The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The best part of the movie is the beginning, where they're screwing over all the dumb religious rednecks. After that, it just started getting preachy and had to turn it off.
I am going to be writing a review on the film ' Leap Of Faith'. I thought that it was a very inspiring film that taught me a lot about religion. I think that the actors that were picked really suited their parts and the whole feel was very fluent. The things that Jonas talks about really make an impact on you. When you find out that Jonas is a fake, you realise that all his miracles were fakes, but then a young boy has a real miracle and it surprises Jonas a lot. this film really brings you in and makes you want to carry on watching. It makes you feel like you are actually in that miracle tent and you are having a miracle done to you. I really liked how the movie brings you into the story and gives you an idea on every characters personality. I didn't like that sometimes the story line can be very hard to follow. Overall I thought that this movie was very good with few faults. I would give this movie an 8/10.
God works in mysterious ways even trough a con manThis is one of the most faith inspiring films i saw hope you all take a moment to appreciate this and enjoy this one man show, and how god can have a little sense of humor using a con artist slash preacher to bring joy and hope to this townincredible the confrontation between the fake preacher and god himself proves him even with all the mockery and lies he is still used by god to spread his message and gives him a true miracle to prove him rightthis remarkable ensemble of actors is also a must see to love this history and its emotional endingGod is always there could be the message
I am becoming a huge fan of Steve Martin's, after all we have the same birthday ;), no, I'm having fun, but I love his movies. My mom is also a huge fan and has a lot of Steve Martin movies, the next on my list of flicks to watch was Leap of Faith. She said it was an alright film, but it was always worth a watch. So I finally sat down tonite and watched it and over all, I'd say that this was a nice and honest film to watch that can touch anyone's heart.Jonas is a con man going from town to town claiming he is a miracle preacher, Jane, his sidekick, just finds out information about the town and Jonas acts like he knows everything by miracle. Of course he and his team just take the money and run after a couple days. But when Jonas realizes the town's good nature, he starts to feel bad and falls for a waitress with a crippled brother. But things start to happen when the town's faith grows stronger and miracles really do happen.I would recommend Leap of Faith for an afternoon of nothing to do, I think that it is an under rated cute little movie that could make you have a leap of faith for anything. Steve Martin isn't really funny in this film, but I think Leap of Faith actually showed his dramatic talents pretty well, he's awesome.6/10
