Little sister, read the Bible and get to know Jesus. He has nothing in common with the prosperity gospel, he didn't even have a home. Jesus wants a relationship with you. Just talk to him. Every thing else is extra.
I'm muslim and oh girl we have the same thing over here " the whole godly girl should save the walking talking red flag " in our case its usually her husband 💀
That or the innocent pure sweet Muslimah who knows nothing of sin (usually a child) will marry her cousin usually twice her age to make sure she stays pure 🙄. My cousin herself is a runaway bride.
Same. I hate those films. It is reflective of real life and I hate that. Soo many Muslim girls are set up with an irreligious man to fix his imaan but it almost always messes things up. They did this in Ackley Bridge getting that guy a nice Pakistani wife, just for his irreligious self to cheat with some other woman. These girls can’t fix these low life’s. Also, these boys moms need to leave them alone and stop setting them up with decent women, Muslim or otherwise. They aren’t worth it
@@yourmotherhatesyou641 Have you ever seen those movies where it's kinda the complete reverse? A hijabi woman will basically take off her hijab in an effort to be attractive to a non religious man?
As a “devout Christian” I’ve seen too many “church girls” lower their standards and pick trash dudes just because the guy has “potential” and can “minister the gospel to him”. Nope, nope nope nope nope please don’t do this nonsense it always ends up terrible and then y’all end up blaming others At the end of the day God doesn’t want us to be dumb like Adrienne’s character.
In the same boat those girls don't realized how inconsiderate they themselves are. Not only are you dating who maybe aren't the greatest, but you are pushing your beliefs on them. "You, who have already told me you don't like going to church, has an excuse everytime I ask you to go and it's starting to annoy me". STOP asking your partner do things they've explicitly told you they don't wanna do maybe???? This goes for everyone not just religious pricks like this. Either accept that y'all aren't compatible and find someone who does want to go with you, or pick something y'all'd both wanna do 🙄🙄. This urks me to no end. The gifting of a bible was also a major red flag for him. At the end of the day, he's violent and impulsive and she doesn't understand boundaries. They do not need to be together.
@@blueismylove3128 no he said he was Christian or wanted to be Christian to try and get with her, because he knew that’s the only thing she would accept. She wasn’t pushing boundaries she was holding him to the standard he professed to aspire to. There is a difference between in house and out house religious conversations: if you do not claim to be a part of the group no one cares what you do because there’s no reason you would act differently, if you are claiming to be a part of the group there are rules and a standard by which you are measured objectively, period. This is also because the behavior of people like both characters in this movie, neither of which are really Christian but claim to be Christians, will be used by people like you to generalized Christians as a whole which isn’t cool.
And what happened to being with someone who is equally yolked? I'd think that would be more encouraged lol. You can try and help people change their ways without dating them.

As someone who unfortunately had to watch quite a few Christian movies as a kid, I think (generally speaking) they really struggle with complexity- a lot of the time they function on very black and white logic and therefore have very black and white characters. The character arcs (if they have one) is almost always "bad/less Christian person becomes good/more Christian" and that's all you get. Plus they really love tropes as well, so the plot tends to be pretty clear two seconds in (especially because, again, you kind of know where everyone's arc will end up). Mostly you tend to get the 'so bad it's good' bits from them bending over backwards to make really creepy/awkward/bland stuff in the plot seem wholesome, romantic, or interesting.
😭The toxic "it's women's job to correct and tolerate men's awful behavior" idea is literally so illogical. It's so sad how many people grew up with this garbage rhetoric.
As someone that grew up in a religious household but isn’t religious, this movie is the biggest eye roll for me, like there’s so many things that irk me about this film but it’s mainly due to my personal religious trauma, especially as someone that’s a part of the LGB(T)Qunity
The "I WANT A CHURCH GIRL THAT GI TO CHURCH... AND READ HER BIBLE!!!!" Vine is playing in my head and I just began the video. Edit: Hah!! She sang it!!
I also grew up in a Christian household but the idea of “I’m gonna change a bad boy with my good girlness and Jesus” was never something on my mind. I didn’t think I was good enough for God so I was the one trying to find a devout Christian guy who could help me strengthen my faith. Well, in high school I thought I did find one, but he ended up being the most misogynistic and disrespectful guy I ever met. Once I told him that I was interested in dating him, he gave me a list of rules I had to follow. Some of the rules were, I had to wear shapeless clothes so I don’t “tempt” him, I wasn’t allowed to go to events without him, and I had to attend his church with him every Sunday, to name a few. I’m glad I ended up not dating him because I can only imagine how miserable I actually would’ve been.
