Today I want to share with you all my take on two movies I watched with my family through the Christian streaming service Pureflix.
The first movie is "God's Not Dead: We the People." When Pureflix had a limited viewing of this movie last year in November, I was able to watch then, but with all the excitement around Christmas, I didn’t get a chance to share a review. However, I recently noticed, the movie returned this March to Pureflix, so I gave it a re-watch and decided this was a great time to finally share my thoughts.

| "God's Not Dead: We the People" |
Before I share my review (below), if you don’t have Pureflix, you’ll be happy to know that "God's Not Dead: We the People" is available to watch through Prime Video, and it's also available on DVD at Amazon, Walmart, etc…
You can also find this movie in a 4 movie DVD collection, which includes all of the "God's Not Dead" films. (By the way, the second movie in the series stars Melissa Joan Hart ("Mistletoe in Montana," "Dear Christmas") and Jesse Metcalfe ("Martha's Vineyard Mysteries," "Harmony from the Heart"), and it is an excellent, uplifting story!)
In addition to "God's Not Dead: We the People," I recently viewed another movie on Pureflix that might be of interest to many of you. The movie is a lighthearted rom-com titled "The Clue to Love". It’s from the production company Reel One Entertainment, which is where UPtv acquires many of their new movie premieres. Hopefully, they will acquire this one day, but until then, "The Clue to Love" is available to stream through Pureflix and Prime Video; plus, it is available on DVD, as well, at Amazon, Walmart, etc…

God’s Not Dead: We the People - Movie Review
Intense! Powerful! Uplifting! “God’s Not Dead: We the People” (the fourth film in the “God’s Not Dead” series) is an inspirational Christian film about standing up for our religious rights. Specifically in this film, homeschool parents are targeted for teaching the Bible in their homes and not the standard curriculum taught in public schools. It was incredibly moving to see this group of parents and their pastor, Reverend David Hill, (portrayed by actor/producer, David A.R. White) stand up for their beliefs and take their case all the way to Washington, D.C. I believe this movie will embolden you in your faith, encourage you in your commitment to stand on God’s Word, and invigorate you in your strength to fight for your freedom, no matter the cost.
The movie also had a wonderful cast, with Christian singer, Francesca Battistelli, as Rebecca McKinnon, one of the main homeschool parents, actor Antonio Sabato Jr., as Rebecca’s incredibly supportive husband, actor Isaiah Washington, as Congressman Daryl Smith, who helps to defend religious liberties, and Fox News host, Judge Jeanine Pirro was truly dynamic as Judge Neely, whose role was pivotal to the entire film.
Another beautiful touch to this impactful film, were the meaningful and heartwarming flashbacks to previous “God’s Not Dead” movies. The moral of the story is... how far are you willing to go to stand up for your beliefs? “God’s Not Dead: We the People” is family friendly – a perfect movie for believers, churches, homeschool families, youth groups, etc... This film is a perfect reminder of how fragile our freedoms are, and that message is even more meaningful in the world we live in today.

The Clue to Love - Movie Review
(Note: I watched "The Clue to Love" through Pureflix)
Extra! Extra! Read All About It! "The Clue to Love" is such a cute family friendly rom-com with charming banter that revolves around a newspaper business and stars Rachel Bles (“Cooking Up Love”) as Audrey Harper and Travis Milne (who I just loved as Charlie Baker in “A Gift Wrapped Christmas”) as Morgan Cooper. Both are newspaper reporters; however, Audrey is learning to write her stories with a little more heart, as Morgan, the Editor in Chief, has shown in his award winning articles. As Audrey shadows Morgan at the Hope Cove Beacon Newspaper, she discovers the identity of the person who writes the infamous local advice column, Ask Aunt Hope, is a secret and she is determined to figure out who the person is. Morgan and Audrey have wonderful chemistry together, and there’s some interesting tension at the newspaper on whether or not Morgan’s father will sell the family business. Plus, Morgan is beginning to wonder if he can trust Audrey, since she is connected with the big city newspaper that wants to purchase Hope Cove’s small town paper.
Overall, here’s my exclusive scoop… "The Clue to Love" is a very sweet story, with a little bit of mystery and heartfelt moments. I hope to see it on UPtv some day!

Note: I noticed Amazon has this movie rated as TV-14 and I can't imagine why. I personally didn't see any content that required this rating when I watched this movie through Pureflix, and to my knowledge, the movie was not edited in any way. In fact, I checked the time on the DVD versus the time of the movie at Pureflix, and it was actually a few minutes longer at Pureflix. So, that rating makes no sense to me at all. What I saw was a decent, lighthearted movie.
UPDATE - Another Movie Review:
"The Clue to Love that was shown in Canada had a man making a comment about his Husband not letting him see their baby. It was fairly close to the beginning when Rachel Bles is having a meeting with the people at the newspaper. It shows the guy answering his cell phone talking about the surrogate about to have the baby and then he makes the comment about his husband. The US version must have removed that comment." ~Anonymous
*Note #2: I spoke to Pureflix and they said some of the movies are edited by the companies before they are submitted to Pureflix. So... the version I watched must have been edited. Please know, I'm not sure what is on the DVD.
I sincerely hope you enjoyed reading my reviews for both of these movies.
Blessings to you all, Net
