Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. is a satirical comedy starring Regina Hall as Trinitie Childs -- the proud first lady of a Southern Baptist megachurch, who together with her husband, Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs (Sterling K. Brown), once served a congregation in the tens of thousands. But after a scandal forces their church to temporarily close, Trinitie and Lee-Curtis must reopen their church and rebuild their congregation to make the biggest comeback that commodified religion has ever seen.

Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. has some broad targets but refuses to take cheap shots at them, instead offering a pointed, well-acted satire of organized religion.

Audience Says

Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. has a great cast, but the mockumentary format highlights the flaws in a disappointing story.

Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. is a chronicle of a woman at a crossroads, analyzing life, love, and God in excruciating detail — and not necessarily in that order.

Ebo doesn’t look closely at the church’s business side or the protagonists’ inner lives; nonetheless, Hall provides the film with a solid emotional core...

Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall give wonderfully complex performances as a disgraced Christian power couple trying to salvage what remains of their spiritual empire.

Performativity is the name of the game in “Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul,” a scathing, wickedly funny satire of religion, misogyny, homophobia, and everything in between.

The crash and burn of high-profile celebrities, even in the church world, makes me cynical about people who blindly follows the word of others, but for Hall and Brown, I might be close to devotion.

3.5/5

As much as the Childs insist their lives are blessed by God's favor, pointing to their giant house and luxury clothes, Honk for Jesus constantly shows their suffering.

This was quite different from what I expected. The acting was superb! The storyline was sometimes difficult to follow. What happened before the story begins was not clear. I think it was worth seeing, especially for the acting.

Slow and dull. Kept hoping the funny part would start, but no luck. The performances were good but the movie was not.
