Christ no great fan of sloppy seconds. Just ask Mary Magdalene.
Did anyone actually watch the first one?
Here are some highlights for those who haven't:
A Muslim father finds that his daughter is listening to christian rock and reading the bible and beats her and kicks her out of the house. It coalesces with the atheist teacher being hit by a car and dying, but not before being saved through a last minute conversion by a youth group minister. The kids all convene at the local christian rock concert and have a blast.

Yup
And John Tucker Must Die!
For some reason that's just the perfect level of insanity to make me laugh.
I mean, he's the one that they'll see for eternity in Heaven; might as well get used to his face
Hyped, the first one was so good. Easily some of the strongest writing in years, with many powerful moments. Sprinkled with keen insights and deep, thoughtful commentary, like from that country and western singer in the beginning. Or Nascar driver. Wrestler? I can't recall but Hercules was the bomb.

Hell no. Lionel Mandrake suffered for us, and retold the movie in epic fashion.
No no no. God is good. And perfect. And sin is all part of his good perfect plan. It'll make sense but you have to think about it long enough to realize you shouldn't think about it.

Don't forget the Christian hero of the movie "wins" with a circular argument despite accusing Hercules of the same in an earlier debate, and also by dredging up painful personal memories.
I was a lurker at the time, but watched the movie because of Lionel Mandrake's review, so anxiously awaiting his followup.

A Catholic film critic put it tersely on Twitter:
"Worse than the first one."
"Worse than the first one."

1. I can just imagine him talking with his pastor and accepting Christ while in the middle of having sex.
2. God's Not Dead/Drag Me To Hell crossover

My favorite still is "atheist being ran over by steamroller".
What exactly is the neck brace helping in this situation? Had he already been in a slip and fall accident?
There's more?? Is there a master post for these??

Oh I did. Got it from Netflix, picked up some beer and watched it with two friends. Movie was nuts. I'm sure we'll do the same for this one in a few months. Not a chance I'd pay real money in a direct way to sit through this nonsense however.
Although I did get stuck seeing Bella in theaters several years ago on a date. I probably would have protested if I knew it had such blatant Christian content. Single woman is unexpectedly pregnant, and seriously considering an abortion. The chef at the restaurant she works at, and happens to look exactly like a Latino Jesus, is secretly atoning for at one point being a soccer star and running over a kid while driving distracted. They barely know each other beyond first name basis, but over a two day period he gets to know her a bit and commits to raising her future child by himself for like five years until she gets her life together and is ready to enter the kid's life and become a parent. That's exactly what proceeds to happen.
That was some wacky out-of-touch pro-life stuff.

Oh god, I forgot this movie was coming out this week. I had to listen to that shitty Christian rock music that plays over the credits for weeks on end. And if you want to watch horrifically offensive Christian movies, you should watch Old Fashioned. I only saw a few scenes when I was doing theater checks but man did it look bad. You should watch The Cinema Snob's review of it.
I would, but I made a promise to stay chaste until the Mandrake review.

Releasing this on April Fool's Day is almost as edgy as
killing/reviving Superman on easter weekend

Demod Lionel if he doesn't give us a review for this one day. His first one was too legendary not to follow up

When the admins lost their minds, obviously.

Do a double feature of War Room and God is Not Dead 2. Give us two reviews in a weekend.
Cmon, War Room is from the genius filmmakers behind Fireproof and Courageous!

Haven't watched it yet. We'll see.
Goddammit, I hate Sherwood Pictures. The absolute worst. It's clearly just a Georgia church that got too much money and nobody ever told them, "Hey, you're not a fucking movie studio."
So you're gonna watch it, then?

Lionel, my good friend. Please. Don't do it. We love your summaries, but no man should have to suffer through TWO OF THESE FILMS.
Lionel pls

If he has neck damage he might lose the use of his legs if they're not careful.
I'm sure she'll be able to explain it all.

I have to agree.
Watching the Cinema Snob review made me want to take a bath in battery acid.
I feel like watching the second one willingly might actually kill him.
