Product Description:
FORGIVING THE FRANKLINS is the hilarious and absurd tale of what happens to a conservative North Carolina family after the burden of Original Sin is lifted from them through Divine Intervention.
Before the fortunate catastrophe of a car crash changes them forever, The Franklins are passionless American stereotypes living unfulfilling but picture-perfect lives. Frank's a lawyer, Betty's a homemaker, Brian's a high school football hero, and Caroline's a cheerleader. Not a one of them is genuinely contented in the roles they play.
After the accident, Frank, Betty and Brian emerge from a collective coma, reborn into a life without shame. Much to the horror of Caroline, who escaped the coma, her family's repressed sexuality is unleashed and on display for anyone who'd care to look.
The community they live in doesn t quite appreciate The Franklin's new way of embracing life, which leads to a dramatic conclusion you'll never see coming.
If you're in the mood for a movie that constantly surprises, delights and leaves you thinking when it's over, hop in bed with The Franklins tonight. They'll be happy to teach you a few new tricks.

Jay Floyd's "Forgiving the Franklins" provides thought-provoking material in an entertaining manner. I've read one review that sets the film in North Carolina and another in North Dakota. Regardless of exactly where the film is set, it is small town America. The question the film poses is whether sexuality is truly anti-religious. Obviously, the world wants the species to continue; so sex has to have its place. But when does physical enjoyment and intimacy cross the line to become sordid? In ... Read More

Are you a fan of one-note, vile stereotypes? If so, buy this movie! If ever there was a piss poor excuse to seek revenge on the "bad" people who have done you wrong, this movie is it. Beneath the indie / Sundance street cred, this absurd story is a hate letter to Christianity, masquerading as an avant-hipster satire.
The guy who wrote this should get off his pedestal and recognize that not all people of faith are morons and maniacs. Some are perhaps, but really, all of them? Really? ... Read More

It's always a pleasure to see characters in a movie who are wholly good-hearted and well-intentioned, even when they're surrounded by those who are neither. The film's moderately silly premise is that the conservative, religious Franklin family (mother, father, teen boy and girl) are involved in an accident wherein the parents and brother have a near-death experience during which they meet Jesus, a pleasant but somewhat exasperated soul who removes from them the burden of 'original sin.' When they return ... Read More

This movie is a pure delight. I too saw it at Sundance. The real star of the film is Jay Floyd the writer, director, producer, and financial backer. I understand he cast it and shot it himself as well. He was one of the most talked about people at Sundance.
This film had me laughing and thinking for months afterward. The 4 members of the Franklin family are played perfectly by the actors.
And you will never view ice cubes the same way again.

Saw this movie at Sundance. Original, smart, sweet and oh so funny. Watch it with friends.
It's about accepting people for who they are and not judging them while making you laugh at loud.
You'll be thinking about this movie long after you see it.
