Synopsis
JESUS REVOLUTION is the story of one young hippie’s quest in the 1970s for belonging and liberation that leads not only to peace, love, and rock and roll, but that sets into motion a new counterculture crusade—a Jesus Movement—changing the course of history. Inspired by a true movement, JESUS REVOLUTION tells the story of a young Greg Laurie (Joel Courtney) being raised by his struggling mother, Charlene (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) in the 1970s. Laurie and a sea of young people descend on sunny Southern California to redefine truth through all means of liberation. Inadvertently, Laurie meets Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), a charismatic hippie-street-preacher, and Pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer) who have thrown open the doors of Smith’s languishing church to a stream of wandering youth. What unfolds becomes the greatest spiritual awakening in American history. Rock and roll, newfound love, and a twist of faith lead to a JESUS REVOLUTION that turns one counterculture movement into a revival that changes the world.

I can't believe they got Jesus to play Lonnie Frisbee

garrett thorneMar 3, 2023I had no interest in seeing this because my mom forced me to watch this since I made her watch The Whale. I can’t even begin to explain how bad my expectations were topped. I loved this. It’s one of those movies where it personally spoke to me and makes me wanna be a better…

playing the Dungeons & Dragons trailer before this is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen
Samuel BeasleyFeb 22, 2023“There’s an entire generation searching, just in all the wrong places.” Such a powerful experience for me. As a Christian, this hit me deeply and only strengthened my faith. To see a film of this subject matter get a worldwide release makes me so happy. If any of you could…
Lucas🃏Feb 23, 2023”They want peace & love… isn’t that something you want?” Well, I have to admit this one certainly preaches to its choir. I guess the challenge is, if you’re not actually part of the choir then this film just flat out preaches… and preaches and preaches and preaches…

A huge step forward for faith-based films. After years of mainstream cinema full of queer erasure in historical fiction, Christian filmmakers are proving they can do it too! At one point Kelsey Grammar as Pastor Chuck Smith says "Life without God is like tossed salad…
kevintporterJul 29, 2023Until seeing the film, the only thing I knew about the "Jesus Freak" movement or whatever was the DC Talk song of the same name. And, well, the movie does a good job of telling the story and showing little parts of the main characters' lives. For some reason, though,…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineFeb 24, 2023Review from an unbiased neutral standpoint: Jesus Revolution is a well-made, beautifully captured, powerful film about the Jesus movement that happened in the late 60s. Unlike Christian films usually go, this was extremely well done in comparison. You can tell that they…

I can’t describe how much I loved this movie, It was such an eye opener and Impacted my life so much🫶🥺. I couldn’t stop happy and sad crying the whole time 😭🥹 Jesus is moving in miraculous ways, I can’t wait to do his work and see it done. ❤️❤️
Jesse Haire lovedJesus Revolutionwas so so good!!! i’m very much a church girl, but this was so moving, shows what people who know nothing and who are looking for truth should look into love it
Obihulk lovedJesus Revolution8.9/10 I haven’t seen a religious film this good since “I can only imagine”. The film’s realistic discussion of religious beliefs and its challenges when being convicted of the sins that would be committed is something I applaud with recognition. It is believable to it’s ideals

It was a great eye opening movie it showed a lot to me about the time era of the 60s and how the hippies were treated one of my favorite Christian movies in awhile
Destin Sims lovedJesus Revolution10/10 Probably the Best Christian Movie Made to date. IMO.
Patri223 likedJesus Revolutionit's based on true events, I knew it before I watched but I couldn't believe how real it was. It made me feel understood, connected and not alone. For me it wasn't movie that leaves you with only good feelings but it touches your soul and makes you feel lots of diffrent emotions

One of the most amazing films I have seen in a long time. I cried from start to finish but they were tears of joy because I have seen Jesus move through his Holy Spirit in my life just as depicted in this movie. A must see.
JSJoyce ShaversWe need more films like this to give us hope in God during these turbulent times. Well done!
AFAshley FojutowskiFor someone who was just saved by Jesus Christ in October 2022, after trauma, pain, addiction and abuse, Jesus is moving so much right now! He wants to know you! I cried this entire movie because it was so much like my experience. 10/10

KBKevin BryanAn amazing movie and very well done. Pulls on the heart strings with joy and inspiration. Need more movies like this and what great acting by the cast. Will see again!
EDElizabeth DeMarcoGreat story about the Jesus movement and Pastor Greg Laurie’s journey to faith/salvation in Jesus Christ. Highly recommend seeing it !!!! Wonderful cast as well.
- BCBrian Chicoine
Amazing movie about the real-life Jesus Movement that shows that hearts can be changed when we meet the real Jesus and not the one packaged by society and even some "Christians." The movie shows that it isn't about us fitting Jesus in our box, it's about us being changed by…

MDMarci DauerJesus Revolution was terrific on so many levels! LOVED it! It's great for believers, seekers and those not yet showing interest! It was VERY well done.

Jesus Revolution is one of my favorite faith-based Christian movies, of which I’ve seen more than my fair share. I associate three things with faith-based films: bad acting, an outrageous, overly positive message, and a shoe-horned sermon. Thankfully, this film avoids all three elements.

It’s one of the most appealing faith-based big-screen entertainments in a while, polished and persuasive without getting too preachy.

Unfortunately, despite the interesting history, the film itself is a dry, scattered slog, neutered of all the thorny, contradictory details of the real story.
