God Only Knows Why: Sony is Re-releasing Unwanted “Father Stu” in PG-13 for the Holidays

Share

You may not remember Mark Wahlberg in “Father Stu.” The execrable Christian based movie appeared earlier this year rated R and made just $20 million in the US, with an extra $1 million abroad. It was also released to video.

Now they’re bringing it back, edited for PG-13 but no better, I’m sure. It also stars the miserable antisemite and racist Mel Gibson, who is not featured in the new trailer. “Father Stu” got a lowly 42% on Rotten Tomatoes. The only positive thing to say here is that Sony hasn’t figured out a Spider Man connection.
