highly recommended

Jay Austin wants to sell you a used car, but watch out! Many victims have fallen prey to his smiling face and hasty promises. Austin does everything his way until his dishonesty and manipulation are repeatedly exposed. Like many men, he becomes disgusted by the masks he wears and lies he tells. While having a classic convertible repaired, Austin begins a humorous and inspiring journey to win back the hearts of his wife, his son, and his community. In every man's life, there can be a turning point. When Jay Austin makes his turn, he never looks back.

Another Must-See Movie!!

Wonderful film!! The characters are full of life and realistic. The storyline is one a majority of people can relate to. The message...it will change how you look at things!!

A must see!

The story is a good one. It upholds strong Christian values in life. It is a must see. The video quality is not perfect, but if you ignore some graineyness the story is great.

Outstanding Movie

Flywheel is an outstanding movie. A little too perfect, but it makes the point of the difference between a life sold out to God and one that is not.

Surprisingly Good for first movie

For a first movie, I was expecting some really poor cinematography, but it was really good. Well made, good acting, and great story-line. Good job guys.

Not bad

I wrote this review before Fireproof was out. I think Fireproof was the best movie of the three and didn't have a lot of the elements that I question below. With that, here's my review of Flywheel:

I enjoyed Facing the Giants, so I decided to rent Flywheel. It's not bad. Since it's Sherwood Baptist Church's first movie, and they were working with amateur cast and crew, I can forgive the camcorder type feel it has. Aside from the lack of technical proficiency (which improved greatly during Facing the Giants), it's a fairly decent movie. It felt a bit preachy (FTG was a lot preachier than this one), but I did like the fact that the main character's transformation seemed authentic. In addition, although I'm not for the "gospel of prosperity," it is refreshing to see a movie that shows that sometimes miracles can happen when one truly commits him/herself to their God (although I'm Christian, I believe there are other paths to God in addition to Christianity). I also felt refreshed to see a movie without profanity, sexual inuendos (or explicit sex), and so forth. I would feel comfortable showing this one (and FTG) to people of all ages. Even though I don't necessarily believe the message both movies try to send (I'm not fundamentalist, but am more moderate in my theology), I am still relieved to see a movie that sends a positive message. I hope their third film will have more of a mixed ending, instead of neat and tidy endings (like this one and FTG has), since life is more mixed than it is neat and tidy. Still, kudos to the congregation/movie team for two good efforts.
