Baxter's father is a best-selling Christian author who believes his son's immortal soul to be at risk, and even Baxter himself seems to wrestle with this belief as he attempts to work his personal problems out with God. Not even Baxter's lesbian roommate seems capable of helping him sort through his pressing problems with women, but then again she may be nothing more than another vivid figment of his overactive imagination. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
[This] film is not even remotely amusing or the least involving and is instead lifeless and relentlessly tedious.
-
Mark Keizer, Boxoffice Magazine
Mixing theology, philosophy and romance into lumpy, tasteless, low-cost gruel, Gottfred's story...hasn't the intellectual or cinematic resources to remotely tackle whatever the hell it's attempting.

Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly
ialogue ranges from exposition-heavy to cutesy, while the performances are little better.
