When we meet David Frank he is a mess. His spirit shattered by the death of his wife, this formerly successful corporate attorney spends days in his bathrobe with his only real companion, his beloved dog, Brutus. While David's away a tornado hits and despite his heroic efforts, he watches helplessly as the dark funnel of destruction sucks up the house, and Brutus, like some Wizard of Oz nightmare - the punishing finger of God. Then, adding insult to injury, the Insurance Company tells him they won't pay because the damage falls under the 'Act of God' clause in his policy. David is livid. But then he gets the bright idea to sue God and His representatives as co-defendants. After a farcical yet poignant series of depositions, the trial commences. Fueled by a megalomaniac and opportunistic judge, a beautiful but damaged defense attorney, and David Frank's own sharply-honed legal gymnastics, the "God Trial" stirs up a frenzy of passions. What starts as a crazy, radical stunt ultimately becomes a very deep and soulful journey.

| User Reviewscott sFrank vs. God is a wonderful film about a man who decides to sue God for the destruction of his home during a tornado. Not wanting to leave anyone out of his lawsuit, he serves a Priest, a Rabbi, a Buddhist Monk an Alim and a slew of other denominations to pay for his home. This movie is poignant as well as laugh out loud funny. Henry Ian Cusack is bang on as the man peeved at God when his insurance won't pay for his "act of God" devastation. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie with your family. You'll be discussing it for hours! |
| User ReviewLee SVery cute, touching and entertaining film. It was the absolute best movie I ever appeared in as an extra (Man in dark suit, dancing the Hora as the rabbi is served with law suit in both trailer and film - thank you very much). |
| User ReviewShelby SI love this movie! It is thoughtful, intriguing, heartfelt, funny. It leaves you with something to ponder and something to feel good about. Whatever your faith, world view or philosophy, you will find some sort of faith in humanity in this movie while still having a good time to boot! |
| User ReviewMike PWe saw this at the Heartland Film Festival. An excellent indie film that rivals anything being put out by the major studios. |
