addictorator Firstly, I do acknowledge and disclose I am biased in this argument, being an atheist born into a very religious family, but aren't all reviews biased and colored by the past experiences of the reviewer? There is no such thing as an impartial review, but I will try my best to.In short, this was a perfect 10, an enlightening film that could have easily gotten a full 10 from me if not for the ending that seems to undermine itself and ruin the whole message of the film. By this, I do not mean the result of the legal suit.I enjoyed the whole film, and it was near cathartic to hear the same frustrating answers given time and time again by every religion all over, be refuted. Henry Ian Cusick's acting was simply superb, and especially his (Frank's) speech where he claimed bad things happened to good people, vice versa, and that terrible things happened to innocent people, it was a sentiment I wholly agree with.Moreover, the part where the brother accuses Frank's lawsuit as having worsened his niece's cancer, it shows the unshakable, and in my opinion, unhealthy belief borne from people who cling to the idea of an omnipotent benevolent deity who they look to when they feel helpless, and yet hypocritically blame every other person for acts of misfortune, or blessings in disguise. She had cancer since the beginning, but no, that wasn't God. The prayers hadn't worked, again, God is faultless. But the condition worsens and coincidentally her uncle was doing something considered heretical, the fault now lies with him for cancer, of all things. Would a merciful god kill an innocent child who is simply a relative of the wrongdoer, as punishment for the wrongdoer's sins? If indeed this is the work of an almighty entity and by design, is this not cruel, no matter how as priests claim, us mortals cannot understand the methodology of god? Is such a god, even if they exist, worthy of worship?However, I do feel that the ending of this movie was somewhat self-undermining. No, I do not think he should have won against God, nor that it is even possible. It was simply a desperate move by somebody who did not care either way, who had, at the time of filing the suit, nothing to lose.My issue with the ending is that right after him acknowledging that it may have been a blessing in disguise (which can be grudgingly acknowledged as he lost a pet and material possessions but this set off a chain of events that led him to meet the partner he loves and recover from his grief), his following point where he says he accepts that senseless grief still exists in this world, is completely destroyed. The girl cured of cancer, the dog Brutus somehow alive, him getting stabbed and not dying, all existing and past problems resolved by simply letting go of his fight against god. I certainly like this outcome better than one mired in tragedy as a person (who would want an innocent girl with cancer to die?), but as the ending of a movie, in my opinion, the complete lack of any tragedy or loss, (even the dog that apparently died magically revived), completely undermines his point of there being senseless tragedy in the world, if looking at the film as a representative microcosm. A story of reflection that should have brought mixed emotions, ended on such a happy note that is odd given the nature of the film. It's like somebody pouring pepper on otherwise perfect fluffy pancakes.Also, does the niece being cured of cancer after the uncle stops fighting with God kind of low-key hint at God not killing her out of "divine retribution"? Or at least that would be how it would look to Frank's brother. But I suppose to the deeply religious, anything good that happens is surely god's gift, so it doesn't really matter.

aer71367-313-155069 A great film about a man that questions God after his home is destroyed in a tornado. This magical film will take you along for ride as one man tries to find out who God is. Filled with laughs and some real insight from many religious viewpoints. Frank vs. God is definitely a film everyone should see. Maybe it won't change your mind about God, but it will change your heart about God.

davidianchristine88 There are no words to describe the love I have for this little film! I have seen it multiple times at different festivals and have recommended the film to friends and family where ever I go. The writing was and is very clever, poignant and moving to someone like me who has had multiple struggles and disputes with questioning their faith and the existence of a higher power.The acting by both Ever Caradine and Henry Ian Cusick were nothing short of phenomenal and utterly moving in every sense of the word. I could really feel and understand what they were going through. They were very genuine in their performances; they spoke to my heart and hit right at home! The actors were both in-sync and the courtroom scenes just blew me away.They made me laugh, they made me smile and at times made me cry. The film made me understand what was important in life and that regardless and I will always treasure it for that. TERRIFIC FILM!!!

sistahic07 Had the good fortune to see this film 3 times at various film festivals and each time it grows dearer to me. I'm so excited it's finally going to get an official release on iTunes and on Demand. It's simply a beautiful film about love, loss, doubt and faith. Add in just the right amount of humor too and you have a film that will have you laughing and crying and certainly leave you with the feeling you've just had a wonderful viewing experience! Can't say enough about the wonderful acting of Henry Ian Cusick. He's a master at his craft and once more delights the viewer in every scene. Ever Carradine too is lovely and a joy to watch as well. From the writing to the direction (thank you Stewart Schill!) and to the talented cast, Frank VS God will surprise and entertain you and leave you feeling so good you watched it. Do yourself a favor and don't miss Frank VS God!
