3 So much for the separation of church and state; so much, also, for the marriage of church and comedy.

Just plain bad.

Have to give it an 8 just because no one else has. The kids enjoyed it, not sure there's a better barometer than that. Comedy more slapstick with less of the unnecessary innuendo that Bruce Almighty had.
