The ‘Apostles’ Score Five Stars

The Dove Foundation has given Apostles of Comedy: The Movie their highest rating possible for a film. The DVD releases nationwide via First Look Studios on September 9, 2008.

Here’s what the film’s description has to say:

Apostles features four top comedians Jeff Allen, Brad Stine, Anthony Griffith and Ron Pearson. All four have honed their crafts in the most secular of entertainment venues, yet because of their personal beliefs, have kept their comedy clean and free of crude themes. While their comedy is showcased at length, the lives of these four award-winning comedians are also explored. In documentary-style fashion, the comedians are shown at home with their families, as well as in unrehearsed conversations with each other behind-the-scenes. Each comedian has a unique background and style of comedy, yet all four share a common thread– they are all family-friendly in their approach, keeping their comedy free of raw language or crude themes, but without losing their edge.”

“We chose some of the best comedians in the business,” says Lenny Sisselman, who has produced comedy shows for over 26 years and worked with performers such as Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld and Tim Allen. “But we also chose comedians who specifically do comedy that appeals to all ages, something that the whole family could sit down and enjoy together.”
