The Review: The Book Of Clarence


The Book Of Clarence 5/10

I shit you not, until gathering the names of the cast of this I thought that Donald Glover played Jesus in this. Wow. I was super wrong. This is about a guy named Clarence who is hustling but not super successful at any of it. He decides to start performing “miracles” like Jesus which pisses off the apostles including his twin brother who is the 12th of them. I honestly don't have too much to say about this movie. It isn't bad but I couldn't sit here and say you should rush out and see it. The cinematography looks good and it has some good songs...but. The story has an issue with tone. It jumps from one feeling to another without giving enough time to let one settle which is odd considering how long this movie was. I checked it out on Netflix. Its a perfectly okay film.
