The Jesus Rolls is available to rent or for purchase on Amazon, YouTube, Google Play, and Vudu.
Actor John Turturro, who's wanted to make a spinoff movie about his flamboyant bowling ball-licking cameo character from The Big Lebowski for almost two decades, finally got the Coen Brothers' permission about five years ago. The result is an uneven blending of the suave, arrogant Jesus Quintana and the 1974 French film Going Places by Bertrand Blier.
The Jesus Rolls follows most of the major beats from that movie -- the end credits acknowledge The Jesus Rolls as being based on Blier's original novel and screenplay adaptation -- while only providing sporadic charm and unruly happenstance. It's a harmless mess but there's never a moment where it doesn't struggle to justify its existence.
The third headliner here, along with Turturro and Cannavale, is Amélie's Audrey Tautou, who plays the duo's paramour of sorts. The surrogate family atmosphere the trio occasionally manifests is endearing but ultimately no one feels like an adult here. A lot of that has to do with the movie being based on a slice of rambunctiously chauvinist French ...
The Jesus Rolls, while a passion project for the writer/director/star -- though it's unclear what Turturro wanted to do more: remake Going Places or do a Jesus follow-up? -- comes off like a flat fever dream. The famous faces are fun and at times there's a wee bit of misfit charm, but in the end it's clumsy and churlish.
