02/26/2016 The cast is fantastic, writing on target, and story too fit to fight. Some think this might be a bit off center, but I didn't find it to be that odd. A little quirky, but it had me laughing out loud at regular intervals, unlike most "comedies" today. Today what's considered funny is merely obscene and offensive. There is little to offend here. Just good clean fun. And that coming from a Christian. Loved Goldblum's Jesus: "I'm so HUNGRY!!!" Priceless. See more 02/01/2016 personally I love this movie. it has been difficult to find, I suspect because of the irreverent view of religion. very funny See more 08/28/2008 At the end of the film we are left with very little except for a comic attitude, a delicate approach that depends on the sophistication and patience of the audience to make it work. Maybe you'll like it. Maybe you won't. At least you haven't seen anything like it before. See more 06/04/2008 blasphemy can be funny. See more 03/08/2008 This film is definitely not for everyone. It is not a typical comedy and it can be a little bizarre, but it is a well made film with wonderful performances. See more 01/31/2008 Great movie. A very nice plot, terrific story. Hoskin's acting is touching. I'm a fan. See more Read all reviews
