	Media	Author	Review
		Joe Leydon Variety	"A predictable yet pleasant faith-based dramedy about a former child star who gets a shot at redemption."
		AV Club	"Like so many movies designed for believers first and ordinary sinners second, if at all, Gavin Stone has trouble approximating the sensibility of actual entertainment and is particularly deadly as a comedy."
		Katie Walsh Seattle Times	"Technically it’s a comedy, but laugh-out-loud this is not. It’s much lighter than most faith-based films (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Luke Y. Thompson Forbes	"Its tale of a cynical man who ultimately comes to believe has the inevitable arc of a sermon, yet it differs from so many others by also being a comedy."
		Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"While it's got its charms, it's far from likely to bring in any new converts (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"