Girl you dodged a bullet. That man wasn't looking for a girlfriend or wife but a servant. None of that is biblical. You shouldn've told him all you got to do is praise the Lord, live and Die.
First off, yikes, Christian or not, that guy is a creep and he has no business telling ANYONE how to dress. Second, as a Christian, you said something that concerned me and that was that you thought you weren’t good enough for God. In Christianity, there is no such thing as good enough for God. In the Bible it says that everyone is wicked and the only thing that saves us is the grace of God. None of us are good on our own, it’s all because of how God has changed us. Paul, one of the “writers” of the Bible, was actually a murderer before he came to God. Anyways, I’m starting to ramble, but please don’t think you have to be good in order to know God. Okay, byeeeee 🖤
Religious trauma does fr make movies like this harder. My parents are religious, but luckily, they're super chilled. I've got a lot of super religious relatives who have done so much messed up stuff to us. Not them disowning us because my mom got remarried after my dad literally died🙂
Lowkey, me and my mom (a Christian and a Cameroonian) were going to watch this with other christian movies while doing my hair. We put it on and a few mins in she was like "this is ghetto, change it" ( not exactly but it was the vibe) and yeah I changed it 🙂 soo... yeah it was that bad🤣
Aww a fellow Cameroonian ❤️ My mom and I tried to watch it too and couldn’t make it half way through the movie because it was too cringey. 😅😅We ended up reverting back to Nigerian Christian movies (because those are the best ones.)
I was always taught the exact opposite when came to dating. I was always told If he ain’t Christian don’t waste your time. You can be his friend but don’t date and try to make him Christian it’s something he has to do on his own. God wants that people to come to him on their own he doesn’t want people forced into it.
Ohh nooo! I was raised in a Prosperity gospel church too! I'm still a Christian though, God really helped me to work through all the trauma I got from all that. Had to unlearn some stuff and relearn that Jesus wasn't like that. Loved this episode Kennie!
prosperity gospel stuff is so weird to me considering it's the opposite of what Jesus taught. Americans are really so brainwashed by capitalism that corrupt church leaders made Christianity capitalist and hardly anyone noticed :(
@Mischа Rомо I think the worst part is that it's not just in America. I was born and bred in an African country and its just as bad. It's easy to trick people into the prosperity gospel when they're desperate for the basics. But at the end of the day, the truth remains the same. Christ never came to start a 'Get Rich Quick' scheme.
@@zuvarashe900 that's very disheartening :( I didn't realize it was so big all over the world! You are right, that the message hasn't changed...I love that last sentence ❤🔥
Girl, I would never want to impose and overstep the boundaries of the parasocial confies of youtube. But I would love to hear more about your church experiences and what growing up Christian was like for you. I always find hearing the stories of others in that regard fascinating. But again it's very personal so no pressure at all. 😊
Kennie, I would love to chat with you more about your upbringing. Whenever you mention it, it's such a tease for me, as an excommunicated homeschooled Mormon survivor. Another great video as usual. I love that you took a second to talk about that hero complex bit of Christian relationship. SOOOOOO much pressure in those relationship! Don't settle for less than reciprocity. - Hannah
until I heard her talk about the whole admiral kennie (and I was like, now that you say that, I hear the right thing too), I always thought she says adderal kennie and given how chaotic the videos are, I never questioned it lol
Hahaha the church girl wearing short skirts and showing cleavage??!!??😯😳 No, but seriously, I'd have been crucified for wearing any of the "sinful" clothes shown on Adrienne in this movie.
Big same. I was in praise and worship and was told one day (because my skirt was too short) that just in case someone comes in, they couldn't have me as a representative of the church. I've also been made fun of by grown women because I have a big chest. Something I can't help! Part of the reason I have body issues.
@Sweetienique You shouldn't have been made fun of. And if your skirt was short. They could've given you a shawl or scarf. Our church keeps extra if any one needs one.
Don't save him. He don't wanna be saved, Sis. Stop raising your man like he your son. Your boyfriendson or husbandson is not a good investment. These dudes want you to accept less and struggle, girl, you can do bad all by yourself, honey. No codependent relationships in the 21st century. This movie was the ultimate buffoonery. Ja Rule solidified his fall in the game with this, at least Adrienne recovered.🥴
Excuse me! Sooo we're not gonna talk about that gap band/charlie wilson tribute/intermission for like 2 minutes. 22:28 Loved every second! I couldn't breathe😂😂😂🤣I was singing along because I love them and Outstanding is one of my favorite songs ever.
