The Romantic Comedy with Spirit. Divine Intervention is a comedy about a young, hip preacher who becomes the temporary pastor of a small fundamentalist Baptist church in Los Angeles when the long presiding pastor has to take an indefinite leave of absence after suffering a stroke. The handsome and stylish Reverend Robert Gibbs flashy and hip style of preaching is immediately embraced by members of the now growing congregation, but is frowned upon by his predecessor, the stern and traditional Reverend Matthews, who does not agree with Gibbs trendy tactics or the new commercialized direction in which the church is headed. Coincidentally, Reverend Gibbs eventually stumbles upon a young lady who sparks his interest but presents a challenge to him. The young, lovely, and witty schoolteacher Divine, initially unbeknownst to Reverend Gibbs, is the daughter of Reverend Matthews and she has lost her faith in God due to losing her mother several years back to cancer. Reverend Gibbs tries to win her over while restoring her faith in God and steering clear of her dry humored and overly protective father in the process. Reverend Matthews prospects of returning to the church eventually lessen and Reverend Gibbs moves closer to assuming a permanent role as pastor of the church. That is until he meets even stronger opposition in the jealous and scandalous Deacon Wells, who attempts to uncover some elements of Reverend Gibbs past which may prevent him from winning the seat of permanent pastor of the church and more importantly, a place in the heart of Divine. Divine Intervention is a funny, upbeat spiritual journey about romance, religion, and scandal that will succeed with the ever popular and abundant, urban churchgoing audience and general viewers will embrace it for its warmth, humor and controversy.

A Spiritual Lift
Betrayal from a loved one runs deep and affects perspective regarding others. Finding your wife in the bed with another woman can be traumatizing to the most spiritual person, and it certainly leaves a bitter taste in one's mouth and a tainted view of others. Corruption in secular lives has nothing on the blatant manipulations in the church. Yet, the movie demonstrates that people can move forward after a tragedy and live life to the fullest. This is a particularly compelling movie that most should watch; especially believers.

pretty good movie
I really enjoyed this movie, this is more of a movie when u just want to relax, kick your feet back and watch a good family movie. Wesley Jonathan is an extraordinary actor, and the rest of the cast was not bad at all. Divine Intervention captures alot of realistic issues that christians face in the real world.

Not Bad
This movie wasn't bad, and actually it proves that you don't need a big budget to tell a good story, and bring it to life. The acting was good, the plot was cool, and for a shoestring budget, outside of the picture quality (which wasn't the best) you can see a lot of hard work went it to it by all, and it looked like they had fun working on this project.

film review
Started to watch this film which I hoped might be mildly interesting but it's a boring, cheap made for tv job. Also didn't watch the whole film as it stopped abruptly etween a few scenes as if the disc was damaged so i returned it. very disappointing.
