Are You a Good Person? (2010) User Reviews

This is what it would be like if the Taliban were making cartoons

[t_atzmueller · 1/10 · 24 December 2014]

I admit, I watched this little cartoon expecting much glee and unintentional humour. It's only six minutes long, no more than a "Tom & Jerry"-clip and it's on YouTube so I didn't expect to loose anything.

Keep in mind, this is brought to you by Ray Comfort, the man who makes a living from trying to convince people that god designed the banana so that you can hold it more 'comfortably' (no pun intended) Let's not bother talking about the artistic quality (the animation makes "My Little Pony" seem like Disney's "Cinderella") and cut right to the chase: Meet "Mr. Nice Guy" (voiced by former child-star and now professional crank Kirk Cameron). He's so nice that he'd be the first in line, presumably after having died, to go to heaven. But he's got dark secrets: Mr. Nice Guy is also a liar, has stolen candy when he was a kid, physically looks at other women and has used the phrase "Oh my god!" in anger.

That's correct. He's a liar, a blasphemer, a thief and an adulterer. Mr. Nice Guy tries to talk himself out by claiming not to be as bad as other people (say, Hitler and the KKK), but the narration will have none of it. After all, we're not talking petty things, but not living "up to god's standards". And there will be no "god will forgive me" for Mr. Nice Guy either. Come Judgement Day, he'll eternally suffer torture that not even the most brilliant producers of splatter-movies would be able imagine. That's the bad news. The god news: subjecting himself to Jesus, obeying the bible and spreading his faith might save Mr. Nice Guy from eternal pain. That's only four of the six minutes; the rest is Kirk Cameron trying to haggle his merchandise (bibles and Comforts books about how Science got it all wrong because, you know, Science is blasphemy).

So why am I bothering to write a review for this tripe? Good question. Better question: Why is this even on IMDb? If this is featured here, why isn't every commercial ever produced, be it for Coca Cola, Budweiser or Snake-Oil-Medication featured? Why not recruiting videos from the middle-east, asking you to join the Taliban, ISIS or Al-Quaida? 0/10

It's a shame because I really like Kirk Cameron

I am a Christian so I can appreciate this kind of stuff. I like Kirk Cameron. He seems to be a stand up kind of guy. I like most of his Christian movies. They have a good message even if you don't believe. He goes against the flow in Hollywood and that takes a big set of balls.

HOWEVER; and this is a big however - this seems to be one big infomercial to peddle his stuff by scaring you.

Kirk, if you are reading this - I get your point. You want to convert people to Christianity. I get it but this is not the way to do it. Stick with your movies.

I believe Kirk dropped the ball on this one.

Get with the program Christianity

[bkoganbing · 2/10 · 29 December 2015]

I'll say this for Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort they do give you the most unvarnished John Hagee style view of Christianity out there with this little cartoon. It's essentially the same message that you can get on their Way Of The Master TV series.

Kirk voices Mr. Average Guy no better no worse than the majority of us who are slogging our way through life. But it seems as though God's made some impossible rules to follow. We learn that Mr. Average is a thief because he stole some candy as a little kid. Puts him right in there with someone like Willie Sutton who stole for a living. Or because he was checking out some curvaceous beauty he lusted in his heart and therefore committed adultery. Puts him right in there with porn stars. And we didn't even get to same sex kind of lust.

But if you acknowledge that you're a bum and accept that Jesus was the one and only perfect one and he died for you than you've got your ticket punched already to heaven. At least that's how I understand it. And no other religion whatsoever, no other kind of Christianity will do it for you.

This is why evangelical Christianity is in such disrepute today. What makes this any different than the Taliban and their view Islam? I remember when Cameron converted to Christianity during his first year on Growing Pains and the stories of the demands he made on his producers at ABC. I recall a story where one of them asked why he couldn't an ordinary teenage bubblegum pinup with some drug problems.

If you like the Get with the Program or else approach to Christianity than this is your kind of film. I fear it's not going to make too many converts.

An Awful Guilt Trip Propaganda .

[NickGagnon942 · 1/10 · 19 November 2019]

Living Waters, Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron brings us this awful little short that says everyone is a bad person. Its a guilt trip piece of propaganda to make people feel bad about being human and flawed. Ray uses his scummy con man like talk to advertise his religion and use guilt to inspire faith. Lame.

Kirk Cameron Is A National Treasure

[crowes-18865 · 10/10 · 26 February 2020]

I am so grateful to Kirk for keeping my image of myself in check and providing me with the knowledge that I will burn for all eternity. I am a terrible, terrible person. I once stole a Go-Bot from my older brother while watching a Beta Max adult film which I took from my dad without asking while wearing my sister's Sunday dress. Thank goodness Kirk was able to take a platform once used to bring joy to children every Saturday morning and repurpose it to putting us all in our place and reminding us how far we have fallen. Kirk will look down upon us all one day and smile because he is the only one not going to HE....double toothpicks, except maybe for the Buttercream Gang but I've always had a hunch that Kirk is a Buttercreamer. But in the meantime for those looking for a deity to worship..... look no further than Savior Kirk Cameron. He's pretty easy on the eyes as well. Darn it, there I go again.... filthy bird sinner I am! 12 hail Kirks and a good self flogging for me!!
