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.

This film is just terrible.
It gets a 7+ rating because it has fake reviews. IMBD is really losing credibility lately allowing this to happen with so many movies.
The movie looks like it was filmed on a SD card and made for three cents
There is no real direction. It's amateurish. As is the writing and the acting.
It's filled with untalented clowns who cant act out of a paper bag.
The only good thing I can say is that it wasn't two hours long.

Can there be any justification whatsoever for making such a movie ?!?!?!?
THE GOOD - This is so stylishly-filmed it's unbelievable. The wild camera techniques - quick flashes, sudden changes from color to devil red, distorted sound bytes, shakey camera shots, wild colors and symbolic images, distorted sound bytes - are all fascinating to watch. Then there's the crazy story, which ranges from really good to really bad The two leads, "Rev Jones and Rebecca" are kinda co-dependent on one another. He likes his drugs, and she likes her style and shopping habits. He struggles keeping the cash flow going for his drug addiction and her Gucci purses, and some damn boots she mentions a thousand times.
THE BAD NEWS - The drug use in this movie is OVER THE TOP. WOW. The actor who plays Rev. Jones either did a lot of cocaine or endured the pain of snorting a lot of baking soda. Painful to watch sometimes. You can just see it in his face. Then there is the performance of Rebecca, she struggled to nail the character. The Preacher carried the movie.
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.

- TriviaWhile 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.
- GoofsWhen 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.
