An outraged reverend buys a public access station that specializes in what he considers pornographic broadcasting (shows include "Conspiracy Of The Week" and "Eat Me" all on Channel 69) ran by his daughter and her friends.

User Reviews

funny but annoying

Okay, so yeah, this movie was funny. However, besides having an "all-star cast" especially for an indie film, the plot was shallow and by the end of the movie I got extremely annoyed by the whole thing. The movie itself turned into a huge anthem of protesting and tried desperately to get the audience to stand up for their rights and what they believe in, etc., which is fine but not what I expected of this film at all. I expected it to have some sort of ... substance ... but instead I got an over-done filet of American rights thrown in my face. I wouldn't watch it again.
