    Surprisingly entertaining!

    I am currently the third reviewer for this movie.

    One reviewer reviews by only asking an eleven word question - lol!

    The other reviewer obviously didn't even watch the movie, because it has *nothing to do with religious movies per se*! It isn't about "God is good", or religious sects, you faker!

    This movie is about a couple of *con artists fleecing religious people*, financing their drug addiction and life living moment to moment, until a sci fi/fantasy factor is introduced, which makes their life worse than ever.

    Very intriguing, and a lot better than too many multi-million dollar budgeted garbage movies Hollywood spews out.

    Seriously don't.....truly awful.

    I don't normally write reviews, but i was tricked into watching this by the fake ratings on this one. Terrible terrible film, acting is terrible, script is worse and there are so many pointless scenes aka bell ringing man! Lots of reuse of actors as extras...which is quite amusing.Production is also terrible, filming is a joke, there is nothing good about this film other than the "hot" "latino" wife...loco!!

    The only redeeming thing is my son and I will have many a nights laughing over the absolutely shocking film this was...worse than the room, maybe Norman Gregory Mcguire needs to take some tips from Tommy Wiseau.

    Wow, pretty bad

    Not the worst film I've seen but pretty bad nonetheless. Poor acting for the most part and the story is just desperately lost. A coke sniffing bad boy who fuels his habit by playing preacher along Route 66, accompanied by his pretty soon to be wife. I could add spoilers here and it would probably make no difference. There are "B" movies, and then there is the category below that, which is where this would fit. Hopelessly lost script and direction.

    Student project

    This was not good. Bad script. Lousy acting and a meaningless story. Depressing movie.

    So bad I felt compelled to leave a review

    I have just wasted two hours of my life, don't make the same mistake. From the awful acting to the utterly pointless scenes, I am dumbfounded at how this movie has any good reviews.

    The scenes were so odd and some characters so OTT you expected something to happen out of the ordinary.....it never did! This was pretty much the entire length of the film. The acting was at times embarrassing to watch, from most of the characters.

    It's been a long time since I have sat through such a bad movie, shame really as the story-line had potential.

    • Trivia
      While filming in Tucumcarri, New Mexico, a billy goat wandered onto the set at one of the motel locations and interrupted shooting. Several of the grips chased the animal away and production continued.
    • Goofs
      When Rebecca calls her mother on the payphone, the phone is only held to the pole with zip ties and there are no cables connecting it back to the telephone system This shows that the phone was simply a dummy prop.
