This movie is very timely for the late eighties, and it's pretty funny for the most part, but it doesn't have much to say, and the end is silly. I liked it, but It could have been better.

Super Reviewer

Clever idea goes awry. Way too over the top and exagerrated, I understand evangalists tend to be that way, but this takes it to a new extreme. Likeable performances, but again, many are too exagerrated. It has some genuinely funny scenes though.
