About the movie:
CHURCH PEOPLE is a Christian comedy about the megachurch megaproduction sub-culture and getting back to the simplicity of the Gospel, starring Christian comedian Thor Ramsey, Hallmark Channel’s Erin Cahill, Stephen Baldwin, Donald Faison, and NSYNC’s Joey Fatone
Synopsis: Weary from the showiness and materialism that has overtaken his ministry efforts, Guy (Ramsey) goes on a journey to get back in touch with the heart of ministry and be a real role model to his youth group kids. He makes the difficult decision to cut short his speaking tour managed by his money-focused agent (Faison) after realizing that his reputation has become more fame based than Gospel-driven.
But when Guy attempts to return to regular youth ministry, he is thrust into the throes of dissuading the youth group from performing a strange and potentially blasphemous stunt for the upcoming Easter service, starring a young, zealous new Believer, Blaise. In attempting to manage his youth group while navigating an unexpected love interest in the Senior Pastor’s daughter (Cahill) and being a new father to his grown daughter (Manfredi), Guy ultimately rediscovers and puts on a powerful presentation of why we all need to put our hope in Jesus and not in ourselves.

My thoughts:
Church People is a Christian comedy movie done right! I wasn't sure what I was going to think of this movie, but the trailer was interesting and I liked the cast, so I gave it a shot...I'm so glad I did!
I was pulled into the story from the beginning of the movie. I thought the acting was well done and I loved how clean the movie was (no cursing or even kissing, which is rare). I found myself laughing a lot throughout the movie and I loved Joey Fatone's character's "life musicals - SO funny!
All in all, Church People was a great movie and I recommend it.
