WWJD II: The Woodcarver (2012) (Widescreen)

This is a good solid family film with expressed Christian values: WWJD = What Would Jesus Do? This story is not a sequel to the original WWJD with John Schneider, a decent enough, low-budget effort - we do enjoy it. But WWJD-II is without question a better film in almost every way. It certainly helps to have a strong story & this one is excellent! An adaption of 2001's "The Last Brickmaker in America," with Sidney Poitier, which is an outstanding family film - check it out. It's actually a bit surprising that they did such a good job of adapting this story of a troubled family at the breaking point because of misplaced personal priorities - a story which had been so well told previously in the "Last Brickmaker." We enjoy "Last Brickmaker," "WWJD-II Woodcarver," & WWJD-I (John Schneider) too. We will ultimatly see them all many times over, making their purchase a sound entertainment investment for us. While none of them is "Lillies of the Field," ie: an outstanding major motion picture of "Oscar" quality - they are good films in their own right as made for TV movies. "WWJD II - The Woodcarver" - is especially recommended for those who enjoy John Ratzenberger (we do) & who appreciate a good story with unashamed Christian values. We bought our copy of WWJD-II & would gladly do so again.

Great family movie! Nothing inappropriate to be embarrased of when watching with the kids.

I just finished watching this movie. Here is my suggestion to you husbands and wives- fathers and mothers. Watch this movies BEFORE you sit down with your older children. I am suggesting 12+ in age. You will understand why after watching the film. It is first rate and a must for you all. We have been living in a McDonald's attitude society for 3+ now generations. What do I mean? Remember that wonderful slogan that they came up with- "You Can Have It Now and Your Way"? That is exactly our biggest problem in our society. Everything revolves around ME! Are not the Christ then families be our priority? This film really does reveal what we need most in our lives and that is willing to working together in keeping the faith and family. So prepare yourselves by getting the coffee made, sitting down and watching the movie without interruption OR conversation. Absorb what is happening and when it ends quietly turn out the lights, go to bed and pray about it. Does what has happened in the film reflect any aspect of the life you are living now? What WOULD Jesus Do? It is never too late. Blessings.

These WWJD movies are always inspiring. They help put life into perspective for adults and let kids see the world in a different light.

The acting in this movie is superb. And the dialogue seems quite natural - at least most all the time. Very well scripted and directed. And John Ratzenberger is amazing. (I kept finding myself amazed this was the same guy who played know-it-all windbag Cliff Claven in "Cheers." The range of emotion he displays in this movie really shows the depth of his acting. Kind of like comedian/comedy actor Robin Williams did in "The Dead Poets Society.") Possible SPOILER ALERT here, but what I think really sets this movie apart from other faith-based movies is that in the end not quite EVERYthing ends up hunky dory. I'll leave it at that, but it added a sense of real world realism to the movie. But, I'd have to give it an A+ overall. Very well done film and very uplifting story to watch. Full of good instructional points for youth OR adults.

The entire movie was good. John Ratzenberger has played in some good movies, including, the big "What if?". Good family movie, or just anyone wanting a Christ centered moviee.

This is about love, faith ,family , and heartache. This movie shows that we can let go and let God take control . If we listen to God's word our lives can work out for the good and He can restore ashes for beauty. When we allow God into our lives we can see the beauty instead of the ashes. At times there is so much hate and anger all we see are the ashes. I really enjoyed this movie. Watching God mend all these lives and it shows how much we are intertwined into each others' lives that we are not even aware of it. Great job Great movie.

Loved all of the acting, the actors, the storyline. Just perfection. Helped me so much with my own perception of my family. I have been so angry just like the dad. I don't even know half the time why I am so angry, it literally blinds me. I saw this just as i needed it. I went and apologized and told my kids i loved them as i put them to bed. Sometimes we need a reminder and a wake up call to set us back on the right track. Putting my life and my kids' life back to Christ regardless of what comes. Our family should be priority!

A very good film showing how faith love and trust can reunite a family. You dont have to look far to see the link between the carpenter in the film and the carpenter of 2000 years ago.

I honestly think this movie should be shown to school classes. Talk about a lesson in faith, respect , and so much more! Awesome movie and i will watch again and again

I enjoyed this movie . Great Christian based ! Good for a Family to watch . Sound quality is good No complaints

We watched this movie as a family and we all enjoyed it. Its great to watch a movie that tackles a topic such as teenage rebellion, divorce and grief in such a sensitive and patronizing way.

Very good family viewing movie. It has lots of morals and life lessons, and reveals how satisfying life can be when having God in your life.
