A Disappointing Continuation

A different way of telling a story

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The film shows some of the complete hoax that is Christianity. Namely the fact that preachers, pastors, parsons, and so on are con artists who stand up and lie to their congregations every week. There is no "God", god is a character in the fictional book the Bible. So they talk nonsense about an imaginary characters plan for those in the audience. Stupid comes up and asks how does one know what gods plan is for them? Exactly the point, there is no god, there is therefore no plan from god. It's complete garage and it doesn't do anyone any good to believe in such nonsense. Of course the Christians are in complete self delusion and lap up this nonsense that is preached to them. It's just such garbage, it's fake, it's phony, it's the cause of self-righteous judgmental thinking that they are holier than thou. That they are somehow "saved" and must inflict their delusional thinking onto others that they may be saved. I wish I'd not bothered watching this movie as it's a bore, it's not funny, it goes the way of drama and artificial redemption. What it is is a drama film about some guys scamming a charity. Then they have a change of heart. What looks like it's pointing fun at the ridiculousness of this religion is actually a story about said guys having a change of ways. The implication is that the power of god while they were on tour is the cause of this change of heart. So as in my title, it's a Christian movie as it shows the power of god at work in the lives of these sinners. It's enough to make you puke but at least Christianity is being phased out in the NWO.

My personal rating is a 9, but it's objectively probably a 7.Believe Me is an excellent take on the "Christian" world, or Christian culture, if you will. You can't really call it a Christian film; you just can't. There are plenty of christians who hate, loathe and are embarrassed by the "art" that gets passed on to our churches and friends and uncles and aunts and parents, etc. as "Christian art". They don't seem Christian or even like art, really. The director of Believe Me must've felt the same way based on the way he satirizes the modern church experience. But he goes further and develops characters who face difficult spiritual and ethical decisions. And not in any cookie cutter type of way. Though Believe Me occasionally displays some lower budget vibes and some convenient plotting, it makes up for in writing and performance. The leads are more captivating than any other fresh faces you've ever come across. Plus, it feature Christopher McDonald and Nick F***ing Offerman. I wish I had when I was growing up...

The start of the movie was hilarious with some comedy bits but it kinda didn't last more than 25 minutes , then the serious Drama rigid stuff came out. To be fair it's a nice movie , well written, well casting , the main characters were generally funny. as a good doer myself and activist in charities (so humble, right!! :D ) the storyline sounded a bit more complicated than it usually is. but maybe that's how charities in the name of Jesus works. .. don't know. anyway,, the movie was acceptable would recommend watching it with family on pizza night :D generally, if you're Christian then you'll be jumping up and down out of faith, but if you're something else so you'll see that 5/10 is good score. also i gotta say "Max Adler" this guy is gonna be something i'v seen him on "Switched at Birth" before and he's got a real talent, and here he was the comic whiff that the movie needed.

This movie was SO funny! I absolutely enjoyed watching it! I love the way it pokes fun at religion and makes you think about it. It was entertaining and thought provoking. For sure one of my new favorite movies. The cast is also incredible. Nick Offerman is one of my all time favorite actors and to see him in this made it that much better. And the fact that Alex Russell is in it doesn't hurt. He plays his character flawlessly and his looks aren't bad either. The cast, director and writers did a phenomenal job on this film. I highly recommend it to people of all walks of life. I don't know anyone who wouldn't find this move entertaining. GO SEE BELIEVE ME!
