funny movie but faltered in the last act


the movie was really good up til he got blackmailed by boaz. then it went downhill completely. they should've written more gags into his hoax and developed his relationship with his assistant. her sweetness and devotion to him was very entertaining. those were the best parts of the movie. as an indie comedy, this was better than most comedies today so he deserves way more than a 5. i give it a 7, watchable and enjoyable.

The rating for this movie is so low. I was really surprised. I also would give it a 7 and I agree with you that the whole Boaz thing was really unnecessary and I feel took away from the movie's charm and storyline rather than adding to it. I was really enjoying the interactions between Don and Carol and also the husband and wife from the church but then it did seem lose focus as soon as they added the whole blackmail plot. I still enjoyed it but felt like it could have gone in a better direction if they just focused on Don and his path to have people believe and have faith whether it was the right way to go about it. I did enjoy the ending though where he meets Carol's son. It was kind of bittersweet.

Actually, it faltered in the first two thirds, and got better in the last third. By the end it was halfway interesting.
