Review
Selfie Dad is a nice family comedy and I love the fact that it’s Christian based.i love the perfect mixture of christian and comedy and drama.This movie is filled with laughter and lots of lessons to be learnt. I love the storyline of this movie and the powerful message that it was created to deliver. This movie encourages the teaching of the scripture, it encourages dads to explore the Bible with their families and open up to the changes and growth that comes with the constant studying of the scriptures.
I enjoyed the realism of the reaction of Christians when their love for God’s word is challenged and how it developed their transition away from externally forced shame to an embracing appreciation of the transformative value of God’s presence in the lives of the family. This movie reminds the viewers that any success or achievement outside God is without peace. Ben had achieved a lot but he still felt lost, he could feel that something was missing in his home.

A part of the story line of this movie that really captivated me is the part where Mickey, a friend of Ben who is training to be a pastor and also writing a book, saw Ben as a man who is perfect and has his spiritual life all figured out and wanted to write his book based on Ben’s Christian life. Unknowingly to Mickey, Been has no idea of what was doing with his life. This part of this reminded the viewers that they are a lot a public figures that the public look up to, expecting them to be perfect and flawless when it comes to their faith, career and family. But the truth is, Everyone is still figuring life out, and would only get lost if God is outside the picture.

Verdict.
Apart from the fact that the pacing of this film was a bit slow at the beginning , Selfie Dad is a movie that you would enjoy watching. The choice of songs was brilliant, the acting was good too. I would rate Selfie Dad a 3.5/5.
