MCT:June 26, 2008Steve Martin plays a faux preacher who preaches the word of god across the country while keeping the donations given by the people.
Also stars Debra Winger, Liam Neeson and Meat Loaf. -

I love Steve Martin but for some reason or another I never got around to seeing this until now. Slow story, however good performance by Martin who serves up a heap of preachin, gettin "Jesus on the Mainline" and sayn, never put your trust and faith in any MAN. This was enjoyable but had potential to be even better with a little better script.

Steve Martin gives on of his best performances as "Jonas Nightingale," a con-artist who, along with his crew, pretends to be a travelling Evangelist preacher/faith healer who comes to small Texas town and finds more than he bargained for. On the surface of this comedy/drama it is a satire of Evangelist preachers/faith healers, which it successfully gets both the look and feel of the sermons exactly right, but underneath it all there is so much more to it, as it is a story of redemption and salvation. The supporting cast all do a great job (Debra Winger is terrific but unfortunately Liam Neeson struggles a bit with his Texan accent), it is well direction and the last half is surprisingly touching. It isn't a perfect film and it does have its flaws but they didn't bother me too much, without a doubt this Steve Martin's most underrated films and I recommend it to everyone.

Great film with Steve Martin as a two-bit con-artist making a living as a preacher with traveling ministry. But when a disabled teen with an attractive older sister enters his life, he is forced to examine his own beliefs.

Martins first dramatic role and he is very good. Liam Neeson is good here also. Take a leap of faith and watch this one.

What causes one person to believe and another one not to? See this movie and understand what can cause someone to take that leap...

.Steve Martin as a phony faith healer Sold as a comedy, it is a truly moving film about faith and healing. Probably the best thing Martin has done.

I saw this on Christmas several years ago, and there were no other viewers in the theater except Rose and me, which may have made the movie seem less good. Steve Martin as a phony faith healer, and Liam Neeson as a Southern sheriff, which didn't work.

Leap of Faith is a largely unknown and totally underrated gem. Sold as a comedy, it is a truly moving film about faith and healing.

Evangalist Preacher bluffs his way through shows - the very thought - until one day a miracle occurrs....
Great cast, nice script not overburdened with laughs but none the less enjoyable yarn.
Well worth a viewing if only to see Debra Winger. -

Seen this so long ago and I remember going whoa its not your average Steve Martin part, but at the same time really enjoyed it

Amazing turn as a charismatic preacher who dispenses miracles for a fee, and is changed by a real miraculous encounter under his own tent. Masterful dramatic work.
