The film’s congeniality, however, in no way dulls its humor or the sharpness of its observations.

Neither an inspirational faith-based film nor an attack on Christian dogma, Will Bakke’s comedy/drama Believe Me plays like a religious variation of "Risky Business" minus the sex.

Will Bakke’s Believe Me is a textbook lesson in how glossy cinematography and an appealing cast can compensate for an undercooked script.

If it’s not convincing as either a find-one’s-faith parable or clever spoof of pop Christianity, at least it’s relevant.

What is most egregious, and seems completely lost on the filmmakers, is that the film is the very thing it attempts to expose: a pandering cash-in on faith-based films disguising itself as an honest examination of belief. And that, true believers, is unforgivable.

This is a very funny movie if you pay attention. The critics that are down-playing this movie are saying that it is lacking a deeper meaning? I enjoy movies for being entertaining also. This director's other movies have the "deeper meaning". That doesn't mean this one has to. I found this to be an enjoyable 1 1/2 hours and I recommend it.

It's a funny movie but I'm not sure who would want to watch. It is a harsh rebuke of showy modern Christians and the mega-church mission mentality. The folk they insult are exactly the audience movie makers need to come see it. They’re responsible for almost all box office success in the realm of faith-based cinema. Non-Christians, who would find much to like in this “false profit-for-profit” tale, will likely avoid the film as just another “message movie.” I really had a good time watching. The performances are solid, the script has genuine LOLable moments and the overall message is refreshingly candid
