Playing God

While in the Good standing not much is good about this. Alan's role in this was phenomenal, truly showing some of the depth of his skill, the rest fall a bit as they are not very well written. Much of the movie isn't well written but it's at least one with heart.

Finally a movie that isn't propaganda based, not even on a particular religious based. The movie had great shots, decent to okay dialogue but the story just wasn't there, it wasn't real and I didn't believe it, it was kind of hard to believe much of the "backstory" but whatever, it's a movie at a time when Hollywood pumps propaganda. - Check this one out.

Mind you it is more drama based than Alan's usual brands of comedy. Just keep that in mind and you'll enjoy this film. It's not the best out there but at least it's a step away from the garbage of modern Hollywood. Rent or Stream this one is worth a watch.

Playing God is an enjoyable family movie that provides a relatable story around the "why" question we would all ask of a higher power if given the opportunity. The writing is solid, neither relying heavily on vilifying or over-selling the idea, and cinematography is beautiful.

Very well done debut by Scott Brignac and his team at Watershed Motion Pictures.

I love Alan Tudyk and Michael McKean. They really bring a lot to this story. It's a family friendly film. It's not a $$$$ movie, but there are some nice moments. We enjoyed it.

As usual, don't pay attention to the trailer or the fact that this is listed as comedy before drama. This movie was not what I expected at all... in a very good way. This isn't a film about two wise cracking con artists out to get the evil rich guy just because they can. This is a story of a man who lost his daughter and goes on a mission to find God, presumably to get him to explain why she was taken from him. At the same time, twin brother and sister career criminals owe a very bad man a lot of money, and are given the opportunity to con the grieving man and rob him of his fortune. This is all told to you in the first 10 minutes of the movie, which is why I am not marking this as containing spoilers. The unlikely result of this story is a well written, well acted, deep, and at times heart wrenching series of events. Alan Tudyk's performance in particular stands out above the rest for me. I could legitimately feel his pain in every scene. Please understand that I very rarely mark anything above an 8 out of 10, so do not take my rating of 7 to mean this to be mediocre by any means. Just go into this knowing that it's a lot more serious than what you may expect. I had no idea this was even being released; didn't even hear the title or read the description until yesterday, but I'm glad I watched it. Give it a chance, I think you will be too.

Wow! What a refreshing plot line. Loved seeing Michael McKean and this does not disappoint. I only know Alan T from dodgeball and really got to see his full range in this. That said, the main 2 characters were amazing, especially the sister.

Thought provoking and I recommend to anyone who's interested in something different from the same old same old story lines.

Also loved the shots of Houston and use of what seems to be a drone for the videography.
