The 4th grade level of humor on display here makes the charmingly goofy 'Napoleon Dynamite' seem positively Shakespearean by comparison.
The cast seems stifled by suffocating boredom with their own film.
It's an amiable film, kind of funny in places, not too irritating when it's not funny, and it passes the time pleasantly (if blandly).
A punchier script with more quips certainly would have helped Baptists become more than merely a mild diversion, and maybe more than just a local sensation.
My church showed this for movie night and it was awful. Corny, predictable, little substance, just very disappointing.

What a very funny movie! I laughed most of the time, I just wish that they wouldn't have left out so many funny and important details from the book! (PG for violence and vulgar thematic elements)
