I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

When will film makers get it? The WHOLE movie is important! For any great story to be great, and this includes any story, from Shakespeare to Stephen King, The WHOLE story should be told! A beginning, a middle and an ending. So often "cutting edge" film makers think they are being smart leaving an ending you have to work out for yourself. Personally I wish this trend would cease and we could then get back to some good storytelling!This film starts great, a wonderful story of a young priest and a lost young woman who needs guidance. I was hooked until the very last couple of minutes. No, you have not given me something to ponder about! I am an adult with a life! I watch films like this for a little escapism and to feel good. I feel as though you stole my thunder!!! Instead of coming away feeling happy that these two young people have found each other and the loves of their lives, I have come away feeling jaded and resentful.I wanted the kiss, the dream! Hell, if I wanted morals and to think about what's right I wouldn't be watching a movie. I'd be dealing with my own crap!!!!

The first hour was mind numbingly slow. The ending was as predictable as any other random chick flick. From a production standpoint The Good Catholic leaves much to be desired. It's 2017 and we're still making movies about priests falling in love? I sort of expected something that would make me think a bit more. From a catholic perspective it's clear the movie is an attack on clerical celibacy and pre-k bible interpretation. From a critical perspective, please save your time and money and spend 90 minutes doing something else instead of watching this low budget, predictable, and theologically infantile made for TV movie.

A lot to think about, that's what this film gives you;there will be laughs,and also tense and sad moments;my friends and I had an interesting discussion after watching it, but most of all :no one liked the end ... frustrating ...you see, there's a lot of stories with 'open ends',and most of the times it works; as for this one, we all wanted to see EVERYTHING on the screen,without having to decipher anything at all.Wren Schmidt is lovely here;Glover:finest work ever;Mcginley, hilarious as usual but also moving(must see);Spicer was a revelation to us: very good acting.Don't miss this film!

Enjoyed the development of the relationship between faith and love in a story with interesting, well developed characters. Funny and sad issues that adults can relate to presented in a compelling and entertaining story. Well worth seeing with friends and discussing after. The filming and photography struck me as excellent. Set in small town America, the story presents challenges and moral issues faced by everyone.
