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.
When I saw the name of the movie, Holyman Undercover I was fooled to think some form of espionage like mission impossible thing was going to happen. My rate of disappointment when I realized that none of the above took place cannot be expressed with words, but I wasnâ(TM)t deterred I went along with the movie expecting to be surprised and boy, wasnâ(TM)t I.
Given the privilege top screen movies before it gets recommended to the Church, I went on a DVD hunt for Christian movies; I picked many and sat for a marathon, when I came across this movie I had to pause and check again to be sure this is meant to be a Christian movie.
The thing is when a Christian movie starts to have sexual undertones, which are not hidden mind you, I start to wonder what message are they trying to pass. The makers are trying to make it seem that the lead character Roy was in a state where he was trapped with between this modern life and what he believes in.
Roy then goes undercover playing any acting gig he can get and dropping lines that will help win people to Christ.
I have written over 250 reviews this is my first 1 star rating, this movie is so bad that I felt insulted that this movie has the name of my savior beside it, the problem is not the bogus acting (hey it is meant to be a comedy, a ridiculous one at that) neither is it the bad costumes which was a plague in this movie (Iâ(TM)m not someone who looks out for costumes in films, but the costume work was so bad that you canâ(TM)t help but notice) the problem is that, our religious man, has a crush on his employer.
Now when a Christian movie has a scene where the lead fantasies about a girl putting on lipstick and calling his name seductively you need to stop watching, because this movie will be shown to kids and many out there under the umbrella of Christian movie and it will be sad, that kids learn that it is OK to lust.
Holyman Undercover, is a drag, it is boring and not at all funny. If you manage to keep awake after the first 30 minutes then all the best, here is a movie I highly recommend you throw away the DVD if you ever come across it.

What a disappointment! We had been looking forward to the release of this movie. I found this movie just plain silly and dumb. It had no clear Christian message, which is what I have found so good about David White movies. This movie also was very suggestive in an immoral sexual way. I felt it was inappropriate for younger viewers. It should have had a rating to this effect. I was very embarrassed that I did not preview this movie before watching with my children. I felt the jesting of Christianity did a disservice to all Christians. David White's talents were truly wasted here. I would not recommend this movie at all.
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!

If you're looking for 90 minutes of a fundamentalist Christian filmmaker portraying homeless people as mindless zombies, Hispanic people as criminals and drug dealers, and Amish people as mentally challenged, I guess this is the movie for you. Additionally, a fundamentalist Christian mocking someone else's beliefs is one of the most hypocritical things imagineable...
