9/10
An interesting take on religion.

I was fairly unsure about watching this because religion used to be a big part of my life. But not five minutes into it, my worries were nullified and I couldn't stop laughing. The plot is wholly original and pretty gutsy, but Kevin Smith is a good director and did a wonderful job with it. The entire cast is perfect, with Alan Rickman being my personal favorite. The things brought up in the movie were really interesting and a lot of fun, and even the parts that should have offended me were clever. While it wasn't that "complete" in terms of explaining things, it was still definitely worth watching. I would even go so far as to call it the religious version of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Honestly, the only parts I didn't like were the Golgotha and the crappy CGI wings. (The CGI gets a pass because this was made in 1999, but I'd love to see it get remastered.)
