This is certainly not a great movie. It's not even a good movie. But it is an entertaining movie which is fun to watch.
Here's some reasons you might want to watch this: 1. It's fun, in a crazy way. The director's choices are so weird that they can be funny and it is entertaining just to see what he'll come up with next.
2. If you find inept film-making charming or amusing this will be worth it.
3. If you're open to new outlooks on Christ and Christianity, you might find it interesting.
Here's some reasons you might want to stay away: 1. If you can't stand bad film-making this will drive you nuts. The script is terrible, the concept is goofy, the acting (except Phil Caracas and Maria Moulton) is awful, photography and editing are dreadful.
2. Avoid if you're squeamish about lesbians or blood and gore.
3. If you're looking for a film that makes fun of Jesus, this isn't it. At the beginning there are perhaps a few laughs from a guy looking like your stereotypical Jesus doing kung fu but for most of the film the stereotype is jettisoned and the character of Jesus is rebuilt from scratch (good thing too, as the joke would have become old really quickly). This new Jesus is a sympathetic enough guy and the juxtaposition of his new persona with elements of the stereotype can be quite funny. Personally I'm fond of the nightclub singer Blind Jimmy Leper pointing out "our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" as a celebrity in the crowd, followed by polite applause.
Don't expect too much, and you can have a good time with this.
