- Quotes
Benjamin: Humans... God's only mistake.
Clarence: Lord forgive them. For they know not what they do.
Benjamin: Oh please. I've got a prayer for you. Dear Heavenly Father, please kill all these people. Fire and brimstone will suffice. But if possible, give them lava. Especially that prick painting me!
Clarence: We are all just men and women. Most of us have no idea what we're doing. By the time we figure it out, it's too late.
Benjamin: I have spent my entire life witnessing the cruelty of man. Those who had plenty did not even spare me one drop of water. I have literally had the clothes lifted from off my back.
Clarence: I have been one of those men. And for that, I am truly, truly sorry. I've been a victim of my own ignorance. That's just it. We need enlightenment. Not punishment.
Benjamin: Well, good luck with that.

As for the movie overall, it's not actively bad in any way. A lot of it just feels off. The story is a bit clunky. Some of the jokes land while others don't. I'm not really attached to any characters other than the lead.
I just wasn't into it. I wasn't engaged and I had difficulty getting through it. Maybe it's just not for me.
I look forward to LaKeith's next project.
