Heathens at Camp: Faith Film's Funny Twist
25 Jul
Summary
- Two hedonistic men must work at a Christian summer camp as community service.
- The film blends frat-boy comedy with faith-based lessons and a PG-13 rating.
- It explores culture clash at a camp while a lead character develops a crush.
Chris Dowling's film, "Bad Counselors," presents a novel concept within faith-based cinema, blending frat-boy farce with Christian life lessons. The movie features college students Grayson Fuller and Tyler, who are sentenced to community service at the Burning Bush Camp after irresponsible behavior.
Initially mistaking a church service for a nightclub, the duo ends up as counselors, much to the surprise of the camp's pastor, Tom. While Tyler adapts to the sober environment, Grayson struggles with the children and the camp's rituals.
Adding to the dynamic, Grayson develops a crush on Jenna, the pastor's daughter, which creates tension with another youth pastor, Dallas. The film concludes with Grayson resolving to prioritize faith, though its humor takes a backseat to its message.
