This movie fails
workoutsmurf23 January 2020
Seriously? How can anyone take this "movie" seriously, even the title is false, "prayer never fails"?? The movie is slow, complete propeganda from the start, we see where washed-up actors go when they are no longer relevant or wanted by any other directors etc. Avoid this at all costs, unless you need a does of sub-par religious films.

Those mean secularists at it again

Eric Lashaway who sadly was killed shortly after this film's release stars as a Christian basketball coach. When one of his players comes to him with a problem the two go off and pray together on the subject.

Had he taken him off school grounds and done that no one would have had much grounds to complain. A troubled youth came to an adult he trusted. But Lashaway stepped on some toes and the administration was handed a sword.

The school retains high priced attorney Corbin Bernsen and Lashaway gets Clifton Davis as his lawyer.

One particular thing that offended me with this film was Davis drawing a comparison with a transgender faculty member who transitioned and openly discusses the transition with students. But firing this Christian coach shows the school administration is following the liberal agenda.

As it happens my niece was part of a protest to stand by a transgender teacher at her school when said school fired the person. I can tell you transgender folks face a lot more discrimination than Christian faculty members. do.

One performance that was moving was that of Cathy Lee Crosby as Lashaway's mother. Her fans should see this.

But they'll have to go to fundamentalist church basements to do it.

Good message
ruizjon2 May 2020
This movie had a great message. These are the actual guidance regarding prayer and schools.

He could have prayed with the student as long as he was not acting on his official capacity as a teacher.

Christian moral , Great Casting!

Wes Miller has brilliantly directed the movie in a way that is good for entire family to watch. Every one has their own opinions and their own beliefs hence we must stand up for personal rights! Actors did their dialogue good and background music was alright!

GREAT lineup of actors/actresses.

It does start out slow, but the action picks up.

GREAT message!

Some hater's gotta hate.

Warning: Spoilers
Funny that the hate filled "review" is the one that can be seen. This film had a great message, the fact that a student came to a teacher they trusted about an abusive, connected father for help when that student knew the character of the teacher, coach in this instance, and asked him to pray with him, and the coach was then fired when the abusive connected father tried to hit his son and the coach stopped it, brought on the rest of the movie. Some reviewers hate God, we understand that, but to make that the only review that can be seen is interesting. Sad to hear the actor who portrayed the main character of the movie died in a car accident before the movie was released.

Prayer Never Fails
digiteum9 May 2022
Enjoyed this movie -I need it! Although the movie was fictional I recall that through my life I've seen prayers answered and I'm still here today!

The film appears tt have been low-budget, but the story flowed.

The Characters came together and the message was told.

Worth Watching
hotjag-314326 March 2021
Though it does have a couple of goofs it has very good acting from main characters. Nick Lashaway has a very natural ability to become the character and not come across as an actor. Too bad he passed away soon after. Prayer is a beautiful thing for the believer but lost on the unbeliever. The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14

Excellent inspiring movie
soveryblessed-1067120 August 2022
Prayer Never Fails makes clear that prayer brings about the best results that God chooses for us. Though we may not know now what that purpose God chose for us, but we will one day. And we'll understand the goodness of that choice. So prayer never does fail.

The movie is realistic and inspiring. Well acted. We'd watch it again...and agsin.

Perfect for the time we live in
odie-988048 January 2023
Some people may not have liked this movie and it might have been a little slow. But there are so many different people and so many different Paths of life and we all face something at one time or another. And it is encouraging to know that prayer is still important in this world and believing in God is still alive in this Society when there are so many doubters. You never know what a person is going through how they will deal with things in their life but if there is a fun believing God then they know all things are possible no matter if others understand what they're doing what they're not. For me this movie was an inspiration because like I said we are all on different paths on our Journeys on this Earth till our next chapters.
