Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown give fully committed performances in Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul, so why does the film lack faith in itself?
Honk for Jesus, Adamma Ebo's directorial debut based on her short film is centred on a pair ripe for parody: Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs (Brown) and his loyal wife, Trinitie (Hall), leaders of an Atlanta-area Southern Baptist megachurch called Wander to Greater Paths.
It takes about half a minute to realise Childs' spiritual centre is more designer-label than Deuteronomy. Showing off their closets, Lee-Curtis gives thanks for being "blessed with some beautiful Prada."
