Young Jacob is tired of living on the family farm, submitting to the rules of his father. One day he demands an early inheritance, and is shocked when his father agrees - contingent on first sitting through an intensive session of life trainers in the area of Health, Wealth and Wisdom including real life like pollster Scott Rasmussen, Talk Show host Sean Hannity and Psychologist Dr. Bev Smallwood. Jacob heads to the city to prove that his modern ways are better than his dad's traditions. For a while he does surprisingly well taking huge business risks, and still making money even while living an extremely flamboyant lifestyle that attracts the wrong women including seductive Laura, whose rich boyfriend Frank is often dangerously nearby. Jacob’s got the it all: money, ladies, prestige. But then-he loses it all and just when he thinks he's hit bottom the bottom drops some more. Coming to his senses he heads home, determined to work in an entry level position for his dad, who approaches him – but with open arms or with anger?

Glad to own this one
So glad I bought this movie. Very enjoyable, modern take on the parable of the prodigal son, but not boring. Will watch again soon

Stories such as the prodigal son are about universal issues that have plagued us humans since our beginning.
Very watchable take on the Biblical story of the prodigal son. (However, I took off a star because the story flow was so choppy.) We need more retelling of Biblical stories presented in such as way as to make their lessons relevant in today's modern world. Stories such as the prodigal son are universal issues that have plagued humans since human time began. Many thanks to the filmmakers .Good job. Goodbye to the same old, same old Hollywood tripe.

Just ok
It lacks in plot & is a little too contrived. The actors all did a great job with the material.
