      torin f Begins stylishly, but soon after the opening titles, the movie settles very comfortably into its mediocre premise and then stumbles through the motions until reaching its predictable and contrived conclusion. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Original plot idea and decent acting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/22 Full Review Audience Member A very weird con. But kind of fun if you're willing to bring a bucketful of suspension of disbelief. Plot and motivation problems throughout but the overall effect is good., like the cast. The hardest problem to stomach is the gangster who thinks you can manifest $200,000 by yelling at people. Oh, and the con artist who worries more about the ethics of the con than the gangster who's threatening to kill them. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I wish ‘faith based’ movie will have its on section so I could stay away from watching it Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/21 Full Review farah r Original and interesting plot combined with decent acting makes Playing God a really good movie. Who knew Alan Tudyk can pull off such a moving performance? I'm so used to seeing him in comedies or behind the scenes of animated movies I had no idea he was such a great actor. I hope he gets more roles like this one. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Thoroughly enjoyed this movie...the storyline was good and wasn't expecting the twist. The actors were all great especially Alan . Great for family viewing too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Chris Vognar Houston Chronicle What doesn't work on a logic level makes sense according to the characters and performances. And the twists - a con movie always has twists - are quite satisfying, even if you see them coming. Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com [Playing God is] this week's episode of 'Good Actors, Less Than Ideal Script.' Rated: 2/4 Aug 6, 2021 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Playing God's fun is because the film is not what you think and will surprise you at how excellent and heartfelt the real story is. Rated: 8/10 Nov 4, 2021 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Mildly engaging, clunky, uneven and shallow. Rated: 5.224953/10 Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Steven Warner In Review Online That this is wrapped within a tale concerning the holiest of fathers Himself is certainly a clever maneuver, if not a bit too obvious. Aug 26, 2021 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix The very flimsy premise of Playing God is bloated into 95 minutes of tedious and uninspired repetition, with dull acting and empty characters. It's ironic that this vapid comedy, which tries to use spirituality as a punchline, actually has no soul. Aug 15, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
