Summary: Not exactly "Christian"!
Review: If your idea of becoming a Christian is to be dunked in the baptismal waters, you might enjoy this movie. Otherwise, stay away from it. The main female character has a very rotten attitude, and her endless complaining gets old after a while. There is not word of her repenting or trusting the Lord for a change in attitude. She simply gets baptized, and we are supposed to believe that everything is different now.
I would recommend you try a different movie for entertainment or spiritual edification.

Summary: Very inspiring and realistic!!!
Review: The promos of this film state that this "...a soulful saga of redemption and forgiveness, played to perfection," and I couldn't agree more.In one of his rare moments in films lately, Burt Reynolds portrays "Eli Zeal," a shopkeeper who learns about forgiveness and that is truly human to make mistakes. With an ensemble cast which includes April Grace, Whitman Mayo, Orlando Jones, Ja'net Dubois, and Anthony Lee, this is a marvelous film and it is filled with powerful performances from this cast. The movie is heartwrenching and the music is equally phenomenal in its depiction of life in the deep South. Prepare yourself for some profound story telling. Highly recommended!!!

Summary: WONDERFUL Movie!
Review: This is an adorable feel-good movie. The story begins with an armed robbery of a grocery in Washington D.C. A 10-year old African-American boy ends up shooting a somewhat elderly Jewish man. What follows is an poignant journey to Waterproof, LA--home of the boy's mother, and a place that offers both pain and healing. At its core, this is a story of redemption for all of the characters--and there are many. Waterproof offers tender, yet sturdy spirituality. It points to truth as the ultimate medicine to heal troubled lives. While well-meaning lies unravel, truth brings pain and shame, but also freedom and hope. The acting is powerful in its subtlety and believability. The characters let the plot and dialogue carry the story along, rather than forcing their talent to overshadow this incredible tale. There is emotion--real and dramatic--but its never shrill--never coerced. The bottom line is that this is a family movie with strong story and acting. There is much here that will draw out discussion and thought. Buy, rent or borrow this film--but see it!

Summary: Some good - some bad
Review: This movie has so many ups and downs it is hard to rate.
I believe the fillers (parts with Burt Reynolds suffering or just lying around) waste this movie away.
There are some amazing performances by April Grace, Orlando Jones, and Ja'net Dubois, but the film just falls a little flat in my view. I think most people will enjoy the film, but I think it could have been written a little better. The beginning is a bit confusing and needed more set-up...you'll see what I mean if you watch it.
I give it three stars for the good acting by half of the cast.
I would like to see Burt Reynolds do more Christian based movies though. He was awesome in Smokey and The Bandit!
See ya next review.

Summary: Heavenly Surprise
Review: This movie is just a wonderful piece of human drama that echos with a heavenly chorus of redemption. If there is any movie that will move the heart this is it. The section on the making of Waterproof was such a wonderful bit of info that it is a must to review.

Summary: TRULY UPLIFTING AND INSPIRING!
Review: Wow, this film is incredible! I just finished watching it about twenty minutes ago (I got it as a Christmas present from my par...er, Santa Claus). It's been awhile since I've seen a film so uplifting. The story was written perfectly, and the acting performances were exceptional. This is, by far, Burt Reynold's best performance. A great tale of family, faith, and forgiveness that no one should miss! Grade: A+ *NOTE: Most of the film was shot in the city of Wilmington, in my home state of North Carolina.
