evans_angie It's not that I didn't like the film, I did. It's just that why did they (the characters) have to go on and on about something that was so unimportant to them: the festival. You see, the music festival they were attending was a sham. It wasn't even the real thing, as is evidenced by the fact that there were so many amateurs involved in it. Sure, they dress up and they play their parts well.It's just that, to me, the festival being a sham influenced my vote of it. Maybe if it was a real documentary or rockumentary, if you will, I'd believe it more, and I wouldn't be so offended by the joke (of the festival being a group of real Christ worshipers), and catch on with the music. The music was great, it's just the premise that I didn't agree with. I'd see it again, if it was in the right context (like a Bible study group or church outing), but I'd make sure my kids weren't around. I don't want them to get caught on this thing of making the Bible into a joke.

Nick Saucer This movie bent the rules a little too much for me, but I liked it all the same. If you're ever in a tough spot, might as well watch this film. It was inspirational (the music was, anyway). The only thing I didn't like about it was the way they portrayed Christianity: as a joke. Other than that I'd give it a thumbs up. It's just that nowadays, not much is held sacred anymore, so to think that my religion is being spoofed at bugs me. It was funny, though. I guess a Christian can have a sense of humor, too...I loved the rappers and the Bible belting bands that punked it up. It just goes to show that Christian bands really can rock!!

ambwaves I loved this movie!! I especially liked the music! I catch myself humming their beats often. What I loved about it was the characters. They were mesmerizing at times with their shenanigans, and at others, I totally felt their pain...like when Angie Hynes in all her miserable glory is moaning on a piano to God in an over-sexualized tone. I felt her pain. I also felt her pain when her band broke up...too bad, so sad.Let's say that you give this film a 10...I didn't because it was a little slow at times...you'd be crazy not to note that every player on this team of a film felt great about what they did, and it showed on camera. Their lines were hilarious, and their beats were, like I say, a little slow at times, but at best lively and upbeat, and at worst, a bit on the moronic side, but funny. I'd give this film a 10 if it weren't for that pesky couple that keeps breaking up the action. A smoother flow would have been better. Other than that, my rating would be top notch. I'd see it again.

quixote23 Let's face it, Christians are pretty easy targets sometimes, and amateur Christian musicians even more so. "...And On The 7th Day, God Rocked" could have easily lapsed into mean-spirited parody right out of the gate, but to writer-director Jason Page's credit, it doesn't - rather, it's a remarkably accurate and often hilarious examination of the whole Christian music scene and the motivations of those who get caught up in it.Despite a few moments of over-extension (the delusional husband of the concert organiser who idolises televangelists and believes that Jesus is a literal, invisible presence sitting in the chair next to him), for the most part the satire hits home. A large part of why this works is the guileless sincerity of everyone involved; t-shirts being sold at the show portray a tattooed God with an electric guitar throwing up that classic rock-star devil's horns and no one bats an eye, and when asked about other faiths, various subjects - recognising that they're on camera - fumble around trying not to sound as biased as they actually are.It's the bands themselves who really sell the film, however. The foul-mouthed, ex-convict brothers, recently born-again, in the metal band Saviour; "Old Testament" rappers Sons of Abraham; Angie Hynes, who has dragged her long-suffering band from punk to Christian country music in an attempt to achieve some kind of success; and the folk band Glory Authority, who are intent on spreading a message of universal acceptance and brotherly love. Make no mistake, their music is pretty awful - but it's no worse than anything else Contemporary Christian music has to offer, which is sort of the point."God Rocked" is not an unfair jab - Page is not targeting a religious group on the whole, but a particular industry and the mindsets of the people involved in it. The film manages to be a surprisingly incisive satire while at the same time maintaining a sympathetic tone: for all their questionable and\or misguided motives, the musicians are presented as unquestionably sincere. You may not find yourself rooting for any of them to win the contest (like I said, their music is really, really terrible) but it's hard to fault them for their sheer, self-involved enthusiasm.
