The Resurrection of Gavin Stone

2017 · 91 min

A gentle, good-natured redemption story with mild laughs and earnest church-community warmth, easy to watch and never harsh.

Tagline
If church can change him it will take a miracle.
Overview
Gavin Stone, a washed-up former child star, is forced to do community service at a local megachurch and pretends to be Christian so he can land the part of Jesus in their annual Passion Play, only to discover that the most important role of his life is far from Hollywood.