My running theory as to why Christian movies are so technically bad is because they don't need to be daring. All they have to do is get a trite, pre-packaged message across to a captive audience and this idea doesn't attract many skilled film makers. They'd want more out of a project, I'm sure. (Also see: Christian pop and rock music)
Fun fact about this movie is the pastor who owned the Lambo…that’s who’s the movie is based on. He’s also wrote this movie and produce the movie. Also one of the reasons why Adrienne was in this movies because her husband is one of the producers as well.
As a Christian, the prosperity gospel makes me so mad. I hate when people try to add things to salvation. Anyways, I love all your videos & these are the highlight of my week
It kind of sounds like a Hallmark movie. At least, where you can figure out exactly what's going to happen. As in, the Hallmark movies where this guy or girl visits a small town, sometimes after a relative has passed away. They're only there for a few days to deal with the will, then meet the baker in that town or the farmer or whatever and fall in love. Then, leave behind everything that they knew--job, friends, their entire life in the city, all for this person they've known for maybe a week or a month.
@AbsentDay Oh, same! You know the plot a million miles away, but so many people love Hallmark movies. Also, Lifetime movies which...really aren't for all ages. But, if you were ever home from school sick or there was no school that day, you'd get curious. The movie that sticks out in my mind is one where Jeremy Sumpter--who'd starred in the 2003 live action Peter Pan as that character was in this movie where he was a porn addicted teen. The movie ended with him trying to drown himself in the school pool, I think. There was also a scene where he tried to watch porn with his friends at a party and was all smiles until he realized they all thought he was a weirdo.
@AbsentDay I don't blame you at all. Hallmark is pretty harmless fun. I liked their holiday movies that they showed through December. But yeah. I was in SHOCK when I saw Cyber Seduction. I mainly watched it because I was home from school sick or something and nothing else was on. Then I saw Jeremy Sumpter in it which was even more shocking since I'd last seen him in Peter Pan. Completely different role from what I was used to seeing him in.
Bruh, giant stain glass white Jesus was filmed at the church my family went to. They made that movie such a big ass deal and a bunch of the members stayed as extras in other scenes that I have no idea if they even used 💀
I thought I was self aware until you said “religious girls are taught to be fixers of men” and GODDAMN that hit home. And I’m willing to bet we were rolling our eyes at the same parts
Don’t worry Kennie my white ass never notices when wigs are bad. Heck, even when you absolutely roast bad wigs in these movies my brain goes “uhhhh yeah totally it’s terrible (howw??? It’s just hair????)” so no judgements here bestie 💜
The thing about these type of movies is that they tend to focus on the propaganda/values instead of decent storytelling or good acting. Like there are animated short films that do a way better job than any of these pretentious pieces of media🤧
Kennie, when we were out to dinner tonight, my dad was like “You ever heard of The Gap Band?” And I burst out singing “Burn Rubber On Me” because of this video. Thank you for showing me the light 😂
With the mention of how Christian women feel it’s their job to “save” their terrible partners, I feel like the movie War Room would make you flip a table.
I watched this when I was younger but I don’t remember much, would you be willing to tell me what you mean by this? I could find a trailer or synopsis but I love hearing people describe films, and especially their bad points, in their own words.
@Gune Umbird Basically, the woman has a cheating husband, and everyone around her is telling her that its HER job to fix her marriage by praying more and being a better Christian instead of confronting him
My mother is a Christian and loves that movie. And at that time, she had a shitty husband. I guess to couldn’t pray away the dysfunction of a man that had a rough life. So they are now separated
Kennie! I love your vids so much and I am always here for a bad movies and a beat. As a black christian girly to another black girly I am sorry the church treated you wrong. You didn't deserve that, I hope you can find your peace with it. Love you!
27:04 Seeing my Pastor as I was training to be a Deacon in my Grandfather's Baptist church, In a casino drinking with The first lady , the day I came out to my family was Linda Blair levels of whiplash! Especially when his final words to me was I am going to hell. wait what were we talking about.....
not all christian movies are bad "the prince of egypt" still hits to this day. the soundtrack is mmmmmmhmhmhm😩😫imaculate. its song "the plagues hits harder then my mother when i was 5 and cut off a piece of my hair (btw im not even christian)
I am a devout Christian, but imma give my 2 cents. 1. I am not anybody's saviour, if he wants to know God that's his choice 2. Prosperity gospel is the bane of my existence, my money doesn't mean happiness. Neither does the bible preach prosperity, it says the disciples were to take nothing with them except the clothes on their backs. 3. I'm not staying with a man because his dying mama said God sent me to stay with him. Imma pray and find that out myself. 4. The saviour complex dating is actually such a big problem... Can't say I'm innocent, but I know damn well I can't and shouldn't try to save men... Their problems are theirs to fix. I can help, but it's not my baggage to carry. Anyways, thanks for reading...
