When written well, a drama can pack quite a punch.
When poorly written,it can end up being unintentionally laughableor worse, painfully boring.
Entirely unfunny and insipid.The script?

Bad beyond any kind of redemption.
The technical qualities are particularly terrible, but the script doesn’t fall too far behind.
Sometimes, though, they can turn out as badly asI’m Not Ashamed.
But a deeper look into its emotionally manipulative script reveals purely cynical exploitation.
Well-meaning exploitation, certainly, but its good intentions are just lipstick on a pig.

God’s Not Deadis remarkably one-sided and idiotic in its writing.
Each installment in the trilogy is amongthe worst-written romance movies of all time.
His very worst, though, is usually agreed to be the awfulDouble Down.

Nothing about the screenplay makes any kind of sense whatsoever.
On paper, everything aboutGlen or Glendais borderline incomprehensible.
