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.

Regina Hall and Sterling K Brown are a great duo in this film. Both are hilarious when needed and add emotional depth when needed. The documentary style of it takes some getting used to... maybe for budget reasons. There are times where I wish more happened. The story felt unfinished and there was no real character arcs in my opinion but I guess thats a real depiction of life because most preachers who find themselves in this type of predicament usually dont learn. I enjoyed what was given overall. I laughed out loud so many times. Regina is great in this. An acquired taste for some. Entertaining for others.
This movie is everything that is wrong with the church! Lol. The cast is great, It's got some of my favorites (Regina, Nicole, Sterling). Regina is really funny in the movie.

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.
