Not Another Church Movie

When I sat down to watch the 2024 comedy "Not Another Church Movie", I must admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations. The premise of the movie just didn't really prove all that interesting, and the fact that the movie had Mickey Rourke on the cast list as the Devil and Jamie Foxx as God, well that didn't exactly entice my in the least bit.

Writer and director Johnny Mack swung and missed. The storyline in this movie was devoid of funny situations, and I didn't even laugh a single time throughout the course of the 90 minutes that the movie ran for.

The acting performances in the movie were fair, though the actors and actresses had very little to work with. It was a bit of a surprise to see Vivica A. Fox in a movie such as this. It was painful to watch Jamie Foxx stumbling about on the screen in the role of God. And Mickey Rourke, well he just stood around and melted a bit more.

If you enjoy comedy spoof movies, then your money and time is better spent elsewhere, because "Not Another Church Movie" was a pretty weak movie. And it was quite a struggle to sit through 90 minutes of this ordeal. This 2024 movie from writer and director Johnny Mack was a parody and spoof of the numerous Tyler Perry movies.

And believe me when I say that I am never returning to watch this movie a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend to fans of the comedy genre.

My rating of "Not Another Church Movie" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

I've seen Founder's Day. I've seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3. I've seen Mea Culpa. I've even seen Thankskilling 3. All of those movies are masterpieces of cinema compared to the incoherent train wreck that is Not Another Church Movie. This movie is chock full of atrocious direction, editing, and writing in this 90 minute dumpster fire with nary a laugh to be had. Jamie Foxx clearly shot his scenes in a day, Mickey Rourke shot his horribly rendered green screen scenes in probably an hour, and everyone else in the movie just downright stinks. 45 minutes in, I literally had no idea what was going on with the characters and plot lines. It's just a series of random scenes, non-sequiters, and general nonsense. Even the worst Tyler Perry movie is better than this dreck. Hands down, the worst movie of the decade so far, and it's not even close. I have no idea how this made it to cinemas.

Humour is subjective, yes, but this movie was so unfunny that I couldn't be bothered to sit trough all of it. I stopped watching around the 30 minute mark during some kind of picnic scene, after a guy caught on fire and more terrible jokes. I watched this because I felt in the mood for spoof/comedy movies, and Not Another Church Movie killed it. I do not know what is going on in the background, apparently this parody was made to spite another director because he had fired a writer for not being funny enough. If said writer is behind this movie, I'm siding with the director that didn't find him funny. I recognized the character that played God and I have to wonder why would he sign up for this, he's a really famous person that was in Spider-Man movies, has he fallen off?

This was a horrible parody movie. The storyline was boring and not funny at all. I wish I could get a refund. I was also not comfortable how God was portrayed. He was using profanity. Very surprised Jamie Foxx would take a role like this but he is an actor. Please do not waste your money or time on this one. I didn't watch the previews or check the reviews prior to going out and watching this horrible movie. It could have been a straight to DVD movie to be totally honest. I think it was a disgrace to Tyler Perry as well. All of his movie haven't been the greatest either but trust me, his worse movie was 20 times better than this one.

I just don't know what to say. It's just.....so bad! Some of the actors sounded like they were reading. I definitely understood what it was SUPPOSED to be, but, it wasn't giving at all. I went to sleep the first night I tried to watch, and struggled through, the next. When it came out, and it was for rent, something told me to just wait.... I'm glad I did. I tried my best to support, and if you are looking for something to just pass the time while you clean, or, for some background noise, this is the movie for you. I hope everyone who participated, were paid well, because i literally watched this movie with a straight face.
