i.e. a subversive, man-bashing, female-imperative-catering, Churchian, evanjellyfish movie not worth seeing, albeit an ostensible comedy in this case, rather than a drama. (Hat tip: Dalrock)
I say ‘ostensible’, because I read a scathing review of it in a Canadian newspaper last weekend, which I can’t find online now except behind a paywall, but the secular, mainstream reviewer found it incredibly unfunny for a comedy. So hopefully it will bomb, though alas, that might not be so, if the masses of Blue-Pill, Churchian evanjellyfish get behind it, especially if promoted in their churches as no doubt will happen…

There is a reason I chiefly watch vintage movies:)

Shouldn’t it be called “Wives Night Out”? It’s even more subversive than I thought.
After all, most of them are married and they aren’t unwed mothers with illegitimate children getting welfare from state/federal government entities.

@ alcest: Telling, isn’t it, that it ISN’T “Wives’ Night Out”, I think. Churchian women who are married with children think of their children ahead of their husbands, who are at best an afterthought; thus, they’re moms first, and wives only a distant, eye-rolling, arms folded, “Fine! I’m a wife…” second.

I should have said so a couple days ago, but: Thanks for the link.

Hmm I might have to review this. I don’t know if you ever saw my Fireproof review Will. It’s one of my more profanity laden reviews as Fireproof seriously pissed me off.

Hey TB, no, I didn’t see your review of it. I saw that of others, and I’ve avoided it thus far, and will never see any movies put out by Sherwood Baptist Church; I refuse.

I reviewed all of the Sherwood movies except Facing the Giants. I don’t give a damn about football and I wouldn’t be likely to enjoy even a good football movie so I couldn’t be fair to it. Oddly enough the first one they made, Flywheel, which was made on a budget of $20K or so, is by far their best despite technical flaws. Much better from a character and story telling standpoint. Of course when I say “better” that’s a relative term. Catching herpes is better than catching AIDS, doesn’t make either one “good”.

I was in a Christian bookstore, and noticed that there’s a novelization of it:
So you can ignore that, too. 🙂
Coming soon: collectible action figures! Just kidding; I’d hate to think of churchian women drooling over the tattoo parlour / biker guy figures…

Oh look, there’s even a ‘devotional’:
Churchianity, Inc. never misses the opportunity to make a buck; maybe action-figures aren’t that far-fetched; I hope they don’t copy my idea; I want royalties if they do! 😉
