      Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member personally I love this movie. it has been difficult to find, I suspect because of the irreverent view of religion. very funny Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member blasphemy can be funny. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. A very nice plot, terrific story. Hoskin's acting is touching. I'm a fan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
