Dr_Seymour_Sheckles I found this movie at my local library of all places. The cover caught my eye. I avoided it for awhile but eventually ran out of stuff to watch so I grabbed this. It's not the kind of movie that will have you laughing from start to finish but it has some good jokes and ideas in it. It's bizarre at times but I get it. It's kind of a stoner comedy. I'm surprised it's not more well known. In my eyes Stevie Little can do no wrong, so of course as soon as I saw he was in it, I had to watch it. He does his usual schtick. It's not amazing but worth a watch. The Japanese girls bit is really funny. It's not the kinda movie for everyone though.I have it at 6/10.

English B (EnglishLaguna) I've learned that most people don't like to be confused by the movies they watch. They don't like to have to think about things too deeply, and get reeeeallyy p*ssed off when a movie "has no ending." To the viewer who pretty much lives for movies fitting that description, do yourself a favor and watch this. Don't pay attention to the trailer, this is not a summer buddy movie. It's not slapstick. Don't prep your diaphragm for fart jokes (although yes technically they exist). Be ready for something that makes no sense, but also be ready for that fact to be a little inside joke(which paradoxically *makes* it make sense). Also, please don't be too religious or catholic before viewing.

Susan Carroll Very interesting review and personal critique of the movie. I loved it. :-) I thought it was very witty and clever, but then again, I love black comedies... and this movie definitely qualifies in my opinion.At first, I thought it was a simple comedy, slapstick really... until the end. I don't think it was about a mentally challenged adult though, however that assessment is hilarious.In my opinion, I think the movie is much darker than what appears on the surface. I don't think Steve Little's character is mentally challenged at all. Personally, what I took from the movie was that his character was extremely innocent and childlike... until he returned from his sabbatical. I saw many signs that he suffered from mild schizophrenia, which developed into paranoid schizophrenia towards the end of the movie. The highlight of such being at the very end where he starts running in a panic and seeing things that weren't there. He was obviously in fear for his life by an unknown threat...It makes you question how much of his sabbatical was real and how much was imagined... especially considering the impossible scenarios he experienced while camping out. I don't even think "Robbie" was a "real" person. I think he represented the inner duality conflict within Father William, which having dealt with those issues while he was gone... he returned a new man. A much more somber and "wiser to the world" adult. This can obviously be interpreted as negative as much as positive.The only part I really didn't get was at the very end, after his bible session... he received a bible and he smelled it. What did I miss?~Suki

Luis Blanco-Nazoa I just saw the movie at the SXSW film festival with my daughters. We loved it. Not only because it is delightfully weird but also because it's funny, very funny, even by "mumblecore" standards. (The director is a founding member of that movement. Google it if you've never heard of it.) It's one of those daring little flicks that grabs religion by the balls and shakes it left and right until it pukes. And then there's the acting. Excellent, considering the uniqueness of the script and the irreverence of the subject matter. Father Billy will crack you up in just about every scene.If you're into odd and peculiarly funny stuff, this movie is a must see. But if you're one of those folks who gets easily offended when artists mess around with religion or religious institutions, don't bother. This movie may kill you. Just consider this as a warning: The movie features a song called "God will f... you up". Now, that's irreverent. Keep an eye on this movie if it plays in a theater near you. I doubt it, but you'd never know. God works in mysterious ways. LBlancoNazoa