The GAP band tribute was gift I never expected! 😂As a practicing Christian the missionary dating messaging in this movie gave me hives along with the other problematic themes. The writers need ta repent ASAP 😂
Nothing like finding love in a vintage band at an early age. 8 years old is just perfect and then that music lives in a core place the rest of your life. It was Michael Jackson for me.
he's smart, he's rich ,he's good looking..supposedly a cop describing Jarule🤭🥳🤣whoever wrote this movie script deserves 50 lashes & I dont mean on the eyes🤦🏽♀️😵💫
NOOOOOOOO not this movie XD my friends and I streamed this a while back and all I remember was us laughing our asses off from start to finish. ugh. such good memories. of friends, not the movie. I can't wait to see what you have to say about this one, queen.
I can remember accidentally stumbling onto this masterpiece and finding out that the person that the movie is based on is the rich guy with the Ferrari (don’t come for me if I’m wrong; aka the pastor). This is the most chaotic movie I’ve ever seen so enjoy👍🏽. Correction: Lamborghini not Ferrari.
Okay, my Lexapro's been kicked in for a while now, and I'm here to tell you that if some guy got pulled over for reckless driving because he tried to follow me in traffic, and felt it okay to *tell me that* like it was cute, I would think him the dumbest man in the world.
Watching this movie made me realize this movie was funnier than intended because A) Christians who don't call themselves Christians and B) the fact that the cop cancelled his investigation on Ja Rule's character because he's a Christian too. Okaaay.
I wanted to recommend Pumpkin, with Christina Ricci. She plays a sorority girl who develops romantic feelings for a mentally-challenged man. Not sure if it is a bad movie or a good one, but I will let you be the judge. Thank you for your videos and the awesome entertainment!
Religious trauma and pureflix are a match made in hell- you do you and you know your limits better than anyone, I just wanna be sure you don’t feel pressured to make content that actively harms you in the process ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for this video, the film was trash and I’m so sorry it brought up painful stuff, you were hilarious and stunning as always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As someone with religious trauma, I'd be very interested if you were to do another video focusing on that. Maybe even incorporate it to a Bad Movies and a Beat, maybe watch Facing the Giants or something.
Damn, I'm literally addicted to this series! I just happily giggled after walking in the house after a long day and seeing that there is a new video out 😂 Thanks a lot, Kennie 🤗
There was a time when I loved the "I can fix him" trope and maybe the church had something to do with it but no no no. Even fictional bad boys can be scary af.
The only Christian movie I genuinely enjoyed and think was a good movie was a walk to remember. Also (unrelated) Kennie's random burst of song had me cracking up 😆
It's based off a true story but everyone was an upper middle class (going on upper class) white "republican-ish" person. In case you were wondering how they got off easy comparable to their friends. And he's now one of those rich white people who aggressively declares themselves Italian American thus possibly not white.
Naaah the cop face thing makes so much sense! There’s a woman in TV land who ONLY plays lawyers and she has a lawyer face. And the medical director of Chicago pd - the actress played head of the police force in law and order (I think?) for ages. She is a person of authority and I’ll never see her the same. So I get it!
In the years I've been a fam of this channel this is the first time I have full memory of a movie that Kennie is going to talk about. And I hate that I got excited when I heard the title... My devoted Christian mother made me watch this with her in theatres. I loved it..... Because my highschooler brain hought it was camp...

This was me when I saw the notification! I'm glad someone else thought this 😂😭
“Any religious leader who speaks the word of god who has more then one suit while someone has no clothes is a cop-out.”
I also grew up in a Christian household but the idea of “I’m gonna change a bad boy with my good girlness and Jesus” was never something on my mind. I didn’t think I was good enough for God so I was the one trying to find a devout Christian guy who could help me strengthen my faith. Well, in high school I thought I did find one, but he ended up being the most misogynistic and disrespectful guy I ever met. Once I told him that I was interested in dating him, he gave me a list of rules I had to follow. Some of the rules were, I had to wear shapeless clothes so I don’t “tempt” him, I wasn’t allowed to go to events without him, and I had to attend his church with him every Sunday, to name a few. I’m glad I ended up not dating him because I can only imagine how miserable I actually would’ve been.
