Lou Hanske has just been fired. Not only that, but he's also totaled his car, been attacked by a bear, and been dumped by his beautiful girlfriend Rachel (Laura Prepon) as well. To say that Lou is having a bad day would be an understatement of epic proportions, yet just when it seems that his life has hit rock bottom he's hit with a truly bizarre revelation: a small church has just named Lou "The Chosen One," and now in order to fulfill his prophecy as savior of mankind he must travel to Kansas and usher in a new age of peace and prosperity. Of course that's quite an undertaking for one man to take on all by himself, so in order to succeed in his mission Lou recruits his curmudgeonly roommate Zeb (Chris Sarandon), his smoking hot co-worker Donna (Danielle Fishel), and the Dark Lord himself, Satan (Tim Curry). Along the way, the foursome does battle with ninjas, religious fanatics, kung-fu robots, femme fatales, and giant monsters that could eat them whole. With a little luck and some serious cool superpowers, Lou might prove capable of saving the world and getting the girl of his dreams. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Despite all evidence to the contrary, The Chosen One is not interesting.
