'Honk for Jesus' really needed 'Righteous Gemstones'-type marketing, making it clear that the film was skewering the hypocrisy of churches that peach 'prosperity gospel.' I'm seeing way too many instances of devout church folk walking into this expecting one thing and getting the exact opposite.
Coming in with zero expectations, I thought this film was a lot of fun. Regina Hall eats up every moment she was given and Sterling K. Brown did an excellent job portraying the menace, repression, and desperation hiding behind Pastor Childs' million-dollar smile and Prada suits.
I loved how the audience isn't spoon-fed the core details of Pastor Childs' scandal-we were left to piece the details behind the disintegration of Lee-Curtis' and Trinity's marriage as we witnessed their increasing moments of disconnect. Regina Hall playing women stuck in relationships with closet-cases could be a genre unto itself at this point and I'm here for it, lol.
