Rockwell is an inexplicable blank in the middle of what I can only assume was meant to be an absurd comedy.

Even with the likes of Amy Ryan and Will Forte providing capable backup, it all grows ancient, fast.

There is little that is worse than satire that tiptoes around its subject, as if risking offense were a sin.

Don Verdean may only appeal to hardcore Hess fans-anyone else will likely never once crack even a smile.

There is an absence of meanness in the Hesses' comic worldview that makes their films almost impossible to dislike.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
There is a redemptive message in Verdean's eventual downfall but it's mostly lost in a storyline that tries way too hard to be outlandish.

In this quirky comedy from the filmmaking duo behind NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and NACHO LIBRE, Sam Rockwell plays Don Verdean, an overconfident biblical archaeologist who is hired by a provincial pastor to unearth sacred artifacts in Israel. Unable to fulfill his mission, Verdean attempts to cover up his dismal failure in comic fashion. Directed by Jared Hess. Written by Jared and Jerusha Hess. Amy Ryan, Jemaine Clement, Danny McBride, and Will Forte co-star.
