Confessions of a Prodigal Son
As you can guess from the title, the movie Confessions of a Prodigal Son is a modern retelling of the old, familiar story from the Bible. Confessions of a Prodigal Son, 96 minutes, stars Kevin Sorbo, Nathan Clarkson, Rachael Lee,
Sean (Nathan Clarkson) rebels against his parents and their rules. He leaves his home, family and father, who is a pastor, (Kevin Sorbo) to figure out life on his own. Before he leaves, he demands that his parents give him what is rightfully his. His college fund.
While in college, he is confronted by a professor (Darwin Harris) who challenges Sean to see his life as a story. What do you want your story to say? How do you want your story to end?
Sean’s best friend is walking a dangerous path in life, and is bringing Sean right along with him. Sean meets a strong and beautiful young woman (Rachael Lee), with her own story to tell, and she does not want any part of Sean’s current lifestyle.
Due to a series of unfortunate events, all brought on my Sean’s own actions, he finds himself with no where to go, and with nothing to call his own, except a small box of belongings. Sean heads to church to see if his pastor father, and his mother, will have anything to do with him.
Confessions of a Prodigal Son is a story of drama, laughter, relationships, faith, and redemption, ultimately asking the question “Can broken stories have happy endings?”
The Confessions of a Prodigal Son soundtrack features songs from popular Christian artists Andrew Peterson and Window View.
Confessions of a Prodigal Son releases on dvd on March 24. This movie is not rated, but if it were, it most likely would be rated PG-13 due to repeated scenes of alcohol drinking, in my opinion. Confessions of a Prodigal Son is a great movie for families of teenagers to watch together.
