Movie Reviews of The Second Chance
Movie Review: Great Movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed the movie and the story was good. It didn't do as much for me as "Facing the Giants" but it was great. I am glad it is part of my collection.
Summary of The Second Chance
Faith can move mountains--and change men's lives. The inspirational tale in The Second Chance weaves the foundation of faith subtly but deeply through the lives of its characters, the Rev. Ethan Jenkins and the Rev. Jake Sanders. Though the two have known each other since they were kids, but their worlds are, well, worlds apart. Ethan (gospel-singing phenom Michael W. Smith) is on staff at the Rock, a wealthy suburban mega-church, and sees a bright future for himself as the head pastor there someday. But his real journey of faith begins when he starts working alongside Jake (an incredibly charismatic Jeff Obafemi Carr) at the Rock's sister church in the poor part of town. The stellar, grounded performances of both Smith and Carr, as well as the brisk direction and soul-stirring music, keep The Second Chance from being too predictable--even though when Ethan first appears in the 'hood, he makes a few rich-guy gaffes, like accidentally ordering a barbecue platter (at the God Almighty chicken restaurant!) that's way too spicy for his white-bread palate. But the film's full-on embrace of faith as a normal part of life makes it bracingly refreshing, and if you can see the characters' redemption coming, it doesn't make it any less uplifting. The DVD is absolutely packed with extras, including interviews with director Steve Taylor as well as stars Smith and Carr; a music video, All in the Serve, by Smith; director's commentary; deleted scenes; and more. --A.T. HurleyEthan Jenkins (Michael W. Smith) and Jake Sanders (introducing jeff obafemi carr) are both passionate pastors who worship the same God from the same book--but that's where the similarity ends. White and well-to-do Ethan is comfortable in his music ministry at the media-savvy suburban mega-church The Rock; Jake is a street smart African-American who ministers to the gang members teen mothers and drug addicts of the urban Second Chance. When they are suddenly thrown together in a tough neighborhood and forced to work side by side Ethan discovers there is no boundary between the streets and the sanctuary. But can the faith these two men share overcome the prejudices that divide them to give themselves and a struggling urban church a second chance?System Requirements:Run Time: 102 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MISCELLANEOUS/SPECIAL INTEREST Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396144903 Manufacturer No: 14490
