This is certainly ambitious stuff: a high-concept art-film premise dressed up as cringe comedy, which flirts with potentially ingenius religious satire, before grinding to a halt as a tepid rom-com. There are traces of what might have been two great movies here, but the ball is fumbled early on. The basic concept cannot plausibly stretch to accomodate the jokes, and Gervais pushes his acting talents and charisma a little past their limits. "Andy Millman Becomes Pope In The Land Of Inconsiderate Twats" would have been a more accurate title.
