There is so much fun in this movie. Anthony Geary as the pot-smoking TV engineer, Handsome Bill Paxton as the boyfriend of Linda Kozlowski. Annie Potts as the uber-innocent preacher's wife, and Tim Curry as a PREACHER? The plot is plausible, as how many have given hard-earned $$$ to shyster preachers? A LOT. This movie is a Good vs. Bad scenario, but with a twist. Those presumed good (the preacher and his organization) ended up exposed as evil. The bad guys are revealed to be good, honest folk. There is one questionable scene which should have been cut, due to its graphic suggestiveness, so heads up.
The soundtrack is awesome and I wish it had been released onto CD. Songs like "Lay Your Money down for Jesus," used when they passed the donation basket, was written and performed by a pair (as in twins) of then-Branson performers, is my favorite.
It goes in part like this: "Lay Your Money down for Jesus, He died for your sins.
Lay Your Money down for Jesus, you owe your life to Him!" FUNNY!
