"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Leap of Faith | 1992 | PG-13 | - 2.0.4
Steve Martin is a fake faith healer preying on the praying faithful by being part circus clown and part hi-tech sleuth. When he gets stuck in a dried-up Kansas hamlet, he puts on a good show until a real miracle occurs.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Comments insinuating sexual relationships ("she wants me" and "you need a man") and wanting sex. One scene where a man is shown in a towel, bare-chested, and a woman is shown in a pajama top, after presumably having had sex. One romantic kiss.
VIOLENCE/GORE 0 - None.
LANGUAGE 4 - Lots of scatological references and some references to male genitalia. Sexually explicit hand gestures.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Religion and faith vs. fake prophets, the possibility of actual miracles, greed, pre-marital sex, redemption.
MESSAGE - God works in mysterious ways, and He, probably, does exist. Faith shall be rewarded.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Heretic - 3.6.3
Conclave - 1.2.2
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever - 1.3.2
Memoir of a Snail - 6.6.4
