88% audience score on rotten tomatoes and 6.3 on IMDb. people like this movie. I have no idea why, but they do.

[@dracocrusher]

People want to think "Oh, this is just a wholesome movie about a family solving their problems following a good christian family" or whatever in an age where for some reason christians think they're being persecuted and any religious movie at all is better than it really is because it stands against society or whatever.... But let's not kid ourselves. This movie is crap. Anyone who thinks about this for more than a second can see how dumb this is. So just...... Anyone reading this, don't lock yourself in a fucking closet. God doesn't care if you have a room dedicated to prayer or not, that's just fucking dumb. Actually try and work out your problems and put in some effort to meet God halfway. Don't be the idiot who just uses prayer to run away from your problems....... Just... just don't.........

[@Egalitariat-likesecretariat]

There are a lot of old phrases my family uses. "God helps those who help themselves" is one of the better ones, and one of the ones I live by (even though I don't believe in God) because sitting alone and keeping your head down to talk to someone who won't say anything back doesn't usually help.

[@stewieismyhomeboy]

The Bible says so itself: If you have marital problems, prayer is not bad, but you should also do something about it, like talk to your spouse about your problems, go to marriage counseling, something.

[@lil_dak_1587]

A car drives by a man's house and he is told that there is a flood coming towards the town. The man says "God will save me." As the water level rises, a boat comes by the man's house. The people say "get in the boat, we're here to save you." The man says "God will save me." The water reaches the man's roof and a helicopter flies over. The pilot says "Get in, we're here to save you." Again, the man says "God will save me." The man is in heaven and ask God "God, why didn't you save me?" God says "I tried to. I sent the car, I sent the boat, and I sent the helicopter." The crazies that made this movie want people to become that man.

[@sydnirobinson3125]

My mother used to be a part of a really weird Christian Cult that told women that they needed to submit to their husbands because men should e the ones in charge. I was eleven when she converted and only went to church with her a couple of times (because I had to go) and when the old people would ask me what I thought about the sermons (these were audio tapes that were recorded in Oklahoma and sent to the people in the church around the world) I would reply saying that they were sexist, racist, and had no founding in any kind of reason. Eventually I was told I was no longer allowed to go.

[@harrietamidala1691]

+Sydni Robinson And that was probably the best day of your life. Though does your mom still follow that "church" or has she left? It's not clear.

[@sydnirobinson3125]

she ended up actually getting kicked out two years ago. My mother moved back to her hometown and because the church is so small the closet one for her to go to was 5+ hours away. An Aunt of hers that was also in the church reported her after seeing her facebook posts about partying on the Sabbath and not attending religious services. Her sister got kicked out too for not attending services as well and ended up having her husband (who had grown up in the church from the time it was started) to be kicked out too. And with the way things work if you had been kicked out and already baptized then anyone still in the church isn't allowed to communicate with you. It's absolutely insane and a total cult.

[@SirWafflington]

+Sydni Robinson To be fair, you look like the kind of person that calls everything sexist and racist. But by what you've said, I think the cult you're referring to are known as Jehova's Witnesses.

[@sydnirobinson3125]

Wafflicious Studios no they were the first Philadelphians or something like that. They're a lot like Jehovah's Witnesses only they don't go door to door.

[@KevinThePilgrim]

[@docdave15]

With Christian movies it makes me think of this quote I'm about to share: "So what resolution should we make for the new year? It's to let God know that you have the guts and the will to do it alone. Resolve to fight for yourselves, and for others, for those you love. And that part of God within you will be fighting with you all the way." - Rev. Frank Scott (Gene Hackman) from The Poseidon Adventure.

[@thatoljordan]

As a Christian, I say that if you have an abusive partner, get the hell away from them what ever it costs. Movies like this piss me off, both as a person, and as a Christian. It's amazing how some people can make a movie about religion that completely get the message backwards.

[@coffeefrog]

Your religious movie reviews always give me a good laugh. Nice new lighting! Keep the red!

