    Very compelling. Cheesy staged visuals during a lot of the narration, but that didn't take much away from the meat of the message.

    If not for the on-the-nose feminist rant and the message of women not needing men (note: we both need each other), this would've been better. But it had enough good bits and laugh-out-loud moments for me that I can't crap on it too much.

    Totally a nostalgic pleasure for me.

    Pros:
    - Phil Hartman
    - 90's nostalgia
    - The guy that played Larry.

    Cons:
    - Hard to feel a threat from those two dunderhead mobsters
    - Jokes are pretty dated
    - The goth daughter's obsession with old poets didn't really seem realistic to me
    - The little girl was kind of annoying, as most precocious little kids in movies are to me
    - Sinbad's constant talking can get old
    - I had to really suspend my disbelief to accept that Sinbad's character can get away with his identity theft for so long and through so many situations

    My takeaways from this are...

    *Ben Price is a really good impersonator of famous people.
    *Evangelism is hard.
    *Christian movies are not usually good at creating organic-looking social situations.
    *Ray Comfort is a brave, brave man.
    *Whoever wrote the script must have an easily satisfied sense of humor.
    *I don't know if this film really succeeds as an evangelism tool or a movie, but it does give you things to think about.
