A Good Man Is Hard to Find (2008)

Based on the musical stage play of the same name, A Good Man Is Hard to Find, is the story of three women who each undergo romantic crises that challenge their personal and spiritual relationships. Each must overcome personal demons, resist temptations and withstand bad decisions so they can learn how to find and hold on to, a good man.

I actually enjoyed the movie.

I'm glad I didn't listen to a lot of the reviews. The film had a lot of actors that I'm used to seeing on screen. It was worth the money I paid. I liked it because it was about a family I could relate to and it had a good lesson about relationships. November 4, 2008

Not only is a good man hard to find...

...but apparently a good movie is too! In spite of the caliber of the featured actors and actresses, I was left a bit lost and confused in the end.

Let me begin by saying Hill Harper did an excellent job as the charming-turned-cold boss, as did Melissa de Sousa and Mel Jackson as the high maintenance best friend and Renaissance man respectively.

I was thoroughly disappointed with the choppy story line that seemed to jump from one extreme to another, enabling most of the characters to fully develop. Also, some scenes (such as the throwing of the liquor bottle, the son fighting with his father) were overdramatized to the point of being ridiculous and ultimately irrelevant.

I understand the multiple messages that the movie conveyed in regards to being faithful, the importance of building a strong spiritual foundation within yourself and your family, and appreciating the things that you have instead of lusting after the things you don't need, but I just expected more.

I recommend renting the movie first before buying it; it should be available at your local video store.

Slow Start

Even though this video had a slow start, overall it's pretty good. Dewitt Henson does an extra job as a christain man fighting to keep his family together. The highlight of the movie was Deborah Cox singing in church toward the end. September 1, 2008

Could have been better, BUT i do respect the message that it was bringing across about marriage and the youth. August 3, 2008

Strong Message for Married Couples

I am a married woman and this movie brought me to tears. The couple (Golden Brook's character and Darrin's character)at the center of the plot seems to have it all, but they both find themselves unhappily married. Their union is put to the ultimate test and it survives. I have some of the same struggles the woman complains about in her marriage. You have a good man and you know it, but it's really difficult to get through to him that he needs to spend time with you and notice you. I am definitely going to watch the movie again with my husband. It stays true to Christian values and would be a great resource for marriage counseling. I also plan to share the movie with as many couples as I can. If you need a constructive perspective this is a movie for you. July 19, 2008
