I was a little dissappointed in this movie for two reasons:1. It didn't seem to know what kind of movie it wanted to be: slapstick? sitcom? inspirational? It would flip back and forth never quite finding its niche.2. Either the writing or the editing really dropped the ball. There are SO many transistions simply MISSING. Coogan's character WANTS to be inspirational, yet does NOTHING that is inspirational, and the students are still....well....inspired. You never see the moment the "misfit" kids buy into Coogan's world...they just do. One character goes from being irrationally afraid of the latinos to talking street and shocking them....with NO transistion. Is it funny? Quite a bit. Is it a geat movie? Not even close. Did I want my money back? Nah, but I only paid 6 bucks....but I wouldn't spend more money on it.

NinevahProject, yes you are right, Hollywood and most everyone else is afraid to insult Islam in any way due to the threat of violence by Muslims. And there are movies, books etc, that may poke fun at Christianity, but you know what? That is a good thing! If you or me or whoever wish to keep our western culture alive it is important to keep our sense of humor, and also to not become our enemy! Western culture included freedom of speech, and altering that basic right in favor of any particular group or philosophy will be one step closer to us becoming "them". Don't go see Hamlet 2 if it offends you, but don't stifle free speech or free thought because of that. America has a long tradition of satire, and that includes making fun of ourselves, we lose that we lose who we are. We become the enemy.

I can't believe that I paid $10 to see this movie.. I nearly walked out, but didn't because my other half was with me and wanted to see how this train wreck ended. Yes, there were funny bits, but in the end I was wondering who to write to in order to get my 2 hours back. Don't bother, it wasn't worth looking up the showtime to go see.

This movie was hilarious from beginning to end! It does not make fun of Christianty. The focus is on Coogan's pathetic life and rediculous character which will have you rolling with laughter. I could not say enough good things about the film and would highly recommend it!

Ehh, I really liked the actual musical bits, but leading up to the performace on the musical, I found myself rather bored. I think I would have liked this better if I'd been drunk.

This movie is actually one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. my friend & i were actually worried at times that we were going to wet our pants. I don't know WHO would think it wasn't hysterical, but I absolutely loved this movie. Can't wait for the dvd.

lol i can see how it would be quite entertaining drunk, but it was pretty funny sober, as well. the offensive bits are pretty hilarious, as long as you keep an open mind about it. funny stuff.

Silly and irreverent at times, yes...but it was funny. I wasn't the only one laughing out loud in the theatre, either. I really enjoyed it.

WOW, another Hollywood movie making fun of Jesus, what an original idea! If Christians were like Muslims, there would be riots all over the world and death threats to every actor in the movie. Instead, this movie will just bomb at the box office because Hollywood is so out of touch with the mainstream American population. How about making a comedy and making fun of Mohammed instead? Wouldn't that be funny to see a parody of the prophet of the religion of peace up there dancing around and making a fool of himself on stage. Hollywood won't do it because they say they don't want to offend Muslims, but in truth, they are scared of them and are intolerant of Christianity. You know I am right.
