This psuedo-documentary is obviously a reference to the adventures of Tammy Faye. She was a religious zealot who was proven to be a complete phony who just took naive people's money. The vast majority of evangelical leaders fall into this category, as it is clearly and beautifully described by Sinclair Lewis in his novel "Elmer Gantry", which won as Oscar for Burt Lancaster. The controversial film shows how these unscrupulous people fleece the public with the greatest of ease. If you havent' seen this film or Elmer Gantry, see Elmer Gantry first, and this film will make much more sense to you.
