So, this ultra-religious couple feel that it is their holy mission to make a film condemning role playing games as the gateway drug to devil worship and demon possession. Needless to say, things do NOT quite go as planned...
Low budget but funny---a nicely framed jab at negative progaganda films and how their fervent bigotry tends to backfire. I'm reminded of the movie "Reefer Madness" and how it became a recruitment film for tokers because it was so earnest--yet blatantly ridiculous. Yes, this film (the one you are watching, not the one they are making) is also a pointed jab at certain Evangelicals and the "Prosperity Doctrine"--and how fundamentally self-centered (and often ignorant) such beliefs can be.
You can easily appreciate this movie on the face of it--unless you are offended by the message. If you ARE offended by the message, then you need to watch it again. There are more layers to this film than you may see at first glance--but you don't have to watch it for those and can still enjoy it. Script and acting are decent, nost of the characters are pretty well-- if thinly drawn, with the few full blown stereotypes feeling very deliberately done--as part of the whole point of the film. It's maybe a little slow in a few places, but yes, overall worth watching on a Saturday afternoon.
