Great message lost

I am a pastor of a church and I fully support Christians breaking in to the media market in an effort to spread the Gospel. Movies have become such a huge influence on our youth and young adults. Christians need to use this medium to tell the greatest story ever told. Films like "Facing the Giants" and "Fireproof" are great attempts to do this. however, with the quality of films that come from Hollywood, Christian movies have to step up if they want to truly compete.
"Hidden Secrets" is a movie with a good plot and a great message. However, I had a really difficult time getting past the low quality filming and the really bad overacting. With so many Christians who possess a talent for acting; could they not have found better actors for this film?
You could probably use clips from this film in a small group study to teach lessons about judging others, forgiveness, righteous living, etc. But I fear that people who are used to Hollywood special effects and professional actors who allow you to get lost in the story will have a difficult time sitting through this one.

Worth The Wait

Hidden Secrets does sound like much when first hear the title, but it has good points and very Christian and for all of the John Schneider fans. I think is a very good credit for him he does a very neutral role for him, he plays Gary Zimmerman and he's Skeptic and he a friend of the girls brother in the movie.Hidden SecretsJohn Schneider's Collier & Co. -- Hot Pursuit!Against Time/Collier & Co.: Hot Pursuit October 6, 2008

Great movie

This is a great movie with a powerful message. Christian message comes through loud and clear, but is not "preachy". Get it. October 6, 2008

Refershing Christian Movie!!!! Love it!!!

So refreshing. For someone who has collected a lot of christian movies I must they that Hidden Secrets has been a nice suprise. It was funny, thought provoking, realistic, true to the Gospel and professionally made.

Very good Drama... October 6, 2008

Bet you know someone just like Rhonda

I saw this in the theater as a sneak preview long, long ago. I was eager to take friends to see it, but it was never released. Now I guess I will just purchase copies for Christmas gifts.

Good story. Every one has a secret - and all is revealed and the healing begins by the end.

Since it begins at the funeral of a common friend, it reminded me of a Christian "Big Chill."

Can't wait for the release of the DVD July 30, 2008
