The Resurrection of Gavin Stone sends a washed-up child star to do community service at a megachurch, where he pretends to be a Christian to get cast as Jesus in the Passion play. The worst children in town take over the nativity in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, and a man who traded his faith for a lucrative career is shown the other version of his life by an angel in What If.... Jenkins keeps the performances closer to ordinary speech than most of the genre allows, and builds his audience directly, with no studio in between. You can hear the sermon coming, and the people delivering it still sound like people.