Girl you dodged a bullet. That man wasn't looking for a girlfriend or wife but a servant. None of that is biblical. You shouldn've told him all you got to do is praise the Lord, live and Die.
First off, yikes, Christian or not, that guy is a creep and he has no business telling ANYONE how to dress. Second, as a Christian, you said something that concerned me and that was that you thought you weren’t good enough for God. In Christianity, there is no such thing as good enough for God. In the Bible it says that everyone is wicked and the only thing that saves us is the grace of God. None of us are good on our own, it’s all because of how God has changed us. Paul, one of the “writers” of the Bible, was actually a murderer before he came to God. Anyways, I’m starting to ramble, but please don’t think you have to be good in order to know God. Okay, byeeeee 🖤
at least his rules were straight from the bible
Religious trauma does fr make movies like this harder. My parents are religious, but luckily, they're super chilled. I've got a lot of super religious relatives who have done so much messed up stuff to us. Not them disowning us because my mom got remarried after my dad literally died🙂
Lowkey, me and my mom (a Christian and a Cameroonian) were going to watch this with other christian movies while doing my hair. We put it on and a few mins in she was like "this is ghetto, change it" ( not exactly but it was the vibe) and yeah I changed it 🙂 soo... yeah it was that bad🤣
Ooh fellow Cameroonian purr
@@nirvanaheights Heyyy👋
Ahh another cameroonian!! What tribe?
@@KIll74N Meta tribe, though I dont speak a lot of the language or pidgin 😢
Aww a fellow Cameroonian ❤️ My mom and I tried to watch it too and couldn’t make it half way through the movie because it was too cringey. 😅😅We ended up reverting back to Nigerian Christian movies (because those are the best ones.)
I was always taught the exact opposite when came to dating. I was always told If he ain’t Christian don’t waste your time. You can be his friend but don’t date and try to make him Christian it’s something he has to do on his own. God wants that people to come to him on their own he doesn’t want people forced into it.
Exactly. The whole being ‘equally yoked’ thing.
Heavy on this!
Right! Haven't any of these ppl in these movies heard of "marry in the Lord"?
She didn't marry him until he was 'saved'. Also, there is a lot of information that contradicts itself.
This right here!
"I don't know where it says in the Bible that you can't make a good movie" 💀💀
If I wasn’t already shocked enough for that Ja Rule is in a Christian romance movie, I’m even more surprised that his real name is Jeff. Jeff!
Ohh nooo! I was raised in a Prosperity gospel church too! I'm still a Christian though, God really helped me to work through all the trauma I got from all that. Had to unlearn some stuff and relearn that Jesus wasn't like that. Loved this episode Kennie!
prosperity gospel stuff is so weird to me considering it's the opposite of what Jesus taught. Americans are really so brainwashed by capitalism that corrupt church leaders made Christianity capitalist and hardly anyone noticed :(
@Mischа Rомо I think the worst part is that it's not just in America. I was born and bred in an African country and its just as bad. It's easy to trick people into the prosperity gospel when they're desperate for the basics. But at the end of the day, the truth remains the same. Christ never came to start a 'Get Rich Quick' scheme.
@@zuvarashe900 that's very disheartening :( I didn't realize it was so big all over the world! You are right, that the message hasn't changed...I love that last sentence ❤🔥
I'm a Christian and I hate prosperity gospel so much.
i have evangelical trauma, i loved this, Kennie. That "prosperity" shit is so fuckin scary when you grow up and realize it's just predation.
When Kendall's Gap Band interlude is more ENTERTAINING than the ACTUAL movie ^_^
Girl, I would never want to impose and overstep the boundaries of the parasocial confies of youtube. But I would love to hear more about your church experiences and what growing up Christian was like for you. I always find hearing the stories of others in that regard fascinating. But again it's very personal so no pressure at all. 😊
Kennie, I would love to chat with you more about your upbringing. Whenever you mention it, it's such a tease for me, as an excommunicated homeschooled Mormon survivor. Another great video as usual. I love that you took a second to talk about that hero complex bit of Christian relationship. SOOOOOO much pressure in those relationship! Don't settle for less than reciprocity. - Hannah
Oh hi. Homeschooled ex Mormon here too!
