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.

The movie started off strong but had a very weak ending. The movie had a somewhat similar but yet way off depiction about a real life megachurch pastor that has passed on.

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.

Rated: 3/4

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.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Hall gives what a career-best performance in a role that allows both her comedic and dramatic acting muscles to shine.

Alongside the hilarity and dark subject, Hall and Brown are great counterparts, filled with awkward laughs and the latter’s egomaniac and extravagant performance.

Both Brown and Hall play their roles with just the right amount of pious pride and vulnerability.
