Father Stu was so much more than I was expecting. Mark Wahlberg really nailed it. I could feel his pain and suffering and the faith that he developed. The transition that his character goes through is remarkable.
This was based on a true story, my heart goes out to this guy. At every attempt of doing the right thing, he is struck down with another obstacle again and again. Through his perseverance and faith, he still kept trying. He never quit, even when his body was quitting on him.

Anyone that needs help being strong and courageous should totally watch this movie. Anyone that is feeling beat down by life should totally watch this movie. It was very well done and had an amazing cast. Everyone shined in their own way.
My only negative thing to say is that it was quite long. It did kind of dip for a bit but they picked it back up and finished strong. Hmmm, that kind of sounds like a description of Father Stu.
I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.
Grade: B+
About The Peetimes: I’ve got the Peetimes spread out enough to get you through the movie. The 2nd Peetime is traumatic so I’m definitely going to recommend that one.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Father Stu.

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
