As a struggling boy band nears the end of its “Raise the Praise” tour of bingo halls and pancake suppers, the apostles of pop-Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham-get their chance to break into the big time. These small town heart-throbs hit the boards for the Lord with their angelic voices, sinfully hot dance moves and lyrics like “Jesus Called Me On My Cell Phone” and “Girl, You Make Me Wanna Wait”. A hilarious, holy hit for the whole family!