[@ChrisKola]

As a Protestant in the proper sense, the fact that fellow believers can watch this and then say that it's well made or good is somewhat aggravating. To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, as Christians, (or any sort of belief system, really), we are not to make Christian art, but instead art that is Christian. What that means is that we are not supposed to be producing something like this purely for the sake of it being evangelical, but for it to reflect our beliefs and life in an intelligent manner. Going back to Lewis, his Narnia books are an excellent example of creating art that reflects truths while still being enjoyable for people who don't believe as well. Tolkien is another excellent example, particularly because his work wasn't allegorical, yet it contained many values held by Christianity. I'll end this with a quote from Francis Schaeffer; " Christian art is the expression of the whole life of the whole person as a Christian. What a Christian portrays in his art is the totality of life. Art is not to be solely a vehicle for some sort of self-conscious evangelism." I would call my fellow believers to evaluate our art and not let it be inferior to other art. If we feel we've been drawn into great purpose, the art we create should reflect that. The exploitation film reviewer's post was probably the wrong place to post this, but it needs to be said. : P

[@morganyoung3557]

Funny thing was that I recently saw an episode of South Park that got what it means to be a Christian better than any of these Christian propaganda movies ever could. It was the episode that reveals that the priest of South Park could have a chance to movie to a church in a better town and had a larger congregation, but decides not to because he is afraid that the Vatican would replace him with a child molester. That act of personal sacrifice where he puts the safety of the children of the town above his own desires is way more Christian than a movie like War Room. These so called Christian movie makers should be ashamed that South Park gets what it means to be a Christian better than they do.

[@taylorholmstrom248]

Hey lady, here's an idea: instead of screaming in a closet, TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND. Be civil about it, but tell him what he's doing wrong and why it's hurting you. Tell him that you want to save your marriage, but you both have to work towards that goal. If he keeps yelling at you and/or breaking the law, then he's a total asshole and you need to file for divorce. I may not be a Christian, but I'm pretty sure God isn't a genie. He helps those who help themselves, not those who scream loud enough. Honestly, no movie has angered me on the same level as this one. If a person is being abused, it's not their job to "fix" their abuser. They have absolutely no obligation to forgive the person abusing them. Maybe I just feel so much anger because my mother was in an abusive marriage, and had she followed this movie's advice, I don't even want to know what would've become of her. After she got a divorce, the piece of shit she was married to got re-married and went on to physically abuse that woman and their kids. Some people don't change, no matter what you do or how hard you pray. But what hurts me the most about this movie is that in 2018, we're STILL telling women to submit. If I ever get married, I don't want a wife who will submit. I want to be her equal, and her to be mine. If one of us is mad at the other, we don't curse the Devil and pray for God to intervene; we talk things out. THAT is what a healthy marriage is. If your spouse is a verbally abusive criminal who only refrained from cheating on you because of literal Deus Ex Machina, your marriage is not healthy. If God truly loves you, he would want you to do what's best for yourself.

[@thefirstbourne149]

Oh hell, no, there are grounds to divorce in the Bible!! Don't let anyone tell you different! It was said that it's at least allowed if he or she cheated, or not to even associate with these kinds of people who are sexually immoral, greedy, or if they're (also sometimes referring to them as non-Christian people, but...). It could mean anyone who could even be abusive. The sexually immoral part doesn't have to be just the person who allows consent because one, that's an old law, and two, it's literally consent! Nobody got hurt!! I don't want to go into it too much, but there are grounds for it that these movies act like doesn't exist.

Those who keep saying that movies such as "American Sniper" and "Act of Valor" are propaganda films, clearly haven't seen "War Room" and the "God's Not Dead" movies.

