The trailer is so much better than the movie which is self-important and pretentious. I wrote a review of the film here:

This movie had good acting, but the whole story line is long drawn out and boring. I feel like I wasted money watching this. Can they not make movies with good plots anymore?
The movie is an admittedly effective effort at attacking two things Anderson seems to hate most; the rugged individualism which built this nation, and the religious faithful which kept it morally on the straight and narrow, each crucially contributing towards making America the most giving nation in the history of nations.
Anderson portrayed the independent, driven and self-made man as monstrously greedy, psychopathically hateful and murderously evil. He then portrayed a country pastor as not only a bit of a loon, but much worse, a hypocrite who would sell his faith for the promise of a few lousy bucks.
Obviously, Anderson hates who built America and those who pray in and for it. This movie is his political statement, and reveals how he feels about America today. Disgustingly insidious in its execution, it is hard not to imagine Anderson will one day have to answer for it while he begs the God he insulted so brilliantly for mercy.
