* In-Universe, Darla's "Lil' Ark Angel" movie is terrible when you know that she's really [[NiceCharacterMeanActor a terrible and cruel person]]. There are two perspectives that you could use to look at the in-universe movie, Christian and non-Christian, and either way, it's a complete failure:

** If you are Christian, you'll realize that the movie is a ''[[TheThemeParkVersion completely butchered]]'' version of the story of Noah, which is pretty messed up considering that, to Christians, it's more than just a story. Darla's claim that "The people, they were so bad / that the Lord made the rain come down" is a pretty gross understatement of the events that actually led to God allowing the flood.[[note]]The fact that God spared Noah and his family makes it clear that He did not want to just wipe out humanity in a blind rage, but the amount of corruption and evil in every other person gave Him little choice. [[https://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-study/topical-studies/why-did-god-flood-the-world.html This source]] suggests that maybe the people were slowly destroying each other by their own evil acts, and God let the flood happen to give a quicker end to the people who were doomed anyway. Some sources claim that Also, some claim that God did not necessarily "make" the flood, as in literally conjuring it up with the intent to kill, but rather that the flood was the natural result of God temporarily turning His back on the world.[[/note]] Not to mention that it completely omits Noah and his family and casts Darla, the "angel," as the one who builds the ark. Darla is taking a culturally and historically significant story and using it to boost her own ego.

** A little bit of Fridge Brilliance might save it, though with some sadness that films the posters are from move farther and farther away from the type of performing you see them do in the movie. If you consider the movie to be a biopic in-universe, the posters are the equivalent of pictures shown of the real-life persons portrayed in the film, often helping tell what happened next in their lives. The posters tell us how the careers of Danny and his friends progress, not that no one else got their own roles.
