Biblical satire starts well but soon loses its course and ends in a complete mess

I was disappointed by the recommended (JS) French-Belgian comedy The Brankd New Testament (2016), a movie w/ great promise and some dark humor especially in the first segment but that ultimately loses focus and control and ends in a complete mess. The concept, to which I willingly suspended disbelief, is that God is a cranky old man living in Brussels with a much-abused wife and daughter (Ea) an and absent son (JC) and a computer with an enormous database of files on all human beings. We see some of his "mistakes" during the process of creating the world (ostriches wandering through a supermarket, for example) and some of his perverse "rules" (e.g., the other line is always faster). These are not exactly groundbreaking concepts - Heller had much to say on the perversity of a god who created pain, for ex. - but the movie gets off to an OK start, as the 10-year-old Ea breaks into the computer system and sends to all people a message telling them exactly how much time, to the second, they have left to live. Now that's pretty interesting. How does that change life on earth? We see a few examples (wars stop, e.g.), but then the movie goes awry, as Ea escapes to earth w/ fsix files she grabs at random, people who she wants to make into another 6 "disciples." Now the movie's gone off on divergent courses, as Ea's goal is to get each "disciple" to tell his or her story. All six suffer from anti-social behaviors, ranging from sad isolation and disappointment in life to actually reprehensible behavior (one is a known killer), and the fact is we care little or nothing about any of them (not even C Deneuve now 70+ in a reversal of her Belle de Jour role as a housewife seeking out male prostitutes and eventually falling in love w/ a Gorilla, if you can suspend that much disbelief). We have no sense that any of these people are disciples of anything, nor that there is any new testament in progress (Ea befriends a man who is homeless and illiterate to take down these stories, for some reason), so by the end the concept of the movie is long-forgotten and we're just looking at a group of oddballs who console one another and through divine intervention fulfill their dreams before fore-ordained death. The movie picks up when God comes to earth in pursuit of wayward daughter, and we follow the cantankerous God in a few confrontations w/ authority - but that's not enough to sustain a nearly 2 hour mess of a movie. The attempts at whimsy fall flat; I wondered if this is the same crew that did Amelie, as the flash cuts and the narrative style and the playful digital imagery recalled that movie, but absent its humanity and its charm.
