Mitch Albom's Have a Little Faith Movie Premieres Nov. 27, 2011 on ABC

"MITCH ALBOM'S HAVE A LITTLE FAITH," A HALLMARK HALL OF FAME FILM BASED ON THE BEST-SELLING BOOK, PREMIERES SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27 ON ABC

Laurence Fishburne, Bradley Whitford, Anika Noni Rose and Martin Landau Star;

Jon Avnet Directs from Mitch Albom's Screenplay


Mitch Albom (Bradley Whitford) has a pretty great life. He lives in Detroit and is happily married. He's an award-winning sportswriter, a must-read newspaper columnist, a screenwriter, and a radio and television broadcaster.

Then two men come into his life, and he realizes something's missing.

The two men are Rabbi Albert Lewis (Martin Landau), who presides over a thriving synagogue in a comfortable New Jersey suburb, and pastor Henry Covington (Laurence Fishburne), a recovering drug user and dealer, who preaches to the poor and homeless in a crumbling Detroit inner-city church.

Moving between their worlds—Christian and Jewish, African-American and white, impoverished and privileged—Albom witnesses firsthand how these two very different men not only live life, but celebrate life.

What do rabbi and reverend have in common? Albom comes to realize they both take profound comfort in believing that there's a divine spark in all of us, and that one person—or in this case, two people—can make a big difference in others' lives, as long as they have a little faith.

I don't normally cry or get touched by a show/movie but I was bawling towards the end of this one!! This movie showed mercy, forgiveness and how God can change a life around for real. Hallmark you outdid yourself. This shows exactly the reason why we believers live for Jesus..... the few bad apples make us look bad BUT this movie portrayed Christianity the way it should be portrayed. THANK YOU HALLMARK for putting this on primetime TV!!!!!!!!!!

An awesome movie about a real man of God. This movie shows that not all pastors are after money. EVERY person on this planet should see this movie of forgiveness, compassion and why people live for Jesus. What an awesome thing Hallmark has done for TV. Unbelievable this would be on primetime TV - THANK YOU for finally putting something on that uplifts Jesus Christ and doesn't make a fool out of our living for HIm!!!!
