I just found this film on Amazon's UP: FAITH AND FAMILY. It's a charming family film with wonderful songs! My two teenagers have watched the film three times now, and they are already singing along with the soundtrack. After some research I discovered that the leads of the film are all singers! Lee Roessler, playing the character of Will Blessing, and Brent Reed, the character of Dave Blessing, are both Christian Rock singers with numerous albums to their credit. Also, Kathryn Boswell, playing Casey Buckner, is a Broadway star from numerous award winning musicals. That explains it all!!
After being a rock star, Dave Blessing takes a job as the music minister a church in Punkyville, Kentucky. This is their chance to start over, and an opportunity to move Will away from the temptations of the big city. Punkyville is a small, eccentric town in the middle of Kentucky whose citizens odd but charming. Here's the catch...Will Blessing is not only a gifted musician, but Will also has a special spiritual gift. (That's all I'm going to say so that I don't give the story away.)
This film is more family than faith, so don't expect a heavy religious message. It's funny, sweet and a blast to listen to! I highly recommend it.