@@Cbshamy hi! Congrats on making it out, it's a tough ride. I'm here if you'd like to chat about your journey

Hilarious 😂
As a kid who grew up going to church at least 4x a week and a huge fan of Ja Rule and The Cheetah Girls, I don’t know how I missed this one. 😅
Holy whoa, four times a week. What denomination did you grow up in, if you don't mind me asking?
@@meifennellysieu7510 apostolic
Hahaha the church girl wearing short skirts and showing cleavage??!!??😯😳
No, but seriously, I'd have been crucified for wearing any of the "sinful" clothes shown on Adrienne in this movie.
Big same. I was in praise and worship and was told one day (because my skirt was too short) that just in case someone comes in, they couldn't have me as a representative of the church. I've also been made fun of by grown women because I have a big chest. Something I can't help! Part of the reason I have body issues.
Those were my thoughts when I was a christian kid watching this movie for the first time. I just assumed american christians do it differently
@Sweetienique You shouldn't have been made fun of. And if your skirt was short. They could've given you a shawl or scarf. Our church keeps extra if any one needs one.
When Kendall told the mom, who was on her death bed, to go to hell, that had me 😂😂😂
Don't save him. He don't wanna be saved, Sis. Stop raising your man like he your son. Your boyfriendson or husbandson is not a good investment. These dudes want you to accept less and struggle, girl, you can do bad all by yourself, honey. No codependent relationships in the 21st century. This movie was the ultimate buffoonery. Ja Rule solidified his fall in the game with this, at least Adrienne recovered.🥴
I need Kennie to cover Glitter starring Mariah Carey. It is similar to Shown girl and Star is born with better music.
Good idea!
Oh yeah!! Jaime French covered it in her similar format
Excuse me! Sooo we're not gonna talk about that gap band/charlie wilson tribute/intermission for like 2 minutes. 22:28 Loved every second! I couldn't breathe😂😂😂🤣I was singing along because I love them and Outstanding is one of my favorite songs ever.
She ended it too soon. Didn’t even get a chance to sing “you dropped a bomb on me”.
My running theory as to why Christian movies are so technically bad is because they don't need to be daring. All they have to do is get a trite, pre-packaged message across to a captive audience and this idea doesn't attract many skilled film makers. They'd want more out of a project, I'm sure. (Also see: Christian pop and rock music)
Thank you Kennie for bestowing us with these messy ass entertaining movies every weekend!! 🙌
Fun fact about this movie is the pastor who owned the Lambo…that’s who’s the movie is based on. He’s also wrote this movie and produce the movie. Also one of the reasons why Adrienne was in this movies because her husband is one of the producers as well.
She was not with her husband then tho, I believe he was still married to his now ex wife
@@madelinekouassi9884Sounds worse 🤨
@@keepyourshoesathedoor You think ? She was in a long term relationship also.
As a Christian, the prosperity gospel makes me so mad. I hate when people try to add things to salvation. Anyways, I love all your videos & these are the highlight of my week
It kind of sounds like a Hallmark movie. At least, where you can figure out exactly what's going to happen. As in, the Hallmark movies where this guy or girl visits a small town, sometimes after a relative has passed away. They're only there for a few days to deal with the will, then meet the baker in that town or the farmer or whatever and fall in love. Then, leave behind everything that they knew--job, friends, their entire life in the city, all for this person they've known for maybe a week or a month.
@AbsentDay Oh, same! You know the plot a million miles away, but so many people love Hallmark movies. Also, Lifetime movies which...really aren't for all ages. But, if you were ever home from school sick or there was no school that day, you'd get curious. The movie that sticks out in my mind is one where Jeremy Sumpter--who'd starred in the 2003 live action Peter Pan as that character was in this movie where he was a porn addicted teen. The movie ended with him trying to drown himself in the school pool, I think. There was also a scene where he tried to watch porn with his friends at a party and was all smiles until he realized they all thought he was a weirdo.
@AbsentDay I don't blame you at all. Hallmark is pretty harmless fun. I liked their holiday movies that they showed through December. But yeah. I was in SHOCK when I saw Cyber Seduction. I mainly watched it because I was home from school sick or something and nothing else was on. Then I saw Jeremy Sumpter in it which was even more shocking since I'd last seen him in Peter Pan. Completely different role from what I was used to seeing him in.
Bruh, giant stain glass white Jesus was filmed at the church my family went to. They made that movie such a big ass deal and a bunch of the members stayed as extras in other scenes that I have no idea if they even used 💀
That Baldwin joke should have never sent me into tears as quick as it did
😆😆😆😆 Not Kennie singing the whole Gap Band discography! I'm here for it!
