"Jesus Henry Christ" is a fine idea, but lacks the proper execution to be a wholly great film. While there are fine performances from Toni Collette and Michael Sheen, I wouldn't count them among their best. The writing posseses an overly quirky quality, though amusing in parts, makes for a rough watch at times. The directing, however, is pretty solid, and often times reminded me of Wes Anderson. Unfortunately the film never reaches the utter glee that Anderson is often inspires, and falls short of anything he has ever done.