[@dracocrusher]

Social culture dictates that it can't be propaganda if it's supporting christians. It can look like a propaganda film, basically be a propaganda film, promote violence, try to start a call to arms, and spread whatever horrible message it wants.... BUT as long as it's a christian film, it's just sort-of OK for some reason because fuck actual logic. But the INSTANT you center it around the military or anything even remotely middle eastern, everyone will be right up your ass with claims about propaganda and how it's supporting Hitler or whatever stupid thing they want to talk about. Especially if it's anything remotely popular.

[@maxsrebro6072]

Also... 35:48 - 36:18 You, Dave sir, just nailed down why most people, even many of us Christians, hate these movies. These movies are just sermon illustrations, not real works of art. They're made to preach (even more blatant when movies like War Room or Courageous have actual sermons/challenges at the end), not to entertain, in an entertainment medium. These film makers think that because they have a message to preach, they can disregard such concepts as subtlety, form, creativity, or appeal. Which is sad, since we're supposed to be better than this... urgh...

[@Geospasmic]

I kind of agree with Sarah's interpretation that, in the alternate universe of this movie, the wife takes the moral high road by conforming to the beliefs of the movie's intended audience. Everybody just agrees that the godly wife should submit and the godly husband should lead. The husband is going against the rules of the universe by being an ungodly man, and so the audience will see him as in the wrong and in need of correction. The movie's ideals are misogynistic of course, but the way it expresses them is very patronizing of men, if that makes any sense. By putting the onus on the wife to make things better, the movie takes control away from the husband, with the assumption he doesn't know any better and can't be expected to act decently without action by his wife and God. It's just another version of the old mentality about men being beastly and instinct-driven, and religion being the only cause that can make them care about right and wrong. I think Sarah's right, this movie, in its own weird way, thinks a lot more highly of women than it does of men.

[@zachmanf.7479]

So either men are beasts that cannot control themselves without religion, or women should submit to the men they are married to, regardless of how abusive he is, and attempt to fix him?

[@mastermarkus5307]

I went to a summer camp run by Baptists when I was a teen (don't worry, it's not crazy religious parents" thing. I had friends who said it was run) and one of the counselors there said she cared more about God than her husband. I'm just thinking "I'm pretty sure God can take care of himself, lady". She also said she'd rather have us say something like "fuck" or "shit" than use "God" as an expletive. I was already really used to saying things like "oh my god" so I definitely accidentally irritated her that way, though it didn't bother me, since I'd already determined that she was one of those _crazy_ religious types, and had no intention of really _respecting_ her.

[@Azreal231916]

I think Dave died a little with Pray It Forward

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

16:14 - 17:02 This is one of my major problems with these films, and one of my struggles with Christianity. The whole "The only help you'll ever need is prayer and Bible reading" idea... No, no it's not. That isn't all the help we need. Sometimes, that's not the help we need at all... As to the comparisons with Fireproof... Eh, some ways Fireproof was better, some ways it was worse... not sure calling the two identical is entirely fair, though...

[@dracocrusher]

A lot of so-called "christians" seem to forget the whole "You need to meet God halfway" thing. Which is KIND-OF a pretty important detail to leave out because it means you actually have to do shit for God to be able to ACTUALLY help you with your problems!

[@dracocrusher]

***** Not with the religion, but I have a problem with people telling others that God hates them unless they follow some form of unhealthy guideline or just happen to be born a certain way or if someone's just born with a different sexual orientation than is normal. Believe whatever you want, but the moment your belief forces women to stay with a toxic relationship out of fear of god and causes actual psychological problems, THEN it becomes a problem.

[@stevenkramer6217]

Christian here, and I don’t know my Bible as well as I probably should, that said, I’m pretty sure infidelity is the only valid reason for divorce. And he was cheating on her. So I think even scriptural my a divorce is justified here. Correct me if I’m wrong.

[@SpinosaurusTheProudSocialist]

You're right, Christ said divorce for sexual immorality is valid.

[@danielyoung6778]

surely the devil has better things to do like start another war or make another Tyler Perry movie , Jesus even a winters tale Will Smith was more proactive

[@a.jlewissonicski5278]

43:49 Wait the director himself makes a cameo in the movie?

