I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since there was a decent cast, I thought I might as well check it out. Eventually, I thought it was seriously underwhelming.

" First Viewing Viewing Date: May 7th Via: DVD Plot: A pastor preoccupied with writing the perfect sermon fails to realize that his wife is having an affair, and his children are up to no good. Rating: 6.7/10 Why Did I Watch It? It's a dark British comedy starring Rowan Atkinson which has eluded me for too long. I heard it mentioned again recently and I decided I should watch it before I forget about it again."
