The film shows some of the complete hoax that is Christianity. Namely the fact that preachers, pastors, parsons, and so on are con artists who stand up and lie to their congregations every week. There is no "God", god is a character in the fictional book the Bible. So they talk nonsense about an imaginary characters plan for those in the audience. Stupid comes up and asks how does one know what gods plan is for them? Exactly the point, there is no god, there is therefore no plan from god. It's complete garage and it doesn't do anyone any good to believe in such nonsense. Of course the Christians are in complete self delusion and lap up this nonsense that is preached to them. It's just such garbage, it's fake, it's phony, it's the cause of self-righteous judgmental thinking that they are holier than thou. That they are somehow "saved" and must inflict their delusional thinking onto others that they may be saved. I wish I'd not bothered watching this movie as it's a bore, it's not funny, it goes the way of drama and artificial redemption. What it is is a drama film about some guys scamming a charity. Then they have a change of heart. What looks like it's pointing fun at the ridiculousness of this religion is actually a story about said guys having a change of ways. The implication is that the power of god while they were on tour is the cause of this change of heart. So as in my title, it's a Christian movie as it shows the power of god at work in the lives of these sinners. It's enough to make you puke but at least Christianity is being phased out in the NWO.

One criticism I have heard of this film is that it can't seem to make up its mind. Is it for or against Evangelicals? Do the ends really justify the means? What makes you a good person? What makes you a bad person?Pictures are painted on both sides of the religious fence of both good and evil, just like in real life. Rarely do we find a perfect Christian, or an evil nonbeliever, but rather we live in a reality where often nothing is clear. Therein lies the beauty of the film- that it is authentic. In a world that wants to paint itself black and white, this film lives in the grey and forces the viewer to decide for themselves what is noble in life. Presenting this question in a way that treats both sides fairly, or unfairly, depending on your leanings, is quite a feat. Furthermore, the fact that the film maintains a predominantly lighthearted tone with some truly zippy humor while presenting thoughtful conversation points results in a truly intriguing and enjoyable film.

This movie was very well written and directed. It doesn't tell you what to think, but leaves you thinking. The trailer may cause you to think it is anti-Christian, but it is not. Lecrae is in it (#1 Christian Hip Hop Artist). On the other hand, some people are calling it a Christian film, but it is not (no alter call or come to Jesus moment). Other reviews- NY Times -"a smart, sly comedy...about the power of platforms".Indiewire -"…Will Bakke has crafted a hilariously smart religious satire".Movieguide - "Christian satire done right".Beliefnet- "Believe Me hits the right notes".Be prepared to laugh out loud and have a good time.Best to watch with a clear head as there are tons of little jokes that you might need to watch more than once to catch them all!

I put "Christian film" in quotes because the filmmakers are Christians, but I guarantee it's not the type of movie you're probably thinking of (God's Not Dead, Heaven Is For Real, Kirk Cameron's stuff, etc). It is the first "Christian film" I've seen that wasn't preachy or trying to cram a message down my throat. Messages are there, sure, but they are for you to extrapolate and consider like any good film. Also, the film isn't reserved or afraid of poking at its home audience. In fact, I'd say a good portion of it is designed to intentionally provoke questions in Christians themselves where usually Christian movies are trying to get non-believers to "question" things. Lastly, it is most definitely the funniest Christian movie I've seen (Miles Fisher and Max Adler are superb) and probably the best in terms of the craft of filmmaking (something many others tend to put low on the priority list).I was just honestly taken aback by how much I enjoyed it. I typically loathe Christian films, having seen so many growing up, but this was like a breath of fresh air. If more Christian films were like this, perhaps they wouldn't be thought of as such a joke by most everyone else.