[@JimmyJohn89808]

Yeah, he plays Tony's boss, Coleman. It's in his Cinema Snob review of it and it's glorious.😁

[@thelaughingfoxx]

Pray it forward! Lmfao! Great review guys. I agreed on the points you made and it was great comedy too. 😂

[@whatiftherewasanun]

Tell me, does your marriage bleed?

[@apeterson9774]

Pay It Forward was such a good movie

[@riff5fki]

I really want them to videotape Sarah watching War Room

[@magau3698]

This movie is dangerous. Sends the wrong message. In every aspect. I believe in God. But I refuse to believe what people like my grandma believe. God condemns violence and unfaithfulness. The Bible states once abuse happens the covenant is broken so this movie is absolutely ridiculous and disgusting

[@UndeadHavoc1]

Is it weird that this movie sounds like my mother?

[@J-Wolf17FTW]

My family is actually planning on doing the stupid war room thing, and I'm starting to get concerned for my family's well being. Please help!

[@SanchoSanchoSancho]

39:24 Awesome Kurt Vonnegut tattoo.

[@dragonflyfab8982]

Two guys parked on a dark secluded street in agreement.

[@Themanwithn0eyes]

15:22 - ...And from Stormy Daniels' book.

[@Ostsol]

Can't wait for the "90 Minutes in Heaven" review. :)

[@visionaryventures12]

Tell 25 of your friends NOT to see this movie.

[@jimbeam6303]

18:44 Divine Indigestion?

[@randalgraves6979]

So this is the movie sound clips that was used in the Dream Child review. 😐

[@lindaeasley4336]

Moral of the story : shout at the devil because it's his fault you have a prick for a husband

[@rawrvintageisclassic]

Now I got Motley Cure’s Shout at the Devil stuck in my head. I think listening to that would be more of a healthy lifestyle than watching this… propaganda film.

[@doranstewartstewart6521]

Hahahahaha I was high when I watched this. I felt like I was in a prison in my own head.

[@fortblocks]

Was this a Pureflix movie? Just curious.

[@TheAirBear2000]

Surprisingly, no.

[@fortblocks]

Oh.

[@frogmad13]

Will Jake ever be coming back to midnight screening?

[@maxmiddleshirtz]

If Brad and Jake become friends again.

[@KevinThePilgrim]

+Max Middleshirtz Jesus will come back a second time before that happens, lol.

[@hazyhillsblue]

I bet Brad's look forward to seeing Scorsese's Silence when it comes out.

[@swootymedia6398]

Sane Christians... I know you're out there. Let me ask you something: Could you guys start making GOOD movies again? 'cause I know it's possible; Prince of Egypt -for example- was great, and I don't even believe in any of that stuff!

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

+Kevin Lefebvre The problem with that the only ones of us with the resources to make a mainstream movie are the ones who are insane. I too wish we could start making good movies again...

[@iKadaj]

"brian couldn't come to see war room because he suddenly got food poisoning."

[@heelstevenmaggle5615]

17:48 Dave's most angry moment!!!

[@GypsyCat1]

KZbin gave me a PureFlix.com commercial before this review

[@randallscott4581]

You know the Sausage Party review was the first one that I've seen where Dave enjoyed the movie.

[@Rawk4Life]

Is there a reason why your movie reviews are half the length of the movies themselves?

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

+Rawk4Life Because they're vlog videos of us just shootin the shit about the movie. They're meant to be longer. If you want a shorter review on the movie, there's plenty to choose from elsewhere.

[@Rikku147]

+Stoned Gremlin Productions And they're awesome because of that. I love these vlogs

[@KevinThePilgrim]

+Stoned Gremlin Productions I love that expression: "shooting the shit". Gotta start to use it in my everyday life.

[@kellyhack867]

*Sarcastically* Dammit I knew it was my fault, now how can I submit to anyone now.

[@thescaredshadow]

August has been the worst month for movies this year.
