Christian Movie Reviews: Faith Like Potatoes

Based on a true story, Faith Like Potatoes tells of a struggling hot tempered Scottish farmer named Angus who attempts to make a living during tumultuous times in South Africa. Angus Buchan (Frank Rautenbach), his pregnant wife Jill (Jeanne Wilhelm), and his 3 children settle down on a dilapidated plot of land in South Africa to build a life away from the mounting violence where they had just come. Unfortunately, Angus possesses his own turbulent lifestyle with bursts of anger and fits of rage when things don’t go as smoothly as he plans. His life becomes consumed by his work and all the troubles that it seems to bring. At the prompting of his wife, he reluctantly attends a church service which awakens him to the spiritual void in his life. This awakening then sets off an evangelical rollercoaster ride that ultimately and quite miraculously confirms and strengthens his walk of faith.

Recommendation: This is a great movie that speaks volumes of a life lived in faith. The fact that it is based on a true story only amplifies the intensity and struggle that a spirit lead individual endures during their walk of faith. My Christian Movie Reviews highly recommends this to more mature audiences due to an accident scene and some mild language.
