Criterion really does set the standard for DVD covers. It'd be nice to see other companies take a page from their book instead of churning out the same old trash week after week.

Quote
Critic Dennis Schwartz wrote, "It's a pathetic story about religion reduced to materialism as the aggressive Bible salesmen prey on the vulnerable to persuade them to buy a product they are reluctant to purchase. This engaging look at hungry Bible salesmen in action who are not adverse to lying to make a sale contrasts to the sanctimonious hyperboles set forth by the industry speakers at a sales convention in Chicago. It mocks the gullible public, the untrustworthy salesmen and the competitive concepts of capitalism that drives the human condition in America. This up close look at the anxious Bible salesmen trying to close the deal has become a cult classic documentary. The salesmen are not concerned about anything but selling as many Bibles as they can, which says a lot about our consumerism culture that we don't often hear in such an open way."


Critic from Wikipedia's gots beef with your poppop, dawg.
