Q: What can the public do to help promote this movie?
A: If this can get out there in papers, in magazines and television, and people just know that it’s available to them – I think people will go. Tell them to go to thewhatifmovie.com and kevinsorbo.net and spread the word. I want them to get it out there.
“I want them to see that the moments on the couch with your family, the private moments in prayer, the quiet moments in church, are more valuable than any material success you can attain,” he said. “For those who made the right choice in their life and have faith and family, this movie will encourage them and remind them of the beauty of their relationship with their families and with God. For those who haven't, this movie will let them know that it's never too late to alter your course.”
...
“We don’t have studio money and financing behind us,” Sorbo said. “Now we just hope through strong word of mouth, everybody will make this thing a go. That’s the only way it’s going to get out there to more people. People are starving for family movies. They’re starving for good faith-based movies. They’re starving for movies that preach a good message.”

“We make it easy for you, although it takes some energy and effort on your part,” Jenkins said. “But if you're passionate about making a statement to Hollywood that we need more films like these, then we need to promote the film to Christians who want to ‘vote with their dollar’ for change in Hollywood.”
“What If …” premiers in a limited release Aug. 20 in theaters across the country, with more screens scheduled for the weeks to come. Produced by Pure Flix and directed by Dallas Jenkins, its makers are counting on local churches and Christian moviegoers to help in creating a buzz that will translate to additional screens in the future.
...
The first 15 minutes or so is a little too complicated for young children – lots of talk about investment, business strategies, fancy cars and such. If you can get the little ones over that hump – and I’ll admit my little ones were getting squirmy – they’ll be rewarded with a fun journey that is touching and easy to follow for the next 75 minutes.
...
The movie is sweet and redeeming from start to finish. Aside from an over-the-head-of-anyone-under-10 start, “What If …” is appropriate for children 5 and up, and especially appropriate for adults who need a subtle reminder that faith and family should be at the very top of the priority list.
