I expected more for an A&E production, and I found the budget lacking. After watching other A&E productions, I found the producers cut a few corners with the high standards of previous A&E movies sets. Faith of my fathers has an excellent message about character, and going the extra mile. I find with my studies, work and my sick wife the movie is inspirational. It shames me into not feeling sorry for myself. The story is lacking in spots. I have never read the book, but I bet it is a long one. When you compress a long book into a hour and a half the viewer only gets a glimpse of the event. I love the part with grandpa and when John talks to his father and the reply is that John left nothing behind. God bless him and his character. I have no idea what I would do in such a situation. I give it a 6 out of 10. The movie left me looking for more. I think I will read the book after finishing one of my majors.
