Treats addiction as if it’s all a bit of a lark and that the therapeutic community – like the woman who runs Charlie’s self-help group – is way too judgmental, man.

The movie plays addiction and murder as just a bit of a lark, and it's also amusing without actually being funny, entertaining without being likeable.

... Its glib attitude to its characters’ addictions is tiresome, and the general level of inspiration is low.

God’s Petting You is a quirky and indulgent film that leaves you questioning your own moral beliefs and sanity. This always entertaining film has the potential to be powerful in its message for those out there who need to listen.

2.5/5

Whilst the dark comedy here generally hits the spot and the characters are quirky yet believable, God’s Petting You doesn’t really have enough substance to justify its running time.

I thought this was entertaining, quirky and funny. It's substantially better than I expected considering the tepid reviews. It's definitely worth the watch.

Carries you along in spite of yourself, every moment. The characters charm and engage you from the start, losers though they may be, and you want their ought-to-seem-grim schemes to work out for them.

This is a wild ride! Reminiscent of early Guy Ritchie - in a great way.
