Paul, a sci-fi where two nerds go off on an adventure trying to get an alien back to his home planet. However, they fail to mention that the movie is completely sacrilegious it portrays Christians as psychotics.
In part of the movie they stop at a Christian camp ground where a girl asked the two nerds if they are believers and "Paul" the alien says Christianity is "horseshit" and argues with the girl until finally places his hand on her head making her believe there is no God turning her to cuss, fornicate and turn from her Christian ways. Out of all I give this movie a 1 because if it didn't have a sacrilegious gesture it would actually be funny.
