Damon (Ben Marten), owner of a struggling juicebar, tries his best to
be a good person, which includes feeding the poor with leftovers from his
shop and the like. But of late, his wife Cassie (Stephanie Wohar) has had
a miscarriage and his dad has died from cancer, both of which have quite
understandably been dampers to his positive outlooks on live and have put
a little devil on his shoulder - or rather a man-sized demon (Enrico
Natale) only he can see in his life. But now he's needed to expose a
corruption scandal that would cut social programs in his town, so heaven
sends him archangel Raphael (Valentina Garcia) to counteract the demon and
lead Damon back on the right path - which he has never totally left
anyways. There's only one problem, Raphael's pretty hyper, and her energy
doesn't really connect with Damon's, and at first her attempts to help him
and point him into the right direction only lead to making things worse -
so while she might show him the right way, they're definitely taking the
scenic route ... Now I will admit, at times For Prophet
is playing it up for its faith-based core audience a bit too much, but
that doesn't take away from the fact that it actually works as a pretty
good comedy first and foremost: The conflict at the bottom of things is
hilarious, the characters feel real in all their fallability, and they're
embodied by a rather competent cast, the story develops rather nicely, and
the directorial effort is subtle enough to not stand in everything else's
way. So even if the a bit too wholesome outset and resolution of this film
might not be 100% your thing, there's still plenty to enjoy and laugh
about in this one.
