I was able to watch the "documentary on the real life of Angus Buchan" before I actually viewed the DVD. The documentary was very inspiring. If you have a chance, make sure to view this also. I also noticed if you are viewing the comments under the buying section you can read all the reviews on one page, this is very helpful if there are a lot of reviews to read. If you are reading the reviews under the DVD rental section, however, you have to select each one to read.

Trying to be fair...

I agree with the concern over the very graphic portrayal of the boy being run over. I understand it really happened - I still didn't want to see it.

I agree the beginning of the movie can be tiresome because the father's bad behavior. But I resonates with the story of grace as he comes to know Christ as saviour.

Overall, I did enjoy the movie even with the subtitles. It was encouraging (though the boy's death is more than a bit disturbing).

I think a lot of us want give all Christian films 5 stars, but let's keep it real :)

Outstanding movie for adults. I'd say the lowest age would be 16 or so. My wife and I found the acting to be very good as well as the filming, the locations and the plot. This film is very emotional and inspirational. Great job film!

LIVING BY FAITH

The Holy Bible says,

Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what you do not see. (Hebrews 11:1).

Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe
that he exist and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6).

My righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.

(Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Habakkuk 2:4).


A faithful man will be richly blessed,....(Proverbs 28:20).

Kept wondering when the struggles would end, but it is true to life the way it really is and sometimes we have to wait and trust and wait some more before we get a breakthrough. Loved the ending. If we could only all have that kind of Faith.

Inspirational. This is how life can unfold. He doesn't bury his head in the ground and become a cessationist, but believes the Word of God. Raw Faith needed for men in the making.

Very Powerful! The husbands conversion is real and powerful.
I love the way the husband is shown from before he is saved...to after! What a dramatic difference!

some here have said that the husband is abusive..that is true, before he is saved! God gets ahold of him and transforms his life....and the lives of many others due to his obedience.

It amazes me how Awesome God is. God uses us in spite of our humanness. God's Love is so Great toward us. This movie portrays that beautifully. Enjoy! I would not recommend younger kids watching it due to one of the scenes involving a tractor accident.. Perhaps 10yrs and up (depending on the child).

To answer the critic about the scene about the little boy who was killed, if you will watch the documentary on the DVD this really happened. The best thing that I can say about this movie is that it is very real. It also shows that God is very real. The boy who played the part in the movie look just like Angus Buchan's nephew who was killed in the tragic tractor accident. The story is very accurate and there is precious little liberty taken with facts. The casting was some of the best I have ever seen in a movie from any country. Anyone who does not understand the language needs to watch it over and over again. This film will change their life. I know it did mine. I can certainly identify with Angus right now. I have lost everything and I only have my faith in God and my Christian brothers to lean on at this time. God bless Angus and his ministry in SA.

Not the best of movies, a lot of anger and immature behavior seen from the father (head of household). Was not interested in spending time observing or letting my family be influenced by what they were watching. We did not finish it to the end.

This is one of the best Christian movie I've ever seen! Some people complain that the accents make it difficult to understand but the movie comes with subtitles anyway. Not only that, their accents make the movie more real and true, close to the real thing. I have nothng but praise for this movie. Anyone Christian that would give this movie less than 5 stars would surprise me! What's just as compacting about this DVD is looking at the bonus section where you get to meet the real people and hear their story!

This movie easily ranks right up there with Flywheel, Facing the Giants, and Fireproof which are also some of my most favorite movies!

Prepare to be inspired. any true life movie or fiction that directs our attention wholeheartedly upon the Lord and His majesty is a top-rated movie in my book!

Fantastic movie. Faith building, great family film. One scene requires caution with young children. Special features were great, especially the interviews with the real Angus Buchan. Very encouraging toward acting on our faith. Great gospel message. Only reason we didn't give it 5 stars was because it was a bit long and slow in some places. Overall, however, it was fantastic. Highly recommend this film.

The story is immensely moving. The acting, especially that of the lead character, particularly good. It was a little hard to understand their accents at first (wish it had subtitles).

I gave it four, not five stars because PLEASE BEWARE: There is a tragic and VERY graphic accident that involves a beautiful young boy riding on a tractor. I do not recall ever giving away movie or book details in a review before however in this case, I feel the need to make an exception. It upset me greatly that they portrayed it in such horrifying detail. I even tried to fast forward to get past it but saw much more than I ever wanted to see.

Reminded me of a Disney feature (meant for children, supposedly safe to watch, but then they almost always add something evil and frightening in their films that terrifies young children).

EXCELLENT! but.... the reason i'm only giving it 4 stars is because the accents are so thick that in many scenes, you can't understand what is being said. otherwise, i can't say enough about this movie! the acting was superb! the journey of this man's faith was quite amazing. before giving his life to Christ, he was full of rage and prone to drinking. the transformation from an angry, sometimes abusive jerk to a loving, compassionate man with a deep and abiding faith in God was beautiful to watch.

We thought this was an excellent movie. It's dramatic, honoring to God, and is quite inspiring. Our 8 year old daughter was able to watch this with us. There are a few scenes that we monitored (the husband gets severely drunk and can be abusive toward others), but it wasn't too much for our child. I would not recommend it for younger children. It's more of a tween to adult movie. The conversion of this man was amazing and made us want to read the book too. The acting is excellent!!! A must watch. We own this movie. It's a long movie but is engaging to the very end.

The movie Faith Like Potatoes was VERY slow getting started. But it had a very good plot. There were some very inspiring scenes and really made me think about how 'childlike' we need to not only give voice to our faith but to to practice it. This is certainly an adult film as I think children would be very bored.

What an inspiring movie. This accurately portrayed how unsettling life can be before Christ transforms us to new creations, and what a great a mighty work the Lord can do if we make ourselves available to Him. It's not often we can see what a wholly commited life can be like but Angus Buchan certainly reveals that in this story. Beautifully displays conversion, dedication of purpose, integrity, comfort in the midst of unbelievable sorrow and total dependence on the Lord and His direction in life. I loved watching all the behind the scenes bits on this DVD as well. God especially loves to work out His purposes through seemingly vast impossibilities. What an awesome God we serve!!!

One of the best Christian movies my wife and I have seen in a while. We thought the acting was good, the portrayal of conversion, realistic, (as we have witnessed such salvation experiences) and the whole story very inspiring, challenging, and moving. I was stirred to pursue with greater passion my own purpose in God. The only criticism would be that the beginning was a bit slow-moving, in my opinon. Overall, however, I would recommend Faith Like Potatoes with 4 stars!

This is an awesome film, of a man that was angry, bitter, full of pride and very much in the world BUT God had a plan and an amazing purpose for Angus and his family. See God transform someone before your very eyes, who now preaches to thousands.

The film is very real and very touching. Have tissues on hand!!
