    I love this film. It's stupid yes but its so funny!
  • September 9, 2007
    An amusing story, with the best of British TV comedians cast, about an English priest who becomes Pope following a case of mistaken identity.
  • February 23, 2008
    Let's face it; I have a liking for satire. I liked how the filmmakers make the Pope seem like a real person (the clerk showing all the amenities that come with the papal chambers).

    The sensitive Americans objected to the movie's title so appended a cross making it become "The Pope Must Diet". That's even more absurd than the movie!
