Some people just don't get satire, I think... or maybe it hits them a bit too close to home.
This movie rocks. It takes on Big Religion in a way that no other flick has ever had the cajones to do.
If you're not a rigidified True Believer living below the belt, as it were, you'll love this. George Plimpton as god with a tennis racket, dispensing tax advice... totally inspired.
Whatever happened to Jonathan Penner anyway? The only other movie I can think that he was in was Anarchy TV which was similar offbeat, independently-produced satire aimed at religion.
I originally found this movie in a clearance bin under the title "A Fool and His Money." "Religion, Inc." is a better, more descriptive title.
Sandra Bullock makes an early appearance... did she get a nosejob after this role? Anyway... she's okay, but not a key player and not in the flick all that much anyway.
So... If you can find this flick and you have sense of humor that might actually involve thought - pick this baby up.
