  • If you want to fall asleep this is thr movie for you. Even being from 1986 you get the feeling a group of high school children with a camcorder could have written and produced a better short (and many have).

    I don't think that the writer has ever actually met anyone iutside of his echo chamber. The projections of his own inadequacies is reflected in the characters presented.

    1930s German propaganda films are only slightly less blunt than this short.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    This movie is your typical run-of-the-mill self-serving, holier than thou, Christian propaganda, shovel ware.

    It is very clear that almost nobody, save for MAYBE the main character, was paid to make this, and was instead promised indulgences or a guarantee to heaven or some other scam so that the director/out-of-touch youth pastor can shill out this movie to unsuspecting Sunday school services.

    I found myself relating to the main character quite a lot, not because I am a "sinful unsaved member of the masses" but because I found that the actor did an unironically amazing job at playing someone who was completely fed up with Christians preaching at him every chance they get.

    The director very clearly has no idea how movie-making works, and it will provide you and your "unsaved" friends 22 minutes of hilarity as you try to find every writing, lighting, directing, or acting error in this short. My personal favorites are,

    1. The man whose entire job is selling fish sandwiches out of a not-up-to-code cooler out of the back of his truck in the middle of nowhere in summer in Hill Country Texas

    2. The portrayal of Christians as MINORITIES in TEXAS.

    3. The Roman soldiers who are on their way to kill Jesus stop the main character and are somehow, not only not alarmed by this giant piece of metal that is making a roaring noise he is sitting in, but also know how it works and know that they can take the key out of it to stop it.

    There are plenty more errors but I think it's more fun if you watch for yourself and find them.

    The only thing I will say that the movie does well is the score, The Composer (who is also the director, and writer) actually did a pretty good job on the score, and I could absolutely see it used in a great 80's B movie. The chase scene where the three stooges of the Roman Empire are chasing the main character actually has a decent feel of suspense thanks to the score. The director should've explored composing rather than directing, considering he's actually pretty good at one of them.
  • There are so many movies out there - it is hard to find a movie worth watching. So many movies are rated G - and it is not too nice what we hear or what is insinuated or slyly suggested, which definitely ends the movie. Everyone knows that Rated G is child safe - supposedly. G for Guidance was mainly set forth for children's protection - don't send your child into a theater by themselves. All Christiano films are definitely safe for your whole family. Even though this movie is a comedy - it teaches those who are watching many lessons. I would watch this movie again and again. My kids loved it too. Christiano films are great and I pray they continue to make more. We watched this movie with our youth group. There were some true to life elements in this film that just made you laugh. Whether you are 6 or 60 you will enjoy this film. Enjoy watching it!!
