Absolute Grade Z Junk
NickGagnon9421 February 2024
A Taste of Praise is a film that belongs in the class of horribly bigoted and stupid films. Much like Audacity, Accidental Activist and Right To Believe this film is another story of bigotry but the film sides with the prejudice ones.

Its based on a true case of a gay couple wanting a cake from a bakery but the baker does not approve of gay couples because of his religion. I thought its weird that in the film the main baker has tattoos. I guess he just cherry picks the Bible. Granted he could of got those before he found his religion but why show them off or not get them remove if hes so strict? Basically this film goes where you think it will. Its a persecution complex film. I felt nothing for the lead protagonist though. This is the biggest 'Who Cares?' film you could imagine. Its also funny that dramatic music plays anytime the baker is told something about gays.

A Tate of Praise is a horribly anti gay bigoted trashy piece of junk that takes pride in its bigotry. Or maybe this was a tool to convert people to atheism. Well its good to be laughed though.

An important contribution
UK_MT13 February 2024
Not a brilliant film but an important contribution to an argument. Should an individual be forced by the state to speak something that they disagree with? Should a baker be forced to make MAGA cakes for Trump, or Vote Biden cakes?

It was clear that this was not a denial of service since the baker would have happily made a non-custom cake for the wedding and indeed offered to do so. I am sure those who are against the baker would consider it acceptable for a company to refuse to make a cake celebrating the overturning of Roe V Wade.

The film is sympathetic to a man who was forced into the limelight and the impact that it had on his family and business by those who could have easily gone elsewhere.

Great movie based on one's Christian rights.
pastorpauljohnson11 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
It is easy for someone to criticize a movie that is contrary to what they believe and what they think are their rights. But they tend to forget that some people have different views and then those with Christian values also have rights. And the baker is not against them or their lifestyle, he just stands on his beliefs. And according to the Constitution of America he, too, has those rights.

But enough about the differing viewpoints. The acting was good and the characters did well portraying their roles (which might have been difficult for some of them). The story progressed well and the relationship between family members was well acted out. And it was interesting to see how the Dad, husband, baker, friend, believer in God, was confronted and dealt with each of his positions. And that they had a major law firm take their situation on Pro Bono position.

These stories need to be told
fromcafl12 May 2024
I'm glad stories that highlight the hypocrisy of "tolerance" are being told. It's not bigotry to have a belief of right and wrong and someone standing up for what they believe is traditionally something to celebrate but lately it seems that you aren't allowed to do so. No one is denying anyone the right to get married or have a cake, this person simply didn't want to bake one for something they believe is morally wrong based on their faith. No one would object if he didn't want to make a birthday cake for Jeffrey Dahmer. No one would object if the owner was Muslim. Only because he's a Christian does this cause such controversy. So happy this movie was made!
