An average movie

Posted : 10 years, 10 months ago on 10 May 2013 08:29

As usual, I had no idea hat is this movie was about before watching the damned thing and, honestly, for most of its duration, I thought it was rather confusing. I mean, even though I find religion interesting, I'm not a religious person and I really had a hard time figuring out what they were doing with this story. I mean, was it a straightforward comedy which just happened to take place in a Christian High-School or was it a satire poking fun at those establishments? Eventually, it finally became clear during the 3rd act. Indeed, according to the makers, those Christian schools got it all wrong as Jesus loves everyone of us, even the gay, the crippled, the Jews or the teenage pregnant girl. To be honest, even though the idea was not bad, I thought it took them forever to get to that point and before that it was rather unfocused in my opinion. Still, I thought it was rather original with a pretty cool cast (Jena Malone, Mandy Moore, Macaulay Culkin, Patrick Fugit, Heather Matarazzo, Eva Amurri Martino, Mary-Louise Parker). My favorite characters were easily the ones portrayed by Eva Amurri Martino and Macaulay Culkin (yeah, apparently, the small dude from 'Home Alone' is still making some movies very occasionally). To conclude, even though it was not entirely successful, it still remain an intriguing comedy and it is definitely worth a look.
