Faith Based | Movie Review
Brad reviews the new comedy Faith Based, a satire of modern day Christian Cinema.
Synopsis: When two friends realize all “faith based” films make buckets of cash, they set out on a mission to make one of their own.
Faith Based is Directed by Vincent Masciale and written by Luke Barnett. The film stars Barnett, Tanner Thomason, Jason Alexander, Lance Reddick, Richard Riehle and David Koechner.
So basically this is the Brad Jones movie Brad Jones never made but always wanted to, consolidating both skepticism over the industry of Christian Media and genuine appreciation for the value babies in the nonsense bathwater. Also, one of these days, you’re going to have to issue a motivational calendar so we can learn how you never stop never stopping.
Wow. Now we know what it feels like when the priest flicks Holy Water at you. Thank you so much, Brad!

I remember watching fireproof, but i don’t remember it being so much of a religious aspect, if anything i thought it was a romantic drama more than anything, with the whole steps to recover a marriage and family and all, but i don’t remember it showing much of a religious aspect.
Activate the subs, please.
I’ll rent the movie soon so thanks for the recommendation. I love a good cheesy Christian movie. I’m waiting for the Beckham review too. It’s a hilariously bad Christian movie.
Alex Winter gave this movie some support while also hyping Face the Music. I wasn’t interested before, but I might just check it out after all.
you know the Christian movie industry has failed when a satire of same has a better message
‘Faith based’ more like ‘Faith? Based.’
Man…you were so close to making this yourself
Alot of the same feels I got from BASEketBall, in a good way.
Does the fact that the main leads look like Kirk Cameron and his brother in Saving Christmas play any role in the movie? XD
Brad may not be a member in the Christian movie audience but, I do love his Christian movie reviews.
Hey Scotty! Jesus, man.
Hey Brad are you going to review "2 Hearts"? It looks terrible.
Knew Brad Jones would like this!
This kind of reminds me of “Be Kind. Rewind” where you think it’s going to be about two guys making fake movies because the tapes got erased and instead you get this heartwarming story about a neighborhood coming together to save their block from gentrification.
Jeebus, religion the world’s oldest con.
I honestly wonder if the people who made this, saw Jesus Bro.
Lisa Schwartz is in this movie? Lisbug in Hollywood now, that’s a thing I was unaware of…
The writer and co-lead actor grew up in a uber-religious upbringing. And they’re lucky to have known actors join in because of how unusual the premise is.
Lance Redick – Luke, I AM YOUR FATHER!
I’m a Christian who dislikes most Christian movies, so this could be my kind of movie.
1:16 Best example of someone digging up a 4 year old tweet of yours for a video 😀
if it’s anything even close to Jesus, Bro. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks again, Brad.
I’m glad someone else knows about Free Enterprise.
So in a sense, you could say that if Jesus Bro! is The Room, then Faith Based is The Disaster Artist.
Jesus Bro 2 the awakening
I get the feeling they watched your reviews.
south park did it first.
I was rather disappointed. I was really hoping this would be more like the Producers; in that the two leads have no sincerity in making their production.
Not to mention, the satire was completely surface-level. "Hey, religious movies make a lot of money and are of middling quality", and that’s as far as they go. Not the cheap attempts at pandering, not the obscene evangelical ego-stroking, not the perpetuating of the unwarranted "persecution" complex, not the demonizing of rival faiths/no-faith…
But will this movie be reviewed by the Dove Foundation?
0:53 So they are ripping off not one but 2 Cinema Snob films at once. You should sue them!
Had the stomach flu and felt crappy when I watched this movie. Did not find it was funny at all, but I don’t think my condition helped. I might try re-watching it again later.
This movie is also going to get zero doves.
South Park did this but for music.
"some of the better faith movies"? There are good faith movies?
