    Great movie with humor and heart!

    I like being supportive of faith-based films and I love a good comedy, and Church People is both! Making the Gospel the main thing is important whether you're a small church or a mega church and bringing that message with humor makes it all the more memorable.

    An American feel

    Funny ?, but with everything going on in the world , religion is best left alone . It will have something for some people though .

    It's not amazing, but it's better than most.

    Can't lie, it's not a 10. But it's not that bad. I had some real good laughs, the acting didn't suck like most small films. Not gonna win any Oscar's but not a definitely not waste of time!

    Self Aware, Family Friendly

    A family friendly Christian movie, funny, and self-aware, with a stellar cast, that made for an enjoyable and entertaining film.

    Engaging and humorous, it is a wonderful film to share with family, containing the powerful message of the foremost gospel of Christ's sacrifice for our sins. Starring Christian comedian Thor Ramsey, alongside a wonderful cast, including Stephen Baldwin, Joey Fatone, and even a cameo from the My Pillow Guy himself. I will admit that at times the humor can be deemed irreverent, so if you are offended by the likes of Tim Hawkins and John Crist then it might not be your style. But by the end, it all came together and I enjoyed the wit in this Christian movie being willing to take a step back and make fun of some aspects of the Christian culture, as well as to be honest enough to take a serious look at itself as well.

    All in all a fun family movie, with some great talking points along the way. Filled with humor, clean and at times cheesy, well acted, with a powerful conclusion, this is a movie that makes for a great family movie night and is great to share with others!

    Many thanks to Collide Distribution for providing this product/product information for review. Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I did receive a sample of the product in exchange for this review and post.

    Could've been so much better

    This movie was not good. I had high expectations going in because I really really liked the idea for this movie. The Christian church has become, in a lot of ways, a huge production masking itself as a way to reach people. Yet in doing that the gospel has been so watered down, and pushed to the side. So when I saw the trailer I got hyped, thinking it was going to be brutally honest about the modern church. In a lot of ways it is, but man it was way too over the top.

    The biggest problems with this movie, however, is the script and the acting. The script is trash. And a lot of times it's incredibly weird. Their are actually a lot of incredibly awkward scenarios and lines in this movie. Some that talk about listing after maniquinns and other weird stuff like that. Furthermore, the acting is also terrible. I really think it's mainly cause the script is so bad, but nonetheless everyone does terribly in this movie.

    There is one very very good thing about this movie, and that is its presentation of the gospel. Most Christian movies I've seen always have bad acting, script, writing, and a terrible presentation of the gospel. They do a fantastic job of illustrating what the Gospel really is. So for that, I applaud them.

    However, everything else about this movie is incredibly weird, off putting, and beyond over the top. But all in all they did present the gospel clearly and I'm glad they were able to do that!
