Movie Review: Just Another Friday 2The film conveys important messages encapsulated in the power of faith. Throughout the film, distinct illustrations are shown where one’s faith can either be tested or broken, leaving us with feelings of doubt, fear, anger and hopelessness. It is often said that the Lord never gives us more than we can bear, and the characters are put through situations which test the strength of their faith.
