Not a bad movie, just mislabeled. It's not a comedy. It's a full on look at the scandals and people behind them at mega churches. The saving grace is the acting. Both leads show their acting chops in a major way, but the script and the movie is just a bit boring. I gave it a 6 for the message and the acting but not a movie I would run and tell people about. Again, the two main actors are great, just this script doesn't match their talent, their talent instead carried the script.
And why are we required to write a 600 character review now? Well no need to read below just making this a novel in order to submit...

I'm not sure, but it seems like this movie was somewhat based on Eddie Long. Eddie Long was a pastor from Atlanta who had a few scandals.
I found a couple parts to be funny, but overall it wasn't good. I was surprised to see Sterling a part of a movie like this. It's nice to see him explore different roles. I gave four starts because I like Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown.
Many people don't want to accept that many of the things that were portrayed in this movie occurs and have occurred in churches.
If you don't like people mocking religions or churches then this movie is NOT for you. If you don't care about religion or church, check it out you may like it.

I expected it to be funny or thought provoking. There were moments that it was. Is it about a marriage, the church, religion exploitation, sex abuse? I dont know. Not very satisfying to watch mostly.
The tone was also inconsistent for me. At times quirky, ridiculous, at times serious, but not a point that defined the film.
The documentary style was good at first, but later it became gimmicky.
The thing that saved it for me was the performance of the two lead. Regina Hall was great and Sterling K Brown gave a very convincing performance as a self centered, egotistic, but charismatic pastor. Those who go to church might recognize the type.

Nobody likes hypocrites - unless, of course, they make good fodder for laughs, as is the case in this sidesplitting new comedy from writer-director Adamma Ebo. The target here is the hypocrisy often present in the bluster-filled fundamentalist megachurches, whose elaborate Sunday services play like big-budget Broadway productions and for which their pastors ask their congregations to fork over wads of cash - all in exchange for allegedly saved souls and their leaders' ability to live lives of grossly ostentatious affluence. Invariably, though, these schemes come with a catch in which their two-faced preachers get caught in career-ruining scandals that expose just how hypocritical and corrupt they really are. Such is what happens in this mockumentary-style offering about a once-big time Atlanta pastor and his "first lady" as they attempt to rebound from a fall from grace that rings all too familiar in the evangelist community. Filmmaker Ebo's debut feature pulls no punches in the picture's critically biting humor and in its periodic forays into dramatic material, moves meant to draw attention to the innate insincerity of its protagonists (and some of its parishioners). In doing so, the film straddles a fine line between comedy and drama, presenting a carefully concocted mix that works much of the time but occasionally becomes a little too heavy-handed for its own good. Nevertheless, "Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul." makes an impact with its fine performances by Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall, as well as its wickedly delicious wit and ample sight gags, elements that will have viewers delightfully giggling with glee. This one might not have you on your knees, but you might easily fall over laughing.
This movie was good. Period. Anyone on here bashing it is doing just that. This is like if Greenleaf was a documentary vs a show. You get glimpses into the hypocrisy of this mega church and it's disgraced first family...ala Bishop Eddie Long....hmph. Whoever wrote the script is VERY familiar with prosperity gospel and it shows. Lots of funny moments. Some "Y'all, be for real" moments lol. And some "Oop, that's the true tea" moments. I enjoyed it. I'd even watch it again! Give it a shot. At worst it's a good watch, but a 5 it is not.... UNLESS you are hating or this isn't apart of your culture.
