Based on a true story, Father Stu is an unflinchingly honest, funny and ultimately uplifting drama about a lost soul who finds his purpose in a most unexpected place. When an injury ends his amateur boxing career, Stuart Long (Mark Wahlberg) moves to L.A. dreaming of stardom. While scraping by as a supermarket clerk, he meets Carmen (Teresa Ruiz), a Catholic Sunday school teacher who seems immune to his bad-boy charm. Determined to win her over, the longtime agnostic starts going to church to impress her. But surviving a terrible motorcycle accident leaves him wondering if he can use his second chance to help others find their way, leading to the surprising realization that he is meant to be a Catholic priest. Despite a devastating health crisis and the skepticism of Church officials and his estranged parents (Mel Gibson and Jacki Weaver), Stu pursues his vocation with courage and compassion, inspiring not only those closest to him but countless others along the way.

Father Stuart Long’s courageous witness left a special legacy in the Diocese of Helena. Read and share the letter from the Diocese that addresses Fr. Stu’s redemptive story.
“FATHER STU is Mark Wahlberg's most heartfelt, moving and extraordinary role of his prolific career. I laugh, I cry, I pray and most importantly left feeling hopeful that life will work out no matter what. He deserves the Oscar for Best Performance. A movie for the new normal with a message of hope, love and redemption. Mel Gibson won me over as Stu Long's father as well as the rest of the young cast of soon-to-be priests.”
"This film is a triumph, a powerhouse performance by Mark Wahlberg"
"An important and moving story we all need right now."
“‘Father Stu’ was simply brilliant. It was funny, dramatic, and emotionally moving — both with tears of sadness and joy. It also strikes a perfect balance between portraying Fr. Stu’s pre-conversion rawness and staying within the boundaries of decency for a faith-based film. Mark Wahlberg’s performance was phenomenal, along with his supporting cast. Very seldom do we get a faith-based film that has the high quality of film making that ‘Father Stu’ has. Bravo!”
“Unexpectedly for a movie about a priest, ‘Father Stu’ is a gritty, real-world look at Stuart Long, a man whose life took many unexpected turns. Rated R, this film is not your typical sticky sweet faith-based story. But when it releases before Easter, it will definitely touch hearts and souls, mostly through its unflinching desire not to shy away from life's toughest stuff.”
“Mark Wahlberg delivers one of the most sensitive, restrained performances of his career by bringing his idiosyncratic charisma to an inspiring true story”
“Father Stu is spiritually emotional and dazzles through the steps of God!”
“Mark Wahlberg gives one of the best performances of his career.”
“An emotionally resonant look at spirituality, family and growth. Mark Wahlberg gives one of the best performances of his career.”
"Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson, and Jacki Weaver turn in exceptional performances in Father Stu."
"An uplifting, inspiring story that will move you to tears."
“Mark Wahlberg gives the performance of his career in Father Stu. The movie is simply incredible.”
“A raw and visceral performance from Mark Wahlberg.”
“Raw and real and still reverent, ‘Father Stu’ is a truly Catholic movie about a man transformed by love, first for a woman and then for Christ.”
“A story of hope and overcoming the challenges of our humanity. You need to see this movie!”
“Mark Wahlberg’s award-worthy performance is deeply felt in ‘Father Stu,’ a film that is filled with humanity, humor and heart.”
