-creators of their experience of life.

    This is a very interesting and inspirational film. It is beautiful and uplifting. It makes you believe that we all have a higher purpose and can become one with the world.

Critic Reviews

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

... tedious and ill-made claptrap it makes staring at your hands seem like four-star entertainment by comparison. full review

May 25, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Believer and skeptic alike can agree on one thing: It is a transcendentally awful movie. full review

April 21, 2006
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

The film is clumsy -- not merely unconventional but awkward in its narrative development and dialogue. full review

    It's not about the bad acting, lol it's about the message :-). If you get it, you'll love this movie it completely makes sense if you're open to possibilities ;-) Enjoy.

    This movie was a disaster. What plot there was was ridiculous, the acting was terrible, and the general "moral" was questionable at very best. One of my few regrets in my life is wasting 3 dollars to rent this movie.
