Technology is the real highlight of this movie

I'm not saying you are stupid, but most of these flaws sound like they were problems with your local theater. Or, maybe you didn't really see the movie at all and only heard about it (For my reason for saying this, see the last paragraph in this post)

(1) Poor lip synchronization? Not really possible, this was filmed live w/o voiceover. Poor lip synchronization would be the effect of a bad voiceover job or dubbing. No such methods were used, and none is visible in the film, as you ascertain.
Lighting, sound quality, most of the other flaws you mention -- again, sound like the problems were synchronization problems with the theater where you saw the movie. Although a major portion of the movie was at a hospital Emergency Room late at night, and in a car at night, there was nothing particularly dark about the lighting in the film.

The cop "Mac" McDonald's house was deliberately filmed dark and slightly hazy -- this was an attempt at filming the ambiance or atmosphere the family had degenerated to after seventeen years. Different lenses were obviously used to make the house seem smaller and more claustrophobic in those scenes, in addition to always seeming too dark and with an unsettling, subtle colorlessness. Whether or not this was effective I guess depends on how you interpret it or understand what they were trying to do.

(2) Not sure what you are confusing when you say there's a digitized deceased person (You say Saturday Night Live's Chris Farley? Who died in 1995? WEIRD!) in the film playing a "non-Christian family counselor". There is no such character in the movie.

Perhaps you didn't see the movie, really, and you got your information from someone who was pulling your leg, or you're confusing it with something else he was telling you about in the same conversation.

The only family counselor in this movie was a indeed a Christian, was obviously a woman, and was played by the wife of the pastor whose church produced this movie.

I guarantee you, this is an alive female family therapist, not a deceased male SNL actor (Chris Farley) you have warm memories of that was somehow spliced into the movie.

Not a bad troll, I think if this movie didn't suck so bad, you'd have gotten a lot more bites :D Included enough straight talk to make it believable, then you hit the button. Overall, good effort, would read again
