This deliciously offbeat Canadian comedy gets its charm from marvelous acting and from a screenplay bursting with ideas. Great fun.
Wants to be a sex farce, a sports film and a serious meditation on Catholicism. To its credit, it succeeds as all three.
As predictably uplifting movies go, Saint Ralph isn't completely charmless.
Though Butcher is appealing, Saint Ralph is anchored by Scott's persuasive work as a model of intelligent decency.
The real miracle here is that the hard-working cast manages to turn McGowan's script into an intermittently touching tale.
The most blatant rip-off is of the "Rushmore" soundtrack. But Ralph Walker is no Max Fischer, and his monomania gets dull fast.
In fairness, the movie isn't the absolute worst of its kind and there's a certain charm to Butcher's amiable, puppy-eyed performance. But Michael McGowan's direction is as flat as an asphalt road, and his script is gasping for air long before it enters the final stretch.
