Essentially, the film is one big excuse for a series of Saturday Night Live style skits.  Except that I’d usually give SNL skits 5 out of 10, on a scale of 1 to 10.  These skits are more like a 1, on a scale of 1 to 100.  Unless zero is an option, because truly, there are no words to describe how bad it really is. 

The film is blasphemous in the extreme.  (It even boasts about this on the DVD jacket.)  Jesus is portrayed as a lust-filled Mexican who beds woman after woman.  A young mother who attends church is mocked for her legalism.  Honoring our parents means having the mindset of a toddler.  And that’s just a sampling.

In addition to the nonexistent narrative and religious mockery, the R rating (“for pervasive strong crude sexual content including dialogue and nudity and foul language and some drug material”) tells you everything you need to know about the rest of this film’s content.  Frankly, it’s the most bizarre portrayal of sexuality I have ever seen.  Most of the scenarios—not to mention the mere thought of the mind that created them—are incredibly disturbing to watch, and thoroughly warped.

It’s not funny to watch one male prisoner raping another, much less talking about it as if it’s a love affair.  Neither am I amused by neighborhood husbands and fathers cavorting in the nude, singing about why they believe it’s appropriate to “celebrate the Sabbath” by having sex with one another.  It’s also not funny to watch a woman passionately kissing and having sex with a wooden dummy.  Again, just a sampling of the scenarios we’re subjected to.

Even if you can get past all the blasphemy and disturbing sexual themes that form the bedrock of these skits, there’s simply nothing here.  It doesn’t go anywhere at all, from a narrative standpoint, and it doesn’t convey any message—save that anyone who believes in the Ten Commandments is an idiot.

I honestly have no idea what director David Wain (who also directed Wet, Hot, American Summer) was thinking.  If there is anything redemptive at all about this film, it’s the fact that it only lasts 95 minutes.  And, that I had to drive to five video stores before finding it.
