Have a Little Faith (film)

Have a Little Faith is a 2011 American made-for-television drama film directed by Jon Avnet, based on Mitch Albom's 2009 non-fiction book of the same name. The film stars Laurence Fishburne, Bradley Whitford, and Martin Landau. It premiered on ABC on November 27, 2011, as an ABC Sunday Movie.

The film tells a dual narrative centering around two clergymen: Albert Lewis, a rabbi in New Jersey, and Henry Covington, a pastor of a struggling church in Detroit. Albom, played by Whitford, is asked by his childhood rabbi, Lewis (Landau), to deliver his eulogy, despite Albom not being religious. This request prompts Albom to reflect on his relationship with the rabbi and his own spiritual beliefs. Simultaneously, Albom becomes involved with Covington (Fishburne) and his efforts to rebuild his dilapidated church and minister to his impoverished community. The narrative explores themes of faith, community, social justice, and the challenges faced by religious leaders in modern society.

The film was generally well-received for its performances, particularly those of Fishburne and Landau. However, some critics noted the difficulties in adapting Albom's reflective and introspective writing style to a visual medium. The film also explores racial and socioeconomic disparities within the religious context.
