Father Stu
God wanted a fighter… and He found one.
The true-life story of boxer-turned-priest. When an injury ends his amateur boxing career, Stuart Long moves to Los Angeles to find money and fame. While scraping by as a supermarket clerk, he meets Carmen, a Sunday school teacher who seems immune to his bad-boy charm. Determined to win her over, the longtime agnostic starts going to church to impress her. However, a motorcycle accident leaves him wondering if he can use his second chance to help others, leading to the surprising realization that he's meant to be a Catholic priest.

Pha-Q woke
Excellent Movie
I didn't see anything woke. This seems to be pretty close to the actual true story. His real girlfriend was Mexican so that is accurate casting. Great acting all around and very interesting story. Well written and told and actual funny humor. Well worth a watch.

Packs a punch
Based on a true story, Father Stu is packed with good acting. Mel Gibson disappears into his role as the father, and Mark Wahlberg is stupendous as the Father. Although heavy on religion, it works as a pure drama even if you are not religious. Nothing woke.
I was asking Microsoft Copilot (GPT) about this movie, and then when I asked what other films Mark Wahlberg had appeared in, Copilot replied:
"I know elections are an incredibly important topic, but they’re not something I can talk about."
There is no politician named Mark Wahlberg, but Mark holds conservative political views and supports Donald Trump. Curious, I tried in a fresh session just asking, "Who is Mark Wahlberg?" and Copilot gave the same elections non-answer. In contrast, OpenAI ChatGPT correctly gives his background as an actor. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I kind of think MICROSOFT MUST BE DESTROYED!

I used to make fun of Marky Mark
and I still do.
Mark Wahlberg, on the other hand, has really grown over time.
Mel Gibson is excellent, as expected.
Great story, honest movie, worth the time.
