And I found it quite hysterical. I’m so upset I avoided this film all these years. I found all the actors to be quick witted. I enjoyed it.
I refused to ever watch it cause I was raised in a very Christian household and it had been crammed into my head this movie is wrong and disgusting. It doesn’t even show Christians as bad people like I thought it would or make fun of Christians as much as say we should Be more loving and caring of those who are different from us. I respect that. It does show Christians to be a bit too judgmental, which is true with some.
PS Macaulay Culkin was super cute in this. Never noticed.

I loved it, and remembered that it had a bit of the Heathers/Mean Girls vibe without totally overdosing on either the mean or the pious - a funny, sweet film and a good balance.

Hey, Hilary Faye, I can see your pad.

Yes, it was a fun little movie. It had a gay plotline so I was quick to watch it back in the day.

And Mary Louise Parker played Jena Malone’s mom - and they actually look and gesture alike!

Eva Amurri's Cassandra sort of reminded me of Rachel Griffiths's Rhonda.

OP here, had no idea it had a gay subplot until I watched it. No one mentioned this to me lmao.
I thought it was hysterical she felt God was telling her to fuck her gay boyfriend so he won’t be gay anymore lmao. She really thought her puss would convert his gay ass. I loved the innocence behind it too.
And I died laughing when Jena Malone’s character starts to act differently cause she’s pregnant and everyone starts to worry about her so Hillary Faye and co. kidnap her to perform an exorcism lmfao

Eva Amurri must have some acting talent because she's such a basic bitch in real life. Cassandra would run her over. Even Hilary Faye would probably hate her guts.

You do realize they are using a script, right?

The whole cast was excellent. I think it may be better than Mean Girls.

I agree with all your points, OP. Great little movie and yes, Macauley has never looked better.

I definitely think it’s better than Mean Girls

R17, I saw the musical. It was not good, though Celia tried her hardest to put over the weak material. Mary Faber (whatever happened to her?) had one decent song in act two that was a dream sequence.
I remember there was a lot of buzz when premiered at PH with talks of a transfer, but as soon as everyone saw and the reviews came out, it died.

Yeah I tried watching the bootleg of the musical and 20 minutes in, I have up.....they had no hope of bettering what worked in the movie.
I just wish the film's ending wasn't so Happily Ever After. The tone of the rest of the movie seemed better than that. I really didn't buy the new gay boyfriend being welcomed into what was essentially a family photo with the newborn. Like hell even be around in a year....he's the young dad's first boyfriend, and they're both 17. Come on now.
Loved the moment where Jena stands in front of the statue of Jesus - or was it a cross? - and says "fuck", feeling totally betrayed.

It was one of the weird films Michael Stipe produced in the late 90s - early 00s. He sings on the closing track too.

It’s Stipe and Mandy at the end with God only Knows.
