Very well executed
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
I found this movie at my local library of all places. The cover caught my eye. I avoided it for awhile but eventually ran out of stuff to watch so I grabbed this. It's not the kind of movie that will have you laughing from start to finish but it has some good jokes and ideas in it. It's bizarre at times but I get it. It's kind of a stoner comedy. I'm surprised it's not more well known. In my eyes Stevie Little can do no wrong, so of course as soon as I saw he was in it, I had to watch it. He does his usual schtick. It's not amazing but worth a watch. The Japanese girls bit is really funny. It's not the kinda movie for everyone though.I have it at 6/10.
As a practising Catholic, I can guarantee no Catholics were consulted in the making of this movie. If this is how atheists see religious people, no wonder there is great ridicule involved.From the priest who constantly wears his collar including on a canoe trip, to his naive, dorky nature, this movie couldn't be further from reality. I could go on and on how this is offensive and completely inaccurate but I no longer want to waste any more time thinking of this waste of 80 minutes of my life.I should have known better than to continue with the movie when I saw a burning Pentagram before the actual movie even started.Spare yourselves and stay as far away from this as you can.
Very interesting review and personal critique of the movie. I loved it. :-) I thought it was very witty and clever, but then again, I love black comedies... and this movie definitely qualifies in my opinion.At first, I thought it was a simple comedy, slapstick really... until the end. I don't think it was about a mentally challenged adult though, however that assessment is hilarious.In my opinion, I think the movie is much darker than what appears on the surface. I don't think Steve Little's character is mentally challenged at all. Personally, what I took from the movie was that his character was extremely innocent and childlike... until he returned from his sabbatical. I saw many signs that he suffered from mild schizophrenia, which developed into paranoid schizophrenia towards the end of the movie. The highlight of such being at the very end where he starts running in a panic and seeing things that weren't there. He was obviously in fear for his life by an unknown threat...It makes you question how much of his sabbatical was real and how much was imagined... especially considering the impossible scenarios he experienced while camping out. I don't even think "Robbie" was a "real" person. I think he represented the inner duality conflict within Father William, which having dealt with those issues while he was gone... he returned a new man. A much more somber and "wiser to the world" adult. This can obviously be interpreted as negative as much as positive.The only part I really didn't get was at the very end, after his bible session... he received a bible and he smelled it. What did I miss?~Suki
It's sad when the most memorable part of a movie is the closing credits song (in this case, "God will F*** you Up", Hilarious) Steve Little is Not an actor, and his attempts in this movie are truly cringe-worthy. You start snickering not because he's funny, but because like a bad traffic accident, you can't look away. It's always a bad sign when you come across as potentially having Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and his character manages it in this.I caught this on Netflix, and that's the only reason I ever saw this train wreck of a movie, and trust me, you will not want to waste your time on it.
