Wow!! I literally don't know how I feel about this film. It is not a comedy in my opinion. It seems to be a soul search by two religious scam artists, Steve Martin and Debra Winger. They play two scam artist evangelicals who go from big town to big town and make big bucks. Their bus breaks down in a podunk town in need of a rain miracle. They still try to scam the extremely destitute folks out of what little money they have left. They set up a huge revival tent complete with all the fixings including lights, a whole lot of chairs, a rather disturbing white Jesus statute (Jesus was a Semite and was not white by any stretch of the imagination). Meatloaf plays the bus driver and keyboard player and does a good job in the role. Liam Neeson plays the sheriff of the town and sees right through the scam artists but has a hard time convincing the populace. In the end Martin leaves because he can not explain the healing of a crippled teen. He is on a semi out of town when it starts to rain hard. So the town and the crops are saved but is Martin turned to the good???
