Bizarre film but kind of funny, 31 July 2004
10/10
Author: RDenial from Detroit

It is too bad that this film is forgotten. It was possibly the best Christian film that I ever saw. Kind of bizarre storyline with a group of Christians wanting to spread the Gospel so for some reason they buy a blimp to spread the Word. They upset the whole Mayberry type town as their radio signals messes up peoples TV reception and the Gospel tracts that they throw out of the blimp covers freshly raked lawns. Kind of funny to see angry townspeople shaking their fist at the Blimp. Then things get really weird. The guy who pilots the Blimp starts dressing up in some Commodore outfit for some reason and starts on a delusion of grandeur trip. I had a friend once who thought that this film should be turned into a Christian "Rocky Horror Picture Show" with people in the pews dressing up as their favorite characters and reacting to lines in the film. It would have been fun. This is a very hard movie to get ahold of.
