Father Stu is an unflinchingly honest, funny and uplifting story. God needed a fighter, and He found one. After surviving a terrible motorcycle accident, Stuart Long (Mark Wahlberg) wonders if he can use his second chance to help others find their way - leading this former amateur boxer to the surprising realisation that he is meant to be a priest.
