Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul
Adamma Ebo's disappointing, well-acted, cliché-driven, unfunny, thought-provoking, satirical, 103-minute mockdocumentary in which the devoted, tenacious, hat-loving first lady (Regina Hall ) of a 25,000-member (Austin Crute, Crystal Alicia Garrett, Selah Kimbro Jones, Perris Drew, John Menchion, Jah Shams, et al.) Southern Baptist megachurch in Atlanta tries to help her charismatic, materialistic pastor husband (Sterling K. Brown), who flaunts an opulent lifestyle, reopen their Georgia church after thousands of parishioners left due to a sexual abuse scandal reminiscent of the downfall of PTL evangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker in the 1980s and then find themselves in direct competition with an ultimately backstabbing, Bible-thumping couple (Nicole Beharie and Conphidance) who are trying to entice money-giving parishioners to their Baptist church on Easter Sunday.
