  Too much swearing, violence and weirdness
  
  Its quirky, indulgent and violent in places. Oh and I just hate the continual use of the F-word. Not all of the jokes work and the ending just sinks into ... read more »

  Definitely not for the devout !

  This is quite possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen.

  Too weird
  
  Didn't get into this at all, switched off after 30 mins. Maybe if I had a Catholic upbringing it might have made some sense.

  This irreverent film was witty & smart with subtle references to theological and classical texts. It happily pokes fun at the church, modern secularism, ... read more »

  Apart from Linda Fiorentino, who can do no wrong in my eyes, this was a disappointing film with weak acting, a lame script and unoriginal ideas. As a satire it ... read more »

  The people who made this need to watch Life of Brian if they really want to learn how to make a good film about religion.
