Reviews

WWJD: What Would Jesus Do? has received a mixed reception from critics and audiences alike. The film currently holds a rating of 4.8 on IMDb, indicating a somewhat lukewarm response. Critics have pointed out that while the film aims to provide an uplifting and inspirational message, its execution lacks depth. According to a review on Rotten Tomatoes, 'The film offers a timely reminder of the moral quandaries we face, but struggles to deliver a compelling narrative to keep the audience engaged.' Many viewers appreciated John Schneider's performance, noting that he 'brings charisma and sincerity to his role.' However, others have remarked that the film tends to veer into preachiness rather than insightful storytelling. As one reviewer on Metacritic stated, 'Despite its noble intentions, the movie often feels like a vehicle for a message rather than an actual story.' Overall, while WWJD resonates with some as a faith-based film, it leaves critics and audiences yearning for a more nuanced approach to its themes.
