With just 12% on Rotten Tomatoes, almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who need a good giggle and people who like their stories at full throttle. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. Built to entertain rather than impress the critics, and audiences love it for that.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Lean, with little time wasted, at 1 hr 36 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
- Critics were cooler on it than audiences.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Durell and LeeJohn are best friends and bumbling petty criminals. When told they have one week to pay a $17,000 debt or Durell will lose his son, they come up with a desperate scheme to rob their neighborhood church. Instead, they end up spending the night in the presence of the Lord and are forced to deal with much more than they bargained for.
