I'm obviously alone here, but I found the movie both infectiously positive and charming. Nic Cage absolutely goes for it (as always)

This movie is a hidden gem that I missed when it came out. It is one of Cage's finest performances and Russell Brand was a great choice for the role of God. This is a hilarious roller-coaster of a story! This movie deserves a much higher rating than it has. Do yourself a favor and give it a go.

Compared to recent comedies out of Hollywood this is a damn Oscar winner! Just relax and run with it, lots of little sight gags, some laugh out loud funny stuff. There are scenes where you can't tell what is reality and what isn't, that's OK because neither can our hero. Enjoy.

The movie's noisy, busy and not that funny. But there is a sweetness and a cockeyed optimism here.

Most viewers would be better off waiting for Army Of One to air on TV, or just giving it a pass altogether.

Bizarre comic caper has language, drinking, drugs.

Cage grabs hold of the Faulkner character with all his might and won't let go. Again, much like in that Vince Neil video.
