YouthMin

Serious feels watching this film! Right from the start I was brought back to middle school, being dropped off by mom and being forced into youth group. This movie captured so many moments that relate to standouts from years of time with awkward teens, and overindulging "leaders" ie. Kids as adults helping kids... 10 out of 10 hilarious and a perfect satire of fun!

9/10 stars for me. Love the song they sing at the end in the van. Girl in the hat was kinda "bouncey," if that makes sense, and I thought her performance had a lot of heart. It's like someone took the movie Jesus camp and turned it into the Office. Definitely worth watching! Pop some popcorn, pack a bowl, and laugh as this movie reminds you of just how weird youth group truly was.

My wife and I watched this movie and laughed so hard. We both grew up going to youth groups and camp. It made us laugh because the youth pastor was a mix of every horrible youth leader we have had. Rent this one if you have been to camp. It's just a fun watch that will make you laugh and remember how insane youth groups can be.

I was raised Evangelical and am an Atheist, and really wanted to like this movie. The first third was hilarious, but then it started to get more and more stupid. It could have explored more the beliefs and made fun of them. Instead, it concentrated in the (extremely) childish competitions that were not even well acted. To add insult to injury, the shaky camera and constant zooming in and out almost ruined this movie. I know it is supposed to look like a documentary, but they overdid it. Pity. Missed opportunity.

Growing up going to youth group and church camp, this movie hit all the nostalgia feels in the best way possible. I loved how they poked fun at all the things I found ridiculous at the time (or seem weird now looking back) but also had moments where characters were really genuine and sincere.

Also, so many "Christian" movies are WEIRD and cringe in a bad way so I loved how they took risks and made it genuinely funny.
