I hadn’t seen the first movie so really didn’t expect to enjoy this one much, but I did. The cast was good and the fact that it’s a true story really made it resonate with me. No matter how bad things may be going for you, there’s always someone who has it worse AND there…

This 2nd installment continues to uplift and restore your faith in the higher power, but mainly believing in yourself and trusting hope. The world needs more of these films. This is part of the solution to fight against the negative.

I wasn’t expecting a 15 minute “intro” to the movie especially after sitting through 25 minutes of previews. My 5 pm movie didn’t start until 5:45. The movie was hard to follow in places and we considered leaving.

A lot doesn’t fit in the film and jumps to situations too quickly.

This movie is designed for an audience already dedicated to the music of Millard and Timmons, and to the particular Christian tradition they represent. Those who are already fans will appreciate this chance to share his story, but those who do not know him may find it uninspiring.

Laborious and dull, I Can Only Imagine 2 only comes to life in the comedic scenes featuring Ventimiglia, who buries his handsomeness in a buzz-cut, full beard, and Buddy Holly-style glasses to resemble Timmons.
