    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.

    Good Bones but Needs Work

    Needed some tweaking in editing. A countdown clock to the day/hour/minute would have added a sense of urgency as well as comedy. Characters were nice written and stereotyped for some laughs. The base is SO there but needs some refining in the script as well. Great message :)

    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 .

    More painful than the crucifixion

    I really wanted to enjoy this. What a waste of a good premise. After 20 years in a church like the one portrayed here, I thought it might be worth a viewing.

    Fellow Christians, please stop giving bad movies high scores simply because they have Christian themes. All that does is encourage more bad Christian movies.

    Much of this movie felt like it was written at a church staff retreat after a night of sleep-deprivation. The plot was formulaic and the punchlines easy to see coming. The characters had no depth and their quirks were more cringe-inducing than endearing.

    It was sad to see Donald Faison's life sucked out of him with this role.

    You could see his eyes closing over a little more each time he was onscreen. The cheesy exit of his character was so lame I'm suprised they didn't take him out to the pasture shoot him afterward.
