“No matter what you might think this is about from the title, youu0026#39;re wrong. IOW, donu0026#39;t not see the film because of it. Itu0026#39;s neither a polemic mocking religious faith, nor does it say anything about religion except maybe why donu0026#39;t we all just sit down and start over. All four primary characters are superbly cast, including Danny Glover who is about 3 steps above anything Iu0026#39;ve ever seen him in before. The subject matter is handled respectfully, albeit with liberal amounts of humor which zeros in on the fact that most religions take themselves way to seriously–which the production company apparently takes to heart, naming itself Pigasus (sic) Pictures.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is about as perfect as you can expect an independent film to be. Itu0026#39;s only flaw is there being too much lipstick on Daniel–which is so obvious, I wondered if they just wanted to give the audience something to criticize. Needless to say, thereu0026#39;s no actual action for the action junkies, but the dialogue and the subject matter are outstanding–and at times, profound. This is my second u0026quot;10u0026quot; of the year, (18th all time), the first being only a week ago, so I was wondering if coming out of the summer movie drought has something to do with it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39; doesnu0026#39;tu0026#39;.”
