This oddball story is more than a one-joke concept. Its characters are sometimes cruel, sometimes sweet, but always recognizably human.

Jensen is an accomplished screenwriter with a knack for developing people amid comic nonsense.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Rotten
The movie is all surface, loudly clamoring for attention and then losing its voice.
Sam Adams, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Some will see this as a movie about how we're all God's children. I saw only the misanthropic fulminations of Jensen's runaway ego.
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
Its screenplay attempts to blend outrageous black humor with biblical allegory in an ultimately unsuccessful fashion.
