Firstly Sterling K. Brown looked either high or coming from a mini crying session in the bathroom for the entire movie. This is basically a black movie version of The Righteous Gemstones, and even though they both follow run of the mill satire, this was way on the nose and just not as good. It was written to be funny but most of the jokes really don't land. I only had one genuine chuckle. It's less of a movie and more of a behind the scenes of a documentary about a religious leader's scandal. And it's one of those pastors who preach about prayer and reading the Bible without actually talking about what's inside, I only recall one Bible quote, everything else was just vibes, that "oh hallelujah, mmmmh jesssuuss....you feel that, oh praise him!" type.
How on the nose everything was also kept making the next 10-15min of the movie predictable, and all shenanigans started to feel repetitive. There was nothing special about it. Only good thing about it was Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall performances in it. The ending was underwhelming as well, an unenthused finale to a mediocre movie. Go watch The Righteous Gemstones instead if you're looking for a funnier attempt at religious satire.
