Holyman Undercover

David A.R. White plays an Amish man who goes to Los Angeles to find his missing uncle and inadvertently becomes a television star in this genuinely funny film. Since "The Passion of the Christ," there have been quite a few faith-based films trying to tap into the Christian market. This is the first comedy in the genre that I've seen and it definitely succeeds. It is essentially a Prodigal Son story about a naive young farm boy who goes to the big city and faces all of the temptations of the world before coming to his senses and returning to the roots. The biggest difference between this film and the parable in the Bible is that this one has more laughs. Then again, it'd be hard not to get laughs with supporting performances by the likes of Fred Willard, Clint Howard, Edie McCLurg and Jennifer Lyons. I'm looking forward to a sequel!

I'd rather have a colonoscopy with no anaesthesia than watch any piece of garbage that slithers out of the worm infested brain of David A. R. White. I was Christian before this film, but now I loathe everything Christian. This is vile and repugnant.

Worst examples of intolerance I've seen in a movie. I explained more in another review. But then, it goes on to make fun of people with developmental disabilities. Apparently calling people the R word is acceptable in this unChristian 'Christian' film. If racism and prejudice is your jam, this is for you.

I believe this movie isn't the greatest thing you could see, but, it is definitely respectable as a whole. David A. R. White I actually respect a whole lot, due to his own testimony being powerful, and this story is also very much powerful as well.

It's in many ways, from my understanding, his own testimony being touched upon in this movie, as he was raised in a Mennonite community(who do share many similar Amish beliefs). Thing is, a lot of people don't understand the seriousness of how demonic and Satanic Hollywood truly is, and this movie went out of its way to point that out uniquely.

To start, this is a comedy that goes out of its way to still be Christian, and yet it is also unafraid to portray this story uncensored. The adult humor and comments do tend to be very shocking at times, and yet also with many hilarious moments that made it hard to not enjoy it.

My personal favorite moments? They're in the trailer. The first of the two involve where David A. R. White's character interacts with the homeless people in Hollywood, as they surround him while he's politely saying "Maybe you guys need Jesus...", all for them to say "We don't need Jesus, we need your money man!". It's a joke that is kinda hardcore, but also very realistic, as... Simply put, homeless people who lean on drugs even, they do exist, and they would treat a simple comment about needing Jesus to help them like that in real life even.

The other joke involves a dream where this girl he falls in love with ends up being converted into a Christian with him, so she does a reverse-strip-tease putting on traditional Amish girl clothes. This one alone is just, simply put, genius!

I feel like people were always a bit harsh on this one, as it may not be perfect... For sure, there are many hardcore jokes in this movie, but I respect it for the amount of careful thought that went into making a more adult-focused Christian comedy like this!

God bless PureFlix!

I can't believe this move came out so long ago and I never heard of it. This is one of the funniest, healthiest, cutest Christian films to ever come out. It's very realistic. This movie made me think of The Lord every eight minutes. David A R White is a force of nature. He is making history, and changing lives. I don't know why David A R White is not winning the Academy Award yet. The Lord is in every scene, in every shot, in every frame, in every grain of this film. In this film, we see the inner workings of the Hollywood machine and how it is better to love God than to want to be in movies. This movie gives me all of the ammunition I need to do my work converting and witnessing. I just put this movie on, pull out a big "J", and smoke it. Then I fall asleep, and the person who thinks I'm trying to convert them gets confused and then they haul ass.
