Jesus and Buddha take a vacation from Heaven, and decide to rent an apartment together in Japan. Their new landlady is highly suspicious of her new "foreign" tenants since bizarre things seem to happen whenever they are around. Animals flock to them, trees randomly burst into fruit, and strange rumors are floating around that one of them walks on water and the other has a glowing halo. Can these two saintly men peacefully enjoy their holiday undetected, or will their holy hijinx blow their cover?

I thought that this would be a funny and insightful comedic commentary that cunningly toys with the philosophies and concepts of Buddhism and Christianity. But it's just a collection of lame gags based on some superficial inferred characteristics and superpowers of Buddha and Jesus as they're trying to keep a low profile among mortals. And they act in a pretty immature and unenlightened fashion considering who they're supposed to be.
