5.0 out of 5 stars Get Ready for a Whole New CHRIST, March 31, 2004

By	Ellen Happ "ellenhapp" (Doylestown, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This movie is amazing. I saw it at the Philidelphia Video Festival last year. Jesus comes back to fight sin in the twenty-first century and encounters a world much different then the way he left it 2000 years ago. Watch him fight the greatest sinners of all time: Richard Nixon, Adolf Hitler, Vlad the Impaler and Jim Morrison.

1.0 out of 5 stars Toothless "satire", June 22, 2004

By	Cory Heitman "cheitman23" (Vermillion, SD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A "Jesus" with a whiny Brooklyn accent arrives nude in New York City (a'la "The Terminator") and has trouble getting his message to today's youth. So he puts on a spandex superhero costume and fights Jim Morrison, Dracula, Hitler and a guy in a Richard Nixon rubber mask. Then he changes the commandments to encourage casual sex to gain converts.

Let me state that I am far from religious and love a good satire, like "Election" or "American Psycho". This is too dumb and scatological to be satire. The video and audio (especially) are sub-porno quality. If you ARE deeply religious you may be offended, otherwise you will be very bored. Check out "The Life of Brian" for a religious satire with bite.

4.0 out of 5 stars Originality , how refreshing!, April 20, 2006

By	Jazz Baby (USA) - See all my reviews

A lot of laughs!
When I came upon this little film (and it is little- your eye must adjust to the results of a low budget, but eventually that aesthetic only adds to its charm) I was delighted by its humor and innocence. Essentially it is a film about a nice Jewish boy in spandex who is trying to make the world better, and about the various (and oddly random) archenemies who attempt to thwart him. Particularly winning are the sparkly Jordan Hoffman as Archangel Ira and Dara Schindler as a reporter on Jesus' trail. Jonathon Green is oddly compelling in his cluelessness; one wonders at times if that was intentional or a lucky accident. Whichever, his affect is disarming and adorable, and serves the film well.
Mostly, I enjoyed its originality. I am the sort who is allergic to cliches, even the whiff of one sets me off on a diatribe. What a delight to find a movie that is genuinely quirky and tells a story that hasn't been told. Further, having stumbled on something new, the filmmakers do not attempt "hipness," which results in a farce free of camp. The film does not knowingly, cynically make fun of itself or its style, it bravely tells its story in a straightforward manner, which makes it hilarious, as it is not a story that anyone can take seriously. Its unstudied style is refreshing.
The film does suffer from a few juvenile misfirings (no pun intended.)But its only real handicap is its budget, which at times masks the quality of the screenwriting and performances. All in all, viewing this film is time well-spent. I highly recommend!
