Sam stood on stage with thousands of crazy fans. Smart, charming, handsome, Sam had given with his message, called for contributions for his charity. For Sam, embezzlement was easily comparable to getting attention from the only person he cared. When Callie, tourism manager and lover of Sam, finally discovered his tricks, it was the moment for Sam to tell the truth.

A knowing, very sharp script gives this comedy a very strong kick as it tells a story about interlopers in America's Christian subculture.

The movie loses its zip as it becomes more dramatic ...

A remarkably smart, funny, brave, and heartfelt first feature film -- Bakke has a sharp eye but a warm heart and a refreshing honesty.

... manages some consistent laughs as it pokes good-natured fun at religious gullibility.

A thought-provoking, faith-based parable asking whether it's ever too late to make a second impression, especially on God.

A smart, sly comedy about what its director, Will Bakke, calls "the power of platforms," "Believe Me" parodies the machinery of faith-based fund-raising with its heart on its sleeve and its jokes above the belt.

There are moments when the movie hits the target. Unfortunately, they're not enough to raise what might have been a sharp, perceptive take on the rah-rah side of modern Christianity above the level of mediocrity.

The intentions of Believe Me are admirable. The execution, though, is unconvincing and not especially funny.
