20 Worst Movies Of 2016

It should be abundantly clear thanks to the many, many examples now that watching card carrying Christian films is not an enriching experience for anyone. For some reason, the inclusion of God as an executive producer seems to go hand in hand with a preclusion of any sort of traditional quality, almost as if they're taking the fact that the bible is so poorly written (as a novel it's sub-EL James) as a guide for how to write their movies.

But then they don't actually need to be good to guarantee an audience, because there's a very committed sub-audience who will go out and see them. That's why the original God's Not Dead took in $60m from a $2m budget and why this movie was spirited into production off the back of it.

Unfortunately, it takes the idea of being bad and absolutely runs with it, offering no more than a militant attack on atheism masquerading as a liberated, free-thinking celebration of God's will. If there's an art to victim reinforcement, this movie has it down: Melissa Joan Hart plays a teacher pilloried for teaching the word of God to a student and hauled in front of the Supreme Court and told to renounce her Faith. Yeah, because that would happen in America, you bunch of morons.
