"Evan Almighty" is the most overtly religious film since "Passion of the Christ" |
|
and that one had more laughs.
:D So says the Ebert stand-in on Ebert & Roeper.

The reviews were scathing. I think they called it the worst movie of the year.
Two thumbs up for Sicko, though. :thumbsup:

4. It was a pro-environment movie... |
|
if you want to promote a cause, you have to speak the idiot's language. If you want to show that there's a hypocrisy tying religion and business, you have to speak in a religious language.
Unfortunately those of us who aren't religious can't get past the religious language. So let's assume that the message isn't directed toward us, k?
(Got that?)

I actually thought Bruce Almighty was good. But this one looks TERRIBLE.

6. Religious groups have been giving away tickets, so that doesn't surprise me... |
|
I thought Bruce Almighty was pretty irreverent, not really religious. This explains a lot about what I didn't understand.
