Gee I wonder where YOULL be spending eternity. I really feel sorry for you that you'd think the topic of these movies is nothing but fiction, because it isnt. *shakes head* Ever occur to you that Mandel might be a Christian?

Well, wherever "YOULL" be spending eternity (the place for ignorant illiterates), I thank God I won't be there.

I'm stunned that someone would actually swallow this garbage as gospel truth. Please tell me you do not have any children, or that "YOULL" never will.

Just because you sneer at the Truth, and those who believe, does not mean that it isn't true.

Thank you for a job well done, President Bush. You restored honor to the Oval Office.

Just because you make less than no sense doesn't mean you should post your pointless drivel on IMDb.

I believe in the truth. I believe in God. What I do not believe is the fear-based, hackneyed display of fanaticism that comprises this ridiculous film.

Then maybe you better study Scripture and see where they get this from.

It's important not to take the Bible completely literally. After all, Gary Busey doesn't feature in it.

You can find God if you search your heart. You just have to try.

You may sincerely believe that; but according to the Bible that is sincerely wrong. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings." (Jeremiah 17:9-10; emphasis added)

Christ Jesus be with you on your journey to Truth.

Jesus Christ is the Truth. When you have accepted Him the search has ended.

Regarding the original topic: Margot Kidder claims that she and Howie thought they were in a mystery movie, and didn't know they were in a Christian movie.

And Bush did a good job? Really?

I love how Christians will attack someone and threaten them with Hell for not liking a movie with Christian themes. Hey, here's an idea: Maybe we hate the movie, not because it's a Christian movie, but because it SUCKS! This movie was typical direct-to-DVD garbage, with crappy production values and a painful-to-watch D-list cast. The dialogue was utter SHlT as well: How could Howie Mandel uter the line "But EVERYBODY knows God is real!" with a straight face? On what planet does EVERYBODY know God is real? Look, just because it's about God, that doesn't mean it's automatically GOOD. Just look at The Pasion Of The Christ: Two and a half hours of people beating the crap out of a white guy with blue eyes that was suposed to be Jesus (crap, people, when will you get the message that Jesus was from the Midle East, and there WERE no white people in the Midle East at the time?!) They should have called that movie The Beating Of The Jew. Read your Bibles again, assho|es. At no point does that book claim that it's a sin to hate a stupid movie. It DOES say, however, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." How dare you threaten someone with eternal damnation for not liking a movie? Do you really think God cares how popular a frickin' GARY BUSEY movie is? Quit deluding yourselves. Besides, Margot Kidder? ATHEIST!

What I found most amusing about this piece of flotsam was a scene in which the baddies are chasing Gary Busey's character. They're searching his house, and one of them picks up his bible. He turns to his partner with an evil grin and says, "He's unarmed!" Yeah, and that's why there are so many fanatical Christian survivalist groups who take full advantage of their Second Amendment rights and arm themselves to the teeth--because all they need to keep themselves safe is God's Word!

Back in 1999, when Y2K hysteria was all the rage, a lot of Christians believed that the supposed Y2K technological singularity was going to signal the beginning of the Tribulation (just like all those other events that were supposed to signal the beginning of the Tribulation before and since, most recently May 21, 2011). Otherwise sensible people started stockpiling dried food, barrels of drinking water, cash, and for all I know, gold and weapons [see the previous paragraph]. I met one guy who believed that the Russian (formerly Soviet) and Chinese ballistic missile systems were not Y2K compliant, and so they were going to launch them at us before 2000, just to use them up before they became useless (maybe that's where Prince got the idea to party like it's 1999).

I heard one radio broadcast where they discussed the proper way for believers to behave during the coming bad times, and the announcer said something like, "Imagine the Tribulation is going on, and someone starts banging on your door begging for food. Do you put down your bible and shoot him?" To his credit, the answer was no.

I really think your tone is quite insulting--to tripe! :-)

According to the trivia page, neither Howie Mandel nor Margot Kidder knew what this nonsense film really was. But maybe that's why he shaved his head and hosts game shows now. It's his penance for acting in this--thing.
