...can be draining for those, like myself, who get enough of these people already in our daily lives

The filmmakers are out to demonize, not humanize, which means their movie ends up preaching to the liberal choir instead of shedding any real light into the evangelical Christian movement.
09/29/06
Filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady lump all evangelicals together, failing to distinguish the more fundamentalist Pentecostals, and they've clumsily inserted some unnecessary editorializing from talk-radio host Mike Papantonio.

Jesus Camp doesn't just preach to the converted, it bores and frightens them

I sympathize with the directors' agenda, but this is a movie in which shots of American flags and 'God Bless the U.S.A.' signs are supposed to be as ominous as hammer-and-sickle insignia in a 'duck and cover' propaganda film.

[Ewing and Grady] take the techniques of the Jesus campers too close to heart: Admit no doubt and keep preaching until they've got the point.

By gilding the lily so shamelessly, Ewing and Grady guarantee they'll preach only to the converted.

Some lively material - but nothing new.

The doc these kids would make with flea market camcorders couldn't possibly be as ugly as this absurdly hypocritical critique of the far right's role in escalating the culture war.

Camp, pardon the pun, is preaching to the converted, and it isn't strong enough to sway anyone sitting on the fence.

It knows what it's looking for and, once it finds it, it serves it up to its own chosen audience of Blue Staters. It's the flip side of its own subjects. It's preaching to the unconverted.

Top CriticIt might be too much to ask for a little more diversity in the movie's subjects. Aren't there any boring, conventionally innocent kids marching in God's army?
