With Pope Francis announcing Tuesday that Mother Teresa will be officially canonized on September 4, it’s important to look back on her long journey to sainthood.
Though the 2008 Simon Pegg comedy “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” has been largely forgotten as the years have passed, it remains notable for featuring a religious-themed film-within-a-film, the NC-17-rated “Teresa: Making of a Saint.”
The Mother Teresa biopic stars Megan Fox (who plays an actress named Sophie Maes in “How to Lose Friends”) in a prestige coming-of-age tale about Teresa’s early struggles with lust as her desire for a handsome young priest gets in the way of her more altruistic mission as the world famous Mother as we know her today.
