Sam Atwell (Alex Russell) needs money to continue college. He is inspired by a Christian fund raiser as a way to scam money. He enlists the help of his three friends. They are seen by a professional fund raiser and are asked to join. They do so with the intent of skimming cash.
This is described as a Christian film, yet pokes fun at the many Evangelical techniques used to entice audiences out of their money. The real beliefs of our foursome are not really discussed or known outside of one being a church goer.
The theme of the film, which is beaten to death for us dumb audience, is that people want to believe they are doing good, so it is okay to lie to them. However, as explained by Callie (Johanna Braddy) there is really no need to lie as there is enough truth out there to do this.
I will say if this is indeed a Christian based film, the acting was better than usual. The plot and dialogue is a step up and the message is sound...I think, unless you believe Sam is just trying to live for another day going after bigger fish. The film is more like a left handed compliment to Christianity.
As far as entertaining goes, it is hit or miss. Some scenes worked better than others and after a while, the theme got old.
Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Preferred Christian film: "Moms Night Out"
