So refreshing. For someone who has collected a lot of christian movies I must they that Hidden Secrets has been a nice suprise. It was funny, thought provoking, realistic, true to the Gospel and professionally made.

Very good Drama...

This is a great movie with a powerful message. Christian message comes through loud and clear, but is not "preachy". Get it.

I saw this in the theater as a sneak preview long, long ago. I was eager to take friends to see it, but it was never released. Now I guess I will just purchase copies for Christmas gifts.

Good story. Every one has a secret - and all is revealed and the healing begins by the end.

Since it begins at the funeral of a common friend, it reminded me of a Christian "Big Chill."

Can't wait for the release of the DVD

I found Hidden Secrets to be very uplifting in spite of some very heavy themes. The film revolves around the love a group of people share for a friend (and brother in one case) who had recently died. From this group of people, we can see the impact that one person can have on other people's lives. Through this, we see many different levels of faith played out in the relationships, from unbeliever to convicted fundamentalist. It is an interesting study on the interplay of life and faith. The movie is written from a Christian standpoint, and that comes through clearly throughout the movie. There were periods in the film where I felt some disconnect as the writer tried to cover a large spectrum of levels of faiths. I would have happily endured another 20 minutes to see a bit more character development to flesh out some of the relationships and background story that would've filled the gaps later on as the movie progressed. In spite of these small points where I wanted more, the film was well done, well acted and very well filmed. I appreciate this kind of film, and hope film makers like this are encouraged in the marketplace to continue to produce and to improve the film industry. I fully recommend it, and will likely be watching it again soon with my wife. I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars!

As a side bonus, the music in the movie was outstanding. Rachel Lampa and Building 429 provide a good chunk of music in the film, and it is excellent.

I got this movie for Christmas. I read all the reviews and watched the trailer and read the back of the dvd to find out what it was about. I asked for it for Christmas so if it was bad I wouldn't have to worry about money badly spent. After watching this movie it was made clear to me that it was worth every penny I would have spent on it. It was funny, insightful and it dealt with more than one issue of secret sin. Each character was dealing with or was getting over a secret sin. The main point of this movie is God's forgiveness. Sometimes it's easy to feel forgiven by God, but it's hard for us to forgive ourselves. Or on the other hand it's hard to come to terms that we deserved to be forgiven at all. It has comedy, drama, good music and just plain fun. Buy it new or used or even rent it, but it's worth it. Not all Christian films have to be about the end times lol. But if you like end times go buy or watch the Left Behind series. For a fun film I highly recommend this movie, thank you for reading.

Hi :) I bought this dvd from Becca's Books & More. The box & dvd came in excellent shape just as described and came within a few days! I was very well pleased with the whole entire transaction.

Would definitely do more business with Becca's Books & More. Great job, Becca!!! :)

(P.S. This is an excellent movie, one that everyone should watch!!! Very well done! Very heart-warming movie! Well worth the money you pay for it and then some!!!).

John Schneider from "The Dukes of Hazzard" plays a sceptic who is great fun in this movie, as the two other main characters find the lost romance from ten years ago coming alive again. There's a lot of great guy jokes and fun here and some good acting. Another theme concerns a Christian woman who is all judgement -doom and gloom - and she gets to drink her own medicine at the end of the movie.

When they advertised this, they said it was a new form of Christian movie, not the usualy one, two, three...pray of repentance. They were right. This is a good movie. It was great.

Great story line.... of course from the original..but certainly offers a much more realistic and honest approach to this tough life situation. The acting was great. The ending more than great. One of the best movies I've ever seen. John Snyder was a kick! I wish there were more like this.

So true to life. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, we are told "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
Christ died for all sins, not just for some. His blood washes away all sins, not just some. We should not judge. Very uplifting and will encourage you.

What an awesome movie. One of our hobbies would be collecting Christian movies from the beginning of them, until present. I would have to say, this movie was so very well thought out, from the writing down to the actors chosen to perform, that it just brings the whole package to a level of very good quality.

The story begins with several friends meeting at the funeral of a mutual friend after years of not seeing each other or keeping up with their lives. As the story unfolds, you have perspective of each of the lives represented there...the past and present. There is one character, Rhonda, whose personal goal it is, to save the world...by shoving it down everyone's throat...even the already saved! Skeletons begin to fall out of private closets revealing the most secret sins. But by coming together, they help each other through and experience love and forgiveness they never thought possible.

A very good film.!
