I understand the need for spoof and indie cinema, which empowers film makers to come up with random Idas with minimal budget to explore their artistic side. But I still feel there has to be some sense of meaning here as well with respect to the message that is being said. This film again misses on that and comes out as an amateurish attempt at comedy.
Jesus is kicked out of Heaven for being a homosexual, stripped of his powers and cast down to Earth as punishment. He suffers a mental breakdown and creates an alter ego as a wizard. After an altercation, an Atheist jerk, a poor guy down on his luck, and a woman with a strange religious fetish discover his true identity. They ultimately decide to try and help Jesus get his powers back, but not without catching the attention of some maniacal protesters in town.
This is nothing to do with me being judgmental about religious parody or hurting anyone's emotions; but I thought that the film was simply bad. And this may be my personal feedback. The film could have been better , for sure. The story is the perfect parody of that thought process. The film takes several jabs at contradictory principles found in the bible while delivering some pretty fucking funny moments. But the execution falters big time. I didn't even chuckle, forget smiling. In fact, you could find me rolling my eyes. All in all, its a very very niche film for people who are into weird fanatic twisted comedies that rarely makes most people laugh. Ignore this one as well. (1.5/10)
