The Man Who Sued God
Director: Mark Joffe
Year: 2001
Stars: Billy Connolly, Judy Davis
I wasn't expecting a lot from this - it was just a film I had heard about that happened to be on on a random evening when I wasn't doing very much.
Turns out, it wasn't a bad way to spend a couple of hours. The film is set in Australia, but focuses on a Scottish man (Connolly) who, when told that the lightning that hit his boat is an act of God, (and therefore the insurance company won't pay out), decides to sue God. And that really is the basis of the plot. But it's told warmly, and for the most part is quite endearing. Some of the jokes are silly, but not so silly that you can't (normally) laugh at them.
A pleasant diversion, if you will.
Rating: 3 out of 5

But what is the score? We need to know these things! Otherwise what was the point of watching them?
Oh... wait...
Happy now?
