Absolutely Fantastic

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Despite the cover art (and the DVD label itself, which is even more misleading), this is not a Sandra Bullock movie. See that tiny guy in the corner? He is the star of this movie. On the DVD itself, only his head is visible at the bottom of the disc, while Ms. Bullock takes up nearly half the image. While this movie does have Sandra Bullock in it, she only plays a minor role as the main character's girlfriend, and is in about five short scenes in the whole film. And I'm not sure where the picture of her with brown hair and a red dress came from, since in this movie she has black hair, wears glasses, and never wears anything close to that elegant.But enough about misleading cover art. While the concept is fascinating, and could make a great movie, the filmmakers here really dropped the ball. This movie is bad. Unfortunately, it's not bad enough to fall into the categories of "it's so bad it's good" or "movies that are fun to make fun of". The story goes nowhere, and the ending is so quick, nonsensical, and clichéd, that it appears that they had no idea how the movie was going to end and panicked when they realized they were running out of time. Add to that that the picture and sound quality on the DVD are terrible (about the level I would expect for something taped on a VCR circa 1985 on the lowest quality setting), and this movie simply isn't worth getting.

This was just about one of the worst movies I have seen! It is about a guy who is fired from his job and while very drunk is supposedly visited and told by God to start a new religion. He decides to start a self-satisfaction religion causing a huge uproar. It was, in my opinion, 81 minutes of pure torture. Sandra Bullock is advertised blatantly on the cover but she has only a very small role. She does well in her role, but it is too small to help the movie any. The movie honestly has no plot, and pretty bad acting. The end is quite bad, showing Sandra Bullock's character getting back with her lazy, jerky boyfriend. In reality, he deserved to be dumped- considering his made-up religion gets her beat-up and hospitalized. I would not recommend watching, renting, or buying this movie unless you are into movies with bad acting and no plot. If you do happen to watch this movie, I suggest you get into a vegetative state as this is the only way you will get through the entire movie.

This movie, "Religion, Inc.", was made before any of us knew who Sandra Bullock was. Here she has a relatively minor role, but is prominently featured on the DVD cover, wearing a nice red dress which doesn't appear anywhere in the movie. Plus, they are marketing it as "A Fool And His Money". We fell for it! We bought a copy at $5, and it is barely worth $1, for the quality of the DVD but even less for the movie. Seriously, there are better DVDs available for $1. You may wonder "What is wrong with it?" Fair question. First, the sound is inferior, kind of fuzzy, listed as stereo but sounds closer to mono. Second, the picture is not even as good as good VHS quality. Third, there are chapters and nothing else, as basic a DVD as you can find. Still, all that would not be terrible, had it contained a good movie.The movie is a very cheesy "B" grade movie at best. "The Lord" tells the protagonist to start a business, so he starts a company called "religion, Inc", to establish a new religion. It works for a while, but then trouble strikes. So far, such a premise has promise for a different kind of comedy. Unfortunately the writer had no vision and everything falls flat in the second half. The only redeeming quality is that it runs a short 80 minutes.SPOILERS FOLLOW, for my recollection. Trying to think of a name for the new religion, they pick the opposite of "Protestant", the "Preferant" church, which preaches it is OK to look out for yourself and accumulate wealth and advancement. It is OK to have extramarital affairs and to take advantage of the less fortunate. A janitor with a PHD in Philosophy becomes the "spiritual leader." Even though the new religion, which plays on followers' dark desires, flourishes, the founders have chest pains which can only be relieved when they go straight. Cheesy, hokey, choose your adjective, but we found it a total waste of 80 minutes. Except to see a young Sandra Bullock with acting promise.

This is the worst movie I have seen in a long time. I watched it all the way through hoping for some redeeming ending but there was none. I was very glad to see that this is only the second movie for Sandra Bullock.
