I waited a long time for this film. The premise was intriguing, the casting was excellent, and it had originality in spades. But I ended up shutting it off after the first hour.
I thought I'd get a unique spin on period peices but instead I got a lame trip through colonial Williamsburg. The people, setting, everything felt so modern that it rang hollow. No pun intended but this film that's not about Jesus felt soulless.
And the comedy ranges from subtle tongue-in-cheek jabs to outlandish looney tune nonsense. I was waiting for someone to run through a wall leaving behind a human shaped print. I just don't understand (at least in the first hour) what this film was trying to accomplish? Either way, it took too long to accomplish and I can only watch so many jokes about weed before I turn it off.
