Father Stu preview
The movie follows the journey of a young amateur boxer (Mark Wahlberg) who meets a Catholic Sunday school teacher (Teresa Ruiz). The snobbiness of the school teacher from his bad-boy charm gives Stuart Long the determination to win her heart by regularly going to church. A life-changing event made him realise that he is meant to serve in the church and guide others who are lost. Father Stuart Long then begins his pilgrimage to inspire the people around him and countless lost souls along the way.
Rosalind Ross will give us a beautiful redemption film that will make us laugh, cry, and spark a light of purpose in our lives. Mark Wahlberg was exceptional in this once-in-a-lifetime portrayal of a priest, a much-needed film for those who want to find redemption in their lives. Iconic actor Mel Gibson is also part of the film.