That was it.
I read the title and all I could hear in my head was 🎵"I want a church girl to go to church, aNd rEaD HeR bYe-bUhL."🎵 😆✝⛪
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought I was self aware until you said “religious girls are taught to be fixers of men” and GODDAMN that hit home. And I’m willing to bet we were rolling our eyes at the same parts
“I want a church girl that goes to church AND READ HaR BaiBlE” 💀
"I don't know where it says in the Bible that you can't make a good movie though " 😅😅
Don’t worry Kennie my white ass never notices when wigs are bad. Heck, even when you absolutely roast bad wigs in these movies my brain goes “uhhhh yeah totally it’s terrible (howw??? It’s just hair????)” so no judgements here bestie 💜
I'm cracking up because they didn't even really date... Like, she encouraged him to come to church and he came and that was kinda it.
😂😂😂
The thing about these type of movies is that they tend to focus on the propaganda/values instead of decent storytelling or good acting. Like there are animated short films that do a way better job than any of these pretentious pieces of media🤧
Kennie, when we were out to dinner tonight, my dad was like “You ever heard of The Gap Band?” And I burst out singing “Burn Rubber On Me” because of this video. Thank you for showing me the light 😂
The GAP Band music break was high quality entertainment 😆
With the mention of how Christian women feel it’s their job to “save” their terrible partners, I feel like the movie War Room would make you flip a table.
I watched this when I was younger but I don’t remember much, would you be willing to tell me what you mean by this? I could find a trailer or synopsis but I love hearing people describe films, and especially their bad points, in their own words.
@Gune Umbird Basically, the woman has a cheating husband, and everyone around her is telling her that its HER job to fix her marriage by praying more and being a better Christian instead of confronting him
My mother is a Christian and loves that movie. And at that time, she had a shitty husband. I guess to couldn’t pray away the dysfunction of a man that had a rough life. So they are now separated
@@queencleopatra007 oh yeah that’s messed up. Geez I don’t remember that at all
Kennie! I love your vids so much and I am always here for a bad movies and a beat. As a black christian girly to another black girly I am sorry the church treated you wrong. You didn't deserve that, I hope you can find your peace with it.
Love you!
The Gap Band break was HILARIOUS because girl SAME! 😂
27:04 Seeing my Pastor as I was training to be a Deacon in my Grandfather's Baptist church, In a casino drinking with The first lady , the day I came out to my family was Linda Blair levels of whiplash! Especially when his final words to me was I am going to hell. wait what were we talking about.....
not all christian movies are bad "the prince of egypt" still hits to this day. the soundtrack is mmmmmmhmhmhm😩😫imaculate. its song "the plagues hits harder then my mother when i was 5 and cut off a piece of my hair (btw im not even christian)
The Prince of Egypt is about Jews. Yes, the story is in the Bible, but also the Torah (which was first) and the Quran.
unfortunately its a jewish story, not christian. the "old testament" is basically the torah
@Viteaification Christians still follow the Old Testament. Plus, the movie producers had Jewish AND Christian consultants working on the movie
I sprained my finger I clicked so fast!!! KENNIE!!!! ❤ Why don’t you record audiobooks? You have an amazingly soothing tone!😊
I think you can "listen" to her videos on Spotify
I am a devout Christian, but imma give my 2 cents.
1. I am not anybody's saviour, if he wants to know God that's his choice
2. Prosperity gospel is the bane of my existence, my money doesn't mean happiness. Neither does the bible preach prosperity, it says the disciples were to take nothing with them except the clothes on their backs.
3. I'm not staying with a man because his dying mama said God sent me to stay with him. Imma pray and find that out myself.
4. The saviour complex dating is actually such a big problem... Can't say I'm innocent, but I know damn well I can't and shouldn't try to save men... Their problems are theirs to fix. I can help, but it's not my baggage to carry.
Anyways, thanks for reading...
i'm glad to know the Sandals Resort commercials during Price is Right was a universal experience
The GAP band tribute was gift I never expected! 😂As a practicing Christian the missionary dating messaging in this movie gave me hives along with the other problematic themes. The writers need ta repent ASAP 😂
Nothing like finding love in a vintage band at an early age. 8 years old is just perfect and then that music lives in a core place the rest of your life. It was Michael Jackson for me.
