Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
Two frat bros must become church bros, fast. After one wild night ends in handcuffs and a campus police escort, two best friends are slapped with 120 hours of community service due in two weeks, or they’re expelled. Their genius plan? Pose as counselors at a local Christian youth camp, where every sing along, campfire devotional, and trust fall counts toward the clock. Just one problem (okay, three): they don’t like kids, they hate camping, and they have barely set foot in a church. Now they’ll have to learn the lingo, fake the faith, and hide the flask all while dodging suspicious pastors, prankster campers and the cutest co-ed counselors they’ve ever seen. Can two party boys lie their way to redemption? Or will their house of half-truths come crashing down before the closing bonfire? Either way, they’d better start praying for a hedge of protection.

Moviegoers are saying
Audiences split hard on this one: a few viewers who came for a light comedy found themselves tearing up and charmed by Becky and Tyler, while others walked in expecting a 'raunchy college comedy' and got what one called 'bible advertisement on the big screen.' The recurring complaint is that the laughs fade about 30 minutes in and the film pivots into 'christian propaganda,' though even critics admit the cast is 'so good' and the movie is 'surprisingly watchable.'

I mean it was clear they had fun making this but it was just so bad. I had high hopes because I really enjoy Matt Cornett but it just was so corny and cringy.
