wrong. IOW, don't not see the film because of it. It's neither a
polemic mocking religious faith, nor does it say anything about
religion except maybe why don't we all just sit down and start over.
All four primary characters are superbly cast, including Danny Glover
who is about 3 steps above anything I've ever seen him in before. The
subject matter is handled respectfully, albeit with liberal amounts of
humor which zeros in on the fact that most religions take themselves
way to seriously--which the production company apparently takes to
heart, naming itself Pigasus (sic) Pictures.
This is about as perfect as you can expect an independent film to be.
It's only flaw is there being too much lipstick on Daniel--which is so
obvious, I wondered if they just wanted to give the audience something
to criticize. Needless to say, there's no actual action for the action
junkies, but the dialogue and the subject matter are outstanding--and
at times, profound. This is my second "10" of the year, (18th all
time), the first being only a week ago, so I was wondering if coming
out of the summer movie drought has something to do with it.
It' doesn't'.
