Father Stu (2022)
Written & directed by Rosalind Ross this film based on a true story stars Mark Wahlberg, Jacki Weaver and Mel Gibson. A man retires from boxing, chases a Catholic girl and decides to become a priest.
I am never a fan of films with an overt religious agenda and this one is not the worst offender in the category but still qualifies. Just a bit too one note in it is agenda really. It also raises the eye brow slightly to see some of the cast in a film about redemption given what they did in the past themselves, makes the whole thing feel like a vanity exercise.
2/5
