Faith Based

I accidentally came across this project. I do not fully understand what really interested me - the title, the abstract or the poster. But I firmly decided to spend 4 hours of my time watching this video.

And he did not regret it.

It's hard for me to call what I watched a comedy. To be honest, I smiled only in two moments and never once laughed out loud.

But there is something in this film. The picture is not full of philosophical meanings about the meaning of being and true friendship. The characters make you feel for them. Perhaps you can see yourself in them - an adventurous and talented person who cannot or does not want to put all of himself into business or simply find his niche in life.

It's a 7/10 and not a point below. I recommend watching.

As someone who has endured all three of the God's Not Dead Trilogy, I can assure you that this film does not suck. It has well-written dialogue (only took a point off for some of the more cornier lines), interesting and fun characters, REAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF SAID CHARACTERS, a famous guest star that isn't Kirk Cameron, and so much more! If you're a big fan of satire, but with a purpose, Please do yourself a favor and watch this!

This movie overcomes its low budget and delivers on story and laughs. It has a lot of heart, great cameos, and solid performances all around.

Please note: Don't judge it based on its title. This is not a skewering of religion. Far from it. Nor is it an endorsement of religion. It's just a light-hearted movie that entertains for 90 minutes. I don't know about anyone else, but that pretty much fits what I want to see in a comedy nowadays.

NOT funny. Then why did it look funny in the trailer? Because the idea for the story was kinda funny.

The bad: the 2 leading actors are bland. Way below average. AND they do not have any comical skills whatsoever.

More bad: a nice trailer can be made out of anything worthless, so it goes to show, but a really funny movie is hard work and you need a GREAT WRITER and GREAT ACTORS as a bare minimum. This movie lacked both.

Completely forgettable...

The director and screenwriter have made the project their joint effort. They put together a humorous, poking kind of humorous piece that satire 'Ly indicts the whole world of faith-based filmmaking. The two add their hoax on the character of the movie, imparting some fairy-tale colors to the whole thing by using their appropriately structured understanding of this genre. They are not bashing perceived imperfections in faith-based production; instead, Masciale and Barnette take a lighter approach that ribs and lovingly mocks the very stereotypical and extremely exaggerated figures usually found in the genre. It is therein that they find their equal way of twisting between fun and reverence by creating an enjoyable and rather comically absurd parody of the aforementioned genre with some industriousness on their behalf-a new take on faith-based cinema. Working together, Masciale and Barnett make a film that retains entertainment value while inviting audiences themselves to question some of the conventions and tropes surrounding faith-based storytelling, creating an interpretation of the genre that provides nuance alongside playfulness, assuring resonance with viewers.
