4 out of 5 stars Some witty fun at the Vatican's expense   August 21, 2006
Czinczar (Southeast Michigan, USA)
Here's a fun little sleeper. A sly black comedy for those who aren't too impressed with Catholicism. I'm pretty darn impressed with the screenwriting and the excellent timing of the director. The movie is so well cast that instead praising the great performances of the actors, I should simply praise the casting director.

Its satirical jabs at the Vatican are goofy without being too much so or too heavy handed. The movie examines the old predictable theme of how the nice innocent original concept of Christianity has fallen prey to so much corruption through the centuries by Catholicism. But this tired old theme still succeeds in the capable hands of Richardson and his production crew.

This forgotten movie that never made it to DVD can still give you plenty of knowing snickers and chuckles. At the price it's being sold here at Amazon, it's well worth it. If you ever stumble upon it when browsing at your local video store, don't pass it up!
