Thought provoking film. 
2008-08-27
I was flipping through my Sky Angel the other day and saw this was one of their movies on their videos on demand.
Being a Christian and seeing this movie was really challenging. It's almost everyday i wonder what it would be like if Jesus were alive today. This movie made me realize that i should take every person I meet as if they were Jesus, because you never know what might happen.
If you guys don't have Sky Angel, you should really check it out. It's great knowing I can watch any of the movies on there with my kids and there won't be a problem.
a good example of God's love.

This movie is about how we can fix broken relationships through a walk with our Saviour through the garden of life (eternal life preparation). It is fine to share with non-Christians who need to understand a loving God.
A Personal Savior 2008-07-26
This movie simply does an excellent job of presenting Jesus Christ as a very personal, loving savior. But at the same time it makes clear his divinity and omnipotence. Plain and simple. A fascinating concept for a movie.
Enter a special world one-on-one with Jesus 2008-07-06
Everything Jesus says and does in this movie is consistent with the New Testament scriptures, but takes place in a modern setting. Jesus as portrayed by Jefferson Moore (who also portrayed Christ in the Louisville Passion Play) is a wonderful combination of gentleness and strength. Jesus' answers to questions and objections to the faith are fresh and well-reasoned, although understandably brief, to fit the pace of the movie. Regardless of whether or not you are a believer, you are sure to find the Q-and-A thought-provoking.
I had seen "My Dinner With Andre" years ago, so I knew that a movie featuring two people talking over dinner for the entire movie could actually be quite interesting. Sure enough, I found myself feeling enraptured, like I had entered a very special world and found myself experiencing the emotions of Nikki, as she went through a full character arc during the course of the dinner, climaxed by her emotional farewell to Jesus afterward. Another reviewer found the farewell maudlin, but I felt it was right on target. The movie was quite moving, and would probably make a great introduction to the Gospel message for people who are turned off by "religion", as I once was. (Funny thing is, I still am-- it turns out you don't have to be into "religion" to be a follower of Jesus!)
I was pleased that the production values were so high. I would not have known this was a low-budget independent film. As the movie progressed to its climax, it wove a powerful spell. It could not have done so had the lighting, acting, photography, music and editing not been consistently of the highest quality.
I am sending this or recommending it to my family and friends, some of whom are believers and others who are not. I believe the film has something to say to all.
It answers many of my questions. 2008-06-16
I have watched this movie on IPTV. It is great movie for anyone who have only a little interest or questions about Jesus. It is not a action move, but it moves me deeply. It has answer many of our questions about Him and about the world. I will watch this movie agin and agin, and show this movie to my friends too.
Great Explanation of Christianity 2008-06-16
The movie version of the bestselling novel, "Dinner With a Perfect Stranger" by David Gregory. Capturing the book's wit, intimacy and desire to enlighten almost line for line, "THE PERFECT STRANGER" is a thought-provoking tale of one woman's journey through the realms of doubt and disbelief - with the most unforgettable man she would ever meet.
Preaching to the choir 
2008-05-30
This movie is clearly not meant to convert doubters to Christianity, since the arguments it puts forward would not convince the mildest of skeptics. Instead, it seems to be made to reassure Christians that they have made the right choice. I enjoyed Jefferson Moore's performance, however, and the idea of sharing an expensive dinner with Jesus Christ is an intriguing one.
Very GOOD for a sequel. 2008-05-12
Followed same premise, EXCELLENT stoyline...again. But with next generation twist. Both stories refreshing of GOOD NEWS about a positive future, NOT preaching THE END OF THE WORLD OR LIFE, AS WE KNOWN IT FOR DOLLARS!
Entertaining and an excellent tool 2008-05-05
Have you ever really wanted to share your saving faith in Jesus but just struggled when the questions started rolling back at you? The Perfect Stranger is a great way to share your faith and some fundamental Christian beliefs. Watch it yourself and then plan to have friends or family over for a "dinner date" that advances your faith and allows a fine way to finally share it with others.
The movie maintains an air of professional production. Once you've moved through the first few minutes of the film you won't need to worry about showing off a "corny" Christian movie. Humor, sadness, anger and joy all make it into the honest questioning of the faith.
One of the best Christian films ever made. 2008-04-12
This is one of the best Christian films we have ever seen in regard to discourse about what is Christianity and who is Jesus Christ. The film, titled The Perfect Stranger is based on the book titled Dinner With a Perfect Stranger by David Gregory.
We were startled by how well it was done and the setting which takes place in a restaurant. Nikki Cominsky is a lawyer and she is having stress with her marriage and child raising. She receives an invitation from Jesus Christ to have dinner with him at one of her favorite restaurants and thinks it a joke pulled by her husband who had to stand her up that evening. She finds a well dressed man who identifies himself as Jesus Christ and as a talented lawyer she decides to call his bluff.
The personalities of the two stars click in a short film with a long message. Practically every question you would want to cover with Jesus is handled in an understandable and concise way. Subjects from creation, the crucifixion and resurrection, how Christianity differs from other religions especially Islam, the Trinity to Heaven, eternity and Hell as well as how to know you are saved. That's only a few. It is NOT a dry stuffy discourse, but a conversation between two who become friends. Yes, it is Jesus Christ and you will love Him even more as you will love the film.
I am using this in our church and have sent out the above review to everyone on our email list. I have also bought extra copies as gifts.
