Has anyone seen this film ?


I thought Jim Bakker was a really hard part to play well, the first scene in the church, could have so easily have gone wrong, and just seemed like terrible acting, but it felt so real.

I saw this on broadcast and I think it is the first thing I've ever seen Spacy do.

I'd like to see it again.

The best part of the movie is when "Tammy Faye" (Bernadette Peters) sings 'Mercy'.

Somebody has posted the movie on Youtube.. Kevin Spacey was ok, but I wasn't buying Bernadette Peters as Tammy. I actually like Bernadette Peters, but when playing such a unique person that's so famous, the performance almost requires 30% "impersonation", but it felt like Peters was basically just playing herself in a wig.

They could've made it more campier, but it's very real.

Dammit Carol Sue, where is the vodka?!
