"Faith of Our Fathers" doesn't work, and not because of its Christian message.

Sheila O'Malley, RogerEbert.com
Rotten

It's obnoxious, to say the least, to use the Vietnam War as an excuse to affirm the importance of telling all and sundry about Jesus at all times (i.e., "testifying"), under all circumstances.

Vadim Rizov, AV Club
Rotten

A clumsily told story of friendship and wartime remembrance that has a tough time serving up a halfway believable moment, let alone a moving and powerful testimony about the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Justin Chang, Variety
Rotten

This evangelical "Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam" by way of "The Dukes of Hazzard" takes a mighty ridiculous route to righteousness.

Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times
