Holy Joe (1999) Reviews
Great Movie
Good movie to watch. Very realistic portrayal of the common man, family, people. I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for some inspiration and reflection in addressing realistic common everyday problems. The movie is addressed to all who experience pain and suffering and that by praying to God for help sometimes we get the "push" to live and lead our lives according to God's plan. Although the movie speaks of the Christian religion its message is universal: lead your life to help others. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Love your children, your neighbor, your family. That seems the common thread. From a cinematic perspective, the fact the audience "sees" the miracle it provides the empathy for the hero of the movie.
I wrote it
I am the guy that wrote the picture. The director, Larry Peerce, directed "Goodbye Columbus." I don't think that I can really give an objective view of this movie. I love everything I write. It took us four years to get the networks to agree to do this. In Hollywood, anything with a positive spin on religion is automatically suspect. CBS seems to be the only network that is willing to do things like this. I also have written other films and a memoir. If you want to know more, please visit my homepage
Very good movie, unusual story line for this day and age!
Mr. Ritter, Ms. Baxter and the cast gave life to subject matter which often gets lost in this day and age. The moral and "there is a purpose to things" aspects of the film were very refreshing. There should be more like these - congratulations to CBS and everyone involved!
An Awesome Movie!!!
As a Christian I can say that this movie really touched me. It was a wonderful and inspiring film which every Christian and non-Christian should see. It gave a wonderful message about faith in God and how we can all be saved by Jesus' love and grace...I highly recommend this film!!! :)
Wholly wonderful, a great inspiration to everyone, everywhere; Ritter is very special
Episcopal Father Joe Cass (John Ritter) has a shrinking congregation in California wine country. Its hard to see why, for the man gives heartfelt sermons and is extremely kind and generous to all. However, he is having problems with a rebellious teenage son, besides day to day troubles for his two daughters. Thank goodness wife Annie (Meredith Baxter) is very supportive, as is a wealthy vineyard owner (Linda Purl) who asks the Father to bless her crop while making large donations to the church. The Mexican day laborers at the vineyard are not on the receiving end of her generosity but Father Joe loves them, especially a large family with a small son named Ezekiel. As a volunteer firefighter, too, Joe is always busy. One day the unthinkable happens. Ezekiel's home catches on fire, with the little boy inside while everyone else gets out safely. Sure enough, it is Father Joe who breaks protocol to save the boy, at great danger. It appears hopeless for a moment until a tall, mysterious fireman aids Joe and Zeke's escape. Tears of joy flow. But, while Joe thinks they were rescued by a fellow firefighter who just doesn't want to take credit, Ezekiel believes it was Christ, dressed as a fireman. The small lad has said he has seen Jesus before and its him. No matter what happened, Joe is famous. Now, his congregation is growing leaps and bounds, so much so that a larger church farther north would like to lure him there. But, does Joe want to leave the town he loves? What about Annie and the kids, what do they want? This great movie is certainly a far cry from Ritter's Threes Company but it is nonetheless excellent. Ritter is wonderful as the caring Father Joe and he stills gets a chance to exhibit some scenes of humor. Baxter, Purl and all of the others are very nice, too. The California scenery is most lovely and the film looks great and moves along nicely. Most importantly, this is an outstanding faith based film which would do wonders for all Christians everywhere. Miracles still happen and Christ walks among us to help when needed most. Does your church want to host a movie night as a benefit to the congregation and a means to welcome new friends? You could do no better than to feature Holy Joe.
