Clarissa Explains It All
GOD IS NOT DEAD 2 was more compelling than the previous installment. In that there is actually something at stake. First off, this movie takes place in a courtroom, instead of a Philosophy 101 class. But the courtroom proceedings are so ridiculous, it makes an
episode of NIGHT COURT look like a Nuremberg trial. Furthermore, Kevin Sorbo is conveniently absent from the proceedings, so I’m going to award seven bonus points.
Drive Me Crazy
This film has a simple premise. Clarissa is a history teacher that gets fired for quoting a bible verse. This quote stated a non-controversial, historical fact. Nonetheless, it’s a big deal. Sabrina has to fight for her job in court. Now, the school district is making it their business to persecute a Christian educator. There are other plot points, but I won’t into them, because can see how bored you’re getting.
The only chance a faith-based movie has at success, is with Hollywood stars…of yesteryear. Melissa Joan Hart, Robin Givens, Ernie Hudson. Also, it was strange to see the sister from THE GOLDBERGS, play one of the main characters. I like her on that show, and I don’t know how she got roped into this. Because it’s not like this gig pays network sitcom money.
Salem Witch Trial
As I stated earlier, Melissa Joan Hart stars in this film. Yes, that Melissa Joan Hart. Star of CLARISSA EXPLAINS IT ALL, and SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH. And let me tell you, this movie could really use a talking cat, especially one hell-bent on world domination. His name would be Jesus, and he could take the witness stand. I know he’s not the real Jesus, but no one else has to know. Because a talking cat must be…feline…I mean Divine.
Final Verdict: 7 out of 100
