I liked it and just wondered if anyone else did.

why do you always INCLUDE all capitalized words in you topic title? :?

I loved it. So funny. The acting got a little soap opera-y at points, but if you appreciate a good christian joke, you'll love the movie.

im gonna prolly see it, even though it sorta looks low budget from the trailers. eh, o well, so did another great movie....

Just to ANNOY some people. Consider it a stylistic thing. :)

it reminds me of that crazy teacher from daria

It just so happens that my wife & I love Daria - we watch her whenever we get a chance. Maybe I was subliminally influenced...

i tell you mtv went downhill after they canceled that and clone high

Clone High... damn good stuff. Anyone seen Goodbye Lenin? Heard it's good, need to get off my duff and see it.

((bump))

I didn't go because I figured it was goign to be a bunch of church propaghanda

was it?

Not at all - it would appeal to any open-minded person whether or not they were religious.

OH kuhl... I thought it was trying to make christianity popular with the youths or something

Hehe...one of the funnier satires I've seen in my time.

was it as bad as I thought it would be?

It very much felt like a 'first feature film' with a lot of first misteps, and I felt that the ending was a little bit of a wuss out, but thats because I was going in expecting a 'teenage monster movie where the monsters are the christian kids,' something I had heard in a review somewhere. Ultimately the ending was about as much as you could expect, though I was reminded of the Australian film The Devil's Playground. It's the same sentiment, though clearly not as funny.

Overall, it was alright. Certainly funny if you've been the 'heretic' in a religous school as I have been.

Really depends on how much of a sense of humour you have about yourself, as I feel this movie is making fun of you pretty soundly.

so was the film anti-christian or just anti-popular girls?

so was the film anti-christian or just anti-popular girls?It was neither. It was anti-zealotry if it was anti anything.

Likely you'll read that as anti-christian.

Likely you'll read that as anti-christian....? what's that supposed to mean?

*coughraysiaisazealotcough*no offense

Just being pissy. I actually thought it was a bit much after I posted, but the server chunked up and I didn't have the patience to fix it. Sorry.

*coughraysiaisazealotcough*no offenseno offense? how exactly am I a zealot?

That movie answered all of my questions about why Christian school girls are pregnant...

They screw their boyfriends to cure them of homosexuality because Jesus told them when they were drowning in a swimming pool! Why couldn't I see before? :P

((bump))

I saw it and liked it very much because it showed how any kind of religious extremism, no matter how innocuous it seems, is just a self-righteous guise for often deeply disturbed and dangerous individuals.

In other news, I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 tonight. It was awesome.

I liked it a lot--wrote a review of it on my blog. (http://incertus.blogpsot.com)

CTOAN is exactly right when he notes that it's anti-zealot, not anti-Christian. The end is a little weak and sappy, but the final moment (spoiler alert) where Pastor Skip gets out of his car with the flowers and is arguing with himself seemed the perfect note to close on--this man who embodies the absolute knowledge of right and wrong is completely uncertain and has no clue what to do. I'm also very glad that the film ends before Pastor Skip makes up his mind. It's a form of anti-closure that the film needed.
