During tough economic times, small-town business owner Matthew Peyton (Ryan O'Quinn) struggles with his desire for financial success and the responsibility of funding the annual Christmas pageant. Matthew's popularity also declines when his desperate decisions start to anger his fellow citizens. When Peyton meets Clarence, a joyful boy who believes in miracles, he must make a choice: do what's best for himself or give faith a chance by opening his heart to help his new friend and the community.

Schmaltzy faith-based drama isn't quite a lump of coal, but it's not a Christmas present, either.

Believe might be earnest to a fault, but it's hard to totally a knock a movie so eager to please.

Director Billy Dickson's Christmas movie means well, but a muddled story and some flawed writing keep "Believe" from achieving its goals.

Faith-based holiday drama has familiar messages, violence.

Faith-based filmmakers can still do better, but I've seen them do a whole lot worse.

3/4

Although the picture is ostensibly aimed at the Christian demographic, it has a complicated enough storyline, including a love triangle and intriguing plot twists, to appeal to more than merely Bible-thumping Evangelicals.

God works in mysterious ways. How? Why? or What is the meaning? Well, watch this movie you might just get a hint.

Good acting. Good score. Suspenseful, but not cheesy.

It's sad to see that every time there is a faith-based movie on the big screen, the atheist "movie critics" are quick to condemn it. This is an excellent movie, with strong characters and very real, plausible storyline. It will make you grab a Kleenex for sure! Just look at the user ratings versus the critic ratings. They have no clue. They must not "believe." ??
