Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway

Bottom line: Jesus Shows You The Way To The Highway is a bizarre experience that I think *most people* will not enjoy. You *really* have to like weird stuff to get into this, and I enjoyed the experience.

The best description of this movie I saw: "It was a bad movie, but a great hour long video"

I love weird stuff in general, and I was really torn on my rating for this one. They made some decisions that I just didn't find funny, which were pervasive throughout, but other people in my group really enjoyed them. I be the consensus would fall in the 5-7 range. I liked the way they ended it and a lot of the scenes were bizarre in ways I loved, so I put it in the middle.

I feel like It has some similar *vibes* as Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas: it's unclear exactly what's going on with the "story" for a lot of it, and there are incredibly weird visuals like super-zooms on people's faces. It felt like old YouTube videos/memes.

The budget likely was non-existent, but they were able to turn that into the insane fever-dream they set out for.

Whether you like it or not you are unlikely to ever see anything similar. If you liked space cop or kung fury this deserves a look. Its much wierder, at times it's Jodorowski level wierd. I dont even know if i liked it but im glad i watched it.

Farce, adventure, intrigue... all for a modest sum.

Zero Hollywood here. But it's hard to interpret the intention... comedy, social statements, too?

It's a crazy story that gets clarified at the end... if you last that long. I did. Never lost my interest about what they may show or do next... LOL!

I appreciated the originality, and the cartoonish suspense, even with the amateurish acting and visual effects. I'd be very interested in what these people do next.

I was going to begin this title with "Surreal", but if you're going to talk about a film that's clearly inspired by Phillip K. Dick's fiction that's kind of redundant. The basic plot bears quite a few points of similarity to one of the author's lesser-known novels, "Ubik"; there's even a major character named "Palmer Eldritch" -- as in Dick's novel "The Three Stigmata of". Which also featured an alien hallucinogen.

So the film isn't shy about acknowledging its antecedents. Along with lots of other influences from all over the place. Whether you'll like it or not probably depends on whether you enjoy that type of story. But seriously: "Worst movie ever"? No way. I really wish reviewers would stop using this as shorthand for "This was confusing/I didn't understand it."

Which is a perfectly valid opinion. I can't claim to have completely understood it, either, after one viewing. But I enjoyed it enough to think this is worth a couple more looks. Yeah, it's got its rough edges, but it also has real heart and creativity.

Do not expect to watch something with a coherent story and plot as this film feels more like watching a dream than anything else. This film has plenty of unique styles of cinematography as well having a lot of humor in its absurdity. Watch this if you want an experience that is odd then give this a try, would recommend
