After seeing reviews for this film a long time ago it seems now and then realizing it wasn't coming to anyone theatre nearby, I got a little frustrated since it seemed this was going to be at least a entertaining film to watch.
After finally viewing it for the first time, I have to admit the only reason I get watching was in hope that it would get better and when the credits finally started to roll the only question I had was "what the **** was the point of that?" After the hype that came about early it seems clear that once the studios saw the movie they didn't think it'd do well in the theatre.
The cast is actually rather impressive and the actors are admirable for putting up with this screenplay. John Goodman is perhaps the best part of this film and has a good scene towards the end that reminds me of what a good actor he actually is.
In the beginning of the film 3 teenage boys head to this place in search of sex, which for anyone whose ever been a teenage boy, is a very believable thing to do and to be fair the movie started off in the right way and seemed to have a point but somewhere it lost it and was unable to retrieve it. The use of the teenagers is reprehensible, now having said that I went into this film thinking it was going to be a horror film so I was prepared for the violence. However the use of it towards the kids and other individuals was wrong and a little disturbing.
Being a fan of Kevin Smith films I was a little excited about this but it seems clear he should stick to his comedy films.
The last half of this film is one scene after another that makes you feel dirty and even though I'm used to dark tones in films this one seemed wanting nothing more then to have the audience turn away in disgust.
Now like I said, the film starts off strong by showing the lunacy of some of these religious groups that feel the need to shove their beliefs in our face. However these people don't realize that this type of approach does nothing more then turn people away and gives the main religion a bad name. Why can't people remember what they were taught as kids and that is to try and get along with everyone.
