I am not exactly one who binge-watches Christian movies but I watch some from time to time if they star actors or actresses that I like. And since DIAL A PRAYER stars one of the actors of the group of which I have to complete all their movies, I knew that I had to give this a try, and it was ok.
Cora (Brittany Snow) is a troubled young woman that works in a prayer call center and every day she answers lots of calls by people with any problem you can imagine, and she feels that is reconciling with her troubled past helping other people and also bringing faith to the others. One day she falls for Chase, a young man that spent some jail time just like Cora that has committed some crime and they feel to have lot in common despite she thinks that is not fair that a woman in her job falls for one who answers her calls. How it will unfold, it's best if you see it for yourselves.
The acting by Snow was good and it was nice seeing William Macy (an actor that looks natural in nearly everything he does) as the minister. However, few things prevented me to give it a higher score. First, it's never made clear what is the crime Cora did, nor that it's even hinted to it. Second, the acting at half way became stilted but thankfully improved and if there wasn't the sweet ending, it would have never improved.
Not to be missed if you are into Christian movies, and as for the others, it's just decent and harmless entertainment.
