Is that kid wearing an actual Newsboys shirt? Is this horrible product placement or were they so broke they needed free wardrobe?
#AATM

A Christian movie where everyone is in focus and the boom isn't in shot? AMAZING!

Movie guy tip here- when the movie is too cheap to book all the actors for the run, they solve the problem with lots of phone convos because they couldn't be there on the same day
#AATM

Grandma is the luckiest person in this movie. She won't remember any of it.
#AATM

Kevin Sorbo, the 'liberal lefty' professor calling Ayn Rand a great intellect. Come on guys, try just a little harder.
#AATM

David AR White - the only survivor of the Island of Dr. Moreau. His is the most inexplicable career in the history of careers.
#AATM

Professional atheist here, if any professor I ever had forced his students to sign a 'contract' that god is dead, I would be the first one through the dean's door to get him fired.
#AATM

OMG KEVIN SORBO IS ACTING, YOU GUYS!
#AATM

Sorbo is getting out-acted by the dusty plastic ficus that the filmmakers decided needs to be in every shot with him in his classroom. We see you, dusty plastic ficus.
#AATM

Josh's girlfriend forbids him to do his assigned classwork because ... it will ruin their future? How?
#AATM

Getting bored, if only some Duck Dynasty rando would show up for a wooden cameo and make deeply uncomfortable sexual innuendo with his wife - HOLY FUCK WHAT???
#AATM

Ah, the greatest American Christianist conceit ever - "Look! Muslims are awful because they treat women like shit" - never stop being so blissfully unaware, American Christianists. Promise me.
#AATM

OK, the scene in the church with David AR White and the lead kid (name unimportant)- this is exactly the setup to so much gay bear/cub porn I forgot I was watching this movie for a hot second.
#AATM

COULD WE EASE UP ON THE NEWSBOYS PRODUCT PLACEMENT? It's really ruining all layers of nuance of the narrative for me.
#AATM

Oh no, pushy atheist broad has contracted atheist cancer. Should have listened to the Duck Dynasty a-hole and accepted Christ. Christians never get cancer.
#AATM

I feel like Josh's (I learned his name, reluctantly) girlfriend is a bit pushy for a Quiverfull helpmeet. Is it just me?
#AATM

AND the dusty plastic ficus is stealing the scene from Sorbo again.
#AATM

The absurd behavior of Sorbo's professor (name- who cares) is proof that no one involved in this movie from the director to the day-player grip ever went to college.
#AATM

Josh is Christian-splaining the big bang, and Sorbo is smoldering with his patented middle-school interim vice-principal energy. This is the look of a man who knows his sport coat is going to get repossessed.
#AATM

AND Sorbo, aggravated by being upstaged by the dusty plastic ficus, just physically assaults Josh. Classis skeptical educator bullying.
#AATM

It's been so long without any NEWSBOYS product placement I'm jonesing.
#AATM

OK I have something good to say about this movie! The trees are nice!
#AATM

HAHAHAHA!!! Muslim girl is blissing-out listening to Franklin Graham sermons on her ipod!! This and the nice trees? Pinch me!
#AATM

Tonight I learned that non-Christians in relationships are unable to care if their significant other has cancer. These are true and meaningful lessons.
#AATM

HAHAHA! Rental car contract signing comedy! Classic David AR White hilarity! Then the car wouldn't start, AGAIN? No way this happens 25 more times in this movie!
#AATM

You left the bottle of wine, IN THE CAR? This is over! GOD IS DEAD AGAIN! YOU KILLED HIM!
#AATM

More car comedy! It won't start! This is the Inception of Christian movies- amazing!
#AATM

OK, she bought one bottle of wine (still half full on the table) and now 9 people are each have a full glass - either this is a straight-up miracle or there are the same number of drinkers on this movie as college grads (that is, none).
#AATM

Sorbo is wearing his second sport coat in the same week. Shits about to get real.
#AATM

OK, fun game. Watch the crimes against continuity in David AR White's Convo with Sorbo's GF in the diner. The camera keeps rolling back and forth like mad, and the coke/food has a life of its own. Move magic!
#AATM

Did Josh just name-check Lee Strobel in his big philosophical takedown or did an angel just kiss me on my peen? Can this movie possibly be this good?
#AATM

Watching Josh and Sorbo having their confrontation in front of the clearly uncomfortable dusty plastic ficus, I'm convinced Christian filmmakers are unaware of the pulsating gay sexual tension ALL their films are smothered with.
#AATM

AND the Muslim father can't help but beat the Jesus out of his daughter, because goodly Christians would never, uh, do a thing like that, right? Shit I gotta go, I'm tweeting from a reparative therapy Jesus camp and they'll take my phone!!
#AATM

Sorbo's back to sport coat #1. The plastic ficus has not been dusted. There is a small, blank whiteboard in front of a much larger, blank one. The center cannot hold. The falcon cannot hear the falconer.
#AATM

The strawman Sorbo is portraying would be a more convincing atheist villain than Sorbo.
#AATM

Sorbo isn't an atheist after all, you guys! He knows he's real! He just hates the creator of the universe who he knows can cast him into a lake of fire forever! Because that makes so much fucking sense!
#AATM

OMG, David AR White's car started! Either a) god is good all the time or b) the production finally found a pair of jumper cables. I feel like it's b.
#AATM

Oh shit, Grandma (name unimportant) wakes up from dementia long enough to give b-grade Superman (name unimportant) a little Jesus wisdom. They showed that because it's a thing that totally happens.
#AATM

At what point does one age out of being a "NEWSBOY"? After 37 aren't you more "NEWSMAN" material? Does Grinder have a cutoff for this?
#AATM

Sorbo just chillin' in his plush, adjunct professor, mahogany lair reviewing the 'God is Dead' contracts he coerced from his students. Because bad guy.
#AATM

I'm glad to sew that like me, all people fo all nations everywhere are drawn to NEWSBOYS stadium concerts like moths to flames. RESISTANCE TO MIDDLE-AGED CHRISTIAN POP IS FUTILE!
#AATM

OH NOES! I feel like Sorbo is going to cross against the light, because atheists have no morals or concern for life, even their own!
#AATM

First aid pro-tip: Before you try to assist a grievously wounded person, demand they believe whatever pretend you do. I mean, stopping the bleeding or CPR CAN help, but not as much as demanding they like a story from 1st century Palestine as much as you do.

You know what will convince me god is alive? Have one of the Duck Dynasty guys tell some Christian kids who got dragged to NEWSBOYS concert to mass text me. That will for sure do it.
#AATM

New phone. Who dis?
#AATM

What could be more Christian the rejoicing over the still-warm body of a shattered man whose last moments you stole by demanding he joins your D&D club? "Today is a great day"!
