Based on a true story, Father Stu is an unflinchingly honest, funny and ultimately uplifting drama about a lost soul who finds his purpose in a most unexpected place. When an injury ends his amateur boxing career, Stuart Long (Mark Wahlberg) moves to L.A. dreaming of stardom. While scraping by as a supermarket clerk, he meets Carmen (Teresa Ruiz), a Catholic Sunday school teacher who seems immune to his bad-boy charm. Determined to win her over, the longtime agnostic starts going to church to impress her. But surviving a terrible motorcycle accident leaves him wondering if he can use his second chance to help others find their way, leading to the surprising realization that he is meant to be a Catholic priest. Despite a devastating health crisis and the skepticism of Church officials and his estranged parents (Mel Gibson and Jacki Weaver), Stu pursues his vocation with courage and compassion, inspiring not only those closest to him but countless others along the way.

I didn't look at the trailer nor did I look up the info about the movie. Went in totally oblivious as to what to expect. \r\n\r\nI loved it from beginning to end. If I had to sum it up in 1 word, I'd say inspirational. Definitely worth seeing. Tearjerker for sure.

Already recommended it to others, including my 79 year old parents. Moving and inspiring picture. At no point did the movie get dull or drag on, and it is not like some of the other recent faith based movies that make life look like a day in church solves everything. Father Stu battled life and himself the whole way. What a motivational film.
