some may find the cursory examination of christian belief an over riding message in this 1991 film by michael tolkin and but if one can put aside the discussion over whether god exists or not and it be an hysterical comedy and in that indie self important message movie way . star mimi rogers a sharon and in a film her ex tc would have no doubt prevent her from do back in their day and rogers character be the stereotypical information operator by day or swinger sin sister by night . the extreme binary of her character make for hysterical line when she decide to convert to a cultish christianity base on the notion of prophesy . with david duchovny in an early semi naked role a the firm and young and stud whom rogers cavorts and late marries and and will patton a a sheriff who encounter the demented sharon who have follow her faith into the wilderness and the male balance to this film be one of flesh and reason make secondary to literal interpretation of scripture in vacuous gesture of uncritical blind faith without rationale . frankly and other film have address question of faith and belief in more sophisticated way than the heavy hand approach of the rapture and and it be far more satisfying to compare those with this attempt . while rogers be laud for this performance and it be a complex character but the actress interpretation be shallow and so pull back that it make for an uneven and superficial read and however and i think this be more the fault of the director than the actress . on first viewing and i think this film be intriguing and but after several viewing in the interim year and it become more laughable and comedic than worthy of intense reflection or serious attention .