These type of movies perpetuates the “I can fix him” mindset. 😂
Kennie got me pulling up Charlie Wilson and Gap Band on my Apple Music and Spotify 🙌🏾
I remember this movie BET loved playing it and I loved avoiding it after seeing it one time still can’t believed it’s based on a true story
he's smart, he's rich ,he's good looking..supposedly a cop describing Jarule🤭🥳🤣whoever wrote this movie script deserves 50 lashes & I dont mean on the eyes🤦🏽♀️😵💫
Fr. This is embarrassing.
NOOOOOOOO not this movie XD my friends and I streamed this a while back and all I remember was us laughing our asses off from start to finish. ugh. such good memories. of friends, not the movie. I can't wait to see what you have to say about this one, queen.
"I need a church girl, who go to church, and ReAd hEr biBLe~"
Remember seeing this on BET, they just went for all the good girl bad boy tropes lol
Had to comment again to say thank you for the mini concert. Don't start cutting those bits, I LIVE for them somedays 😆
Kennie breaking out into song in the middle of this makes this a peak BMAAB video 🤣.
I can remember accidentally stumbling onto this masterpiece and finding out that the person that the movie is based on is the rich guy with the Ferrari (don’t come for me if I’m wrong; aka the pastor). This is the most chaotic movie I’ve ever seen so enjoy👍🏽.
Correction: Lamborghini not Ferrari.
As someone who has been on Lexapro for years, I promise you it will not alter your judgement to the point where you find reckless driving "cute".
Okay, my Lexapro's been kicked in for a while now, and I'm here to tell you that if some guy got pulled over for reckless driving because he tried to follow me in traffic, and felt it okay to *tell me that* like it was cute, I would think him the dumbest man in the world.
Watching this movie made me realize this movie was funnier than intended because A) Christians who don't call themselves Christians and B) the fact that the cop cancelled his investigation on Ja Rule's character because he's a Christian too. Okaaay.
getting ready for work while watching this is the only thing that will get me through this shift ‼️
I wanted to recommend Pumpkin, with Christina Ricci. She plays a sorority girl who develops romantic feelings for a mentally-challenged man. Not sure if it is a bad movie or a good one, but I will let you be the judge.
Thank you for your videos and the awesome entertainment!
That movie is my guilty pleasure 😞
Religious trauma and pureflix are a match made in hell- you do you and you know your limits better than anyone, I just wanna be sure you don’t feel pressured to make content that actively harms you in the process ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for this video, the film was trash and I’m so sorry it brought up painful stuff, you were hilarious and stunning as always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As someone with religious trauma, I'd be very interested if you were to do another video focusing on that. Maybe even incorporate it to a Bad Movies and a Beat, maybe watch Facing the Giants or something.
Damn, I'm literally addicted to this series! I just happily giggled after walking in the house after a long day and seeing that there is a new video out 😂
Thanks a lot, Kennie 🤗
When you were talking about the saving the bad boy with the love of God trope…. All I could think of was that Bonnet of Salvation chick 😂
There was a time when I loved the "I can fix him" trope and maybe the church had something to do with it but no no no. Even fictional bad boys can be scary af.
The only Christian movie I genuinely enjoyed and think was a good movie was a walk to remember. Also (unrelated) Kennie's random burst of song had me cracking up 😆
20:27 Please read Ride or Die by Shanita Hubbard. She explains this phenomenon perfectly
Imma read it !
It's based off a true story but everyone was an upper middle class (going on upper class) white "republican-ish" person. In case you were wondering how they got off easy comparable to their friends. And he's now one of those rich white people who aggressively declares themselves Italian American thus possibly not white.

okay but when we’re talking about christian/religious movies being bad we’re not talking about the prince of egypt right?
I zoned out for like two seconds and then suddenly i hear you belting charlie wilson 😭😭
Naaah the cop face thing makes so much sense! There’s a woman in TV land who ONLY plays lawyers and she has a lawyer face. And the medical director of Chicago pd - the actress played head of the police force in law and order (I think?) for ages. She is a person of authority and I’ll never see her the same. So I get it!
"Idk where in the bible it says you can't make a good movie." SCREAMED. SCRUMPT. 😭
In the years I've been a fam of this channel this is the first time I have full memory of a movie that Kennie is going to talk about. And I hate that I got excited when I heard the title... My devoted Christian mother made me watch this with her in theatres. I loved it..... Because my highschooler brain hought it was camp...
"At that point, I'd have to tell them to get tf off my property" 😂😂 pls do stand up lol
