I've been meaning to watch this movie for years, because I knew "Pastor Shepherd" growing up. Spoiler alert: his name isn't really Pastor Shepherd, or even Mr. Shepherd. I finally found the time recently after I stumbled upon the full-length version on YouTube.
Oh my gods this film is awful. I'm perplexed by the number of 10 star reviews. Those must have been left by "Shepherd's" friends and family because there is no way an objective person could watch it and conclude that it's anything other than lousy. Unless perhaps they have horrible taste in entertainment, which wouldn't be a surprise at all given that the kind of people who made "Honey Boo-Boo" and "Duck Dynasty" hit shows helped put an incompetent con-man in the White House. But I digress.
The "plot" consists of Mr. Shepherd grinning maniacally through a series of disconnected scenes on his way to becoming a televangelist. The acting (except for Trejo & Laas) is generally high school second-string JV drama club level. The humor is lame. Every punch line fell flat, I never once cracked a smile. I feel worse off for having seen this movie.
