Watch Movie Trailer
Lloyd Boyd is taking a shower when God calls on him to become a personal preacher, but the under-achieving Lloyd is not entirely sure what that entails. After he drops off business cards at his local grocery store, bus stop, and gas station, he starts getting calls! Soon, Lloyd is inundated with requests, including one from Selma, who wants her husband to rediscover his faith, and Miss Minerva and Miss Flossie, who are tempted to sell their church for $5 million.
Though he has doubts about his call from God, Lloyd stumbles and bumbles through his new role as a personal preacher, and his unconventional style somehow manages to get through to people who were convinced all hope was lost. A comedy about keeping the faith, I Flunked Sunday School reminds you that God does indeed have a plan for everyone's lives, even Lloyd Boyd's.

Dove Worldview:
This is a rather unique film. The story centers around a minister named Lloyd Boyd who is a "personal" minister and is on call to minister to people one-on-one. He works to get a lady's companion, Grant, to go to church with her. Unfortunately, she is not married to her live-in companion, but this is resolved by film's end and she does marry Grant in a plot twist which is a bit surprising. Rev. Boyd also works to save a church which is down to two members, and he takes on other challenges in the film, including his efforts to help a man who can't forgive himself for something which occurred in his past.
This film is a bit disjointed in parts but it does manage to resolve all the major plotlines by the movie's end. This movie includes some theology which some might not agree with-"once saved, always saved," and it includes a racial comment toward the white minister. Also, a comment about "dumb sheep," and a few "Oh God" or "Oh my God" comments. The minister is also not ordained by any church but simply says God called him. For these reasons, we recommend this film for ages twelve and above, with the comment that it is not your typical religious-themed film, but does manage to make the viewer think. And the viewer will probably laugh a few times as well.
