I love this film. I first saw it in a lecture at college on how not to do church! Jonas Nightingale (Steve Martin) is hideously ruthless when it comes to making money out of people's misfortunes. However, when the greatest of scammers is seemingly outscammed it makes him pause for thought. A brilliant soundtrack and a thoroughly heartwarming film.

Steve Martin far too often represents the Lowest Common Denomintor for me as far as American humour is concerned. Tedious plots, interlinked with obvious one-liners and shallow humour. About as much enjoyment as kissing your sister ( and I mean the older, ugly one ). For years I had been raving about "Leap Of Faith" - a movie which seems to have been largely overlooked by most people - to anyone and everyone who cared to listen to me. I recently bit the bullet and bought myself a copy (via amazon, of course). It was just as good as I had remembered it. If, like me, you have a deep suspicion and a pronounced disgust about the true (commercial) motives behind many of these so-called charasmatic religious groups, this is the movie for you. Besides a bravura performance from Steve Martin himself, other value-added items are Debra Winger, looking sweet and winsome in some rather sexy short skirts, a firm and reliable sheriff in Liam Neeson and a smallish supporting role from future Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman. Oh, and by the way, the music is great too. If you are intrigued by the sub-title of the movie "Real Miracles. Reasonably Priced", then get to see it. It's a highly amusing and deeply cynical look at the business of pop religion and the ends that people will go to, to dupe the gullable masses, without a single whiff of a guilty conscience. Worthy of the price and of a regular re-look from time to time.

Steve Martin is someone I find is a bit hit or miss, usually more miss (e.g. Pink Panther). Yet, ever since I saw him years ago in an unexpectedly funny/good film; "The Man With Two Brains", a 4 star movie, he's someone I've wanted to find funny more than he actually is. (Can't explain why, must be some sort of psychological 'imprinting' going on!)

Anyhow, in this flick, Steve Martin departs from his typical 'idiot' roles. And he delves into the darker side of his character in a clever and very adept way and delivers a strong and very worthy performance as a quick talking, street smart hustler who sees religion as a nifty business to scam and get-rich-quick from. As he says; "if God exists, why did he make so many suckers?"

He plays 'Jonas Nightengale' a shallow, self-interested, self-obsessed and self-appointed 'minister'. 'What is my next conquest, who's holding my next buck' seems to be his motto. And yet, he's not so displeasing as you don't care for him, you learn bit by bit in subtle ways about things that made him the way he his and even though he displays narcissistic traits, you can't help but feel some sympathy for him. In this film Martin brims with confidence and charisma and it seems the territory has been made just for him, (and as a foot note to his agent, he should make more movies like this).

His primary and perfect foil is played by Debra Winger, his beautiful and equally cunning assistant; her character is a strong, smart, and sassy, and in essence she's the 'power behind the throne'. She also has a back-story which never truly gets developed but it's her passion for what she does that makes Jonas' success all the more believable.

I enjoyed this DVD very much. Even though man is a manipulator and puts himself at the centre of the Universe God can still step in! Steve Martin was amazing (even though I am not a no. 1 fan of his). It is worth watching and sadly seeing the scams that take place but in the midst of all this God is VERY real. So though hilarious in parts it was a tear jerker in other parts. It caused me to have a greater sense of Christ's enabling even when obstacles are present.

If you haven't seen Leap of Faith, Go-get!!! Steve Martin is as usual talented, funny, convincing and a brilliant fraudster! He heads up a travelling "Faith Healing" team who visit god-forsaken American communities, performing miracles and healing the sick..............anymore and I would spoil the development of the story!! In true American style, we are left with a moral!

All thats needed from the viewer is a sense of humour!!

This film started out a parody on American "faith" preachers/evangelists, however it becomes more than that! Meat Loaf's inspired songs and the Gospel choir realy make the film for me, together with the ending. Watch it and see.

I'm a huge Steve Martin fan and so was never going to be disappointed by this film. It's great and has the advantage of having Meatloaf in it too. The story line is believable and Steve Martin hams it up no end. Love it!!!

Great movie - I saw this many years ago and the DVD version I just ordered and received is to replace a defective VHS recording. I think Steve Martin is a very skilled comedian and a pretty decent actor too. This is one of his best and most perceptive films I think. I know many people rate "The Man With Two Brains" as his best movie, my view is that whilst its surreal humour was very good, this is better and more "relevant". Another of his film outings I think is very good is "Housesitter", with the equally zany Goldie Hawn - worth a repeat viewing too.
