The Pastor and the Pro

The story of the Pastor and the Pro is much better than the seeming intrigue of the set up. The performances of the main stars are pretty good. Campbell is believable in the role of a working girl trying to tempt a virginal pastor, and Cox plays a convincing single pastor torn between holiness and self righteousness. The extras are cartoonish and the production quality is poor, but the writing is pretty strong. The struggles of the main characters seem real and their responses seem true to the characters. The movie was very funny, but not the farce that the title would suggest. The use of dramatic irony is funny and effective. A couple of the jokes don't land, but I feel that is more an issue of the edit and sound quality than of the writing, acting or directing. All in all, one of the better low budget, faith focused films I have seen.

This movie is a little gem whose splendor is to be viewed with wonder. It tackles the political tug of war between sex and religion with humor allowing us to question those things that we are told not to talk about in public. Go ahead I dare ya, watch and wonder my friends, watch and wonder.

Kelly Cunningham...why is she not busier ? she was wonderful, as was the actress who played Leah (the Pastor's niece.) I read somewhere that this movie cost $11,000to make, so how 'bout y'all bashers on here go make a better one for $11,000...i'll wait.

The best thing about this movie was the female lead. The male lead was not good, very wooden. Most other characters were cartoonish

Except how Cunningham rendered the character of Rachael, the rest of the cast could have used a few acting lessons and some better lines from the writers.

However, the actual message of this film was a fairly good demonstration of the grace of God as actally represented in Scripture. Most of the American and British media represent the Chrisitan faith as conservatism, mere moralism, conformity to societal standards or a form of cultural nationalism; either that or a foil for the triumph of iiberal humanism against an oppressive angry, judgemental and/or remote God or rebellion against the hypocracy of the sourrouding impersonal, industrial, oppressive capitalist society disguised as Christianity--anything but a message of the grace of a holy God for those he came to redeem.

This one actually demonstrated what real grace is about on a personal, human level. That's rare. It's not the best script by far, but the idea is close to a fairly accurate representation of what the Cross is about, al least on a pedestrian level.
