two thing can happen when an ensemble cast be bring together . either you be leave walk out of the theater ask and why . or you receive manna from heaven and a delightful comedy from the burton sister and whose mother not only provided inspiration but the screenplay itself . ursula burton and play theresa and a nun whose friend and family have always believe she be touch by g d. when money fall from the sky the clan use young theresa faith that the money be gift from the heaven to allow all their dream to come true . year pas and we find theresa return home to her native buffalo . she come to the realization that the gift need to be repay and call together her friend and family and ( academy award winner shirley jones and louise fletcher and cloris leachman ) to return the debt before easter sunday . the money have long since be spend and all the character find themselves in financial difficulty . shirley jones and frank gorshin and be a husband and wife con team that teach the all important lesson in life and of how to dress for winter in buffalo and my personal favorite and they expect you to take the silverware and when visit a restaurant . the audience can only hope that if theresa do reach her goal that that someone would not run off with the money . the movie teach u that it be not money and but ourselves that make our and other dream come true . every action have an outcome not just for you and but the community around you . when look into the mirror we see ourselves a we would like to be and manna from heaven and answer the question of how other can see the image we would most like to reflect . the burton have do a superb job direct the cast to break out of their shell and create new and inventive character . in the day of multi million dollar budget and this low budget indy prove it be not the cash in hand and but true talent that will draw the big laugh . wendie malick ( the american president and just shoot me ) add a special flavor to this already talented cast .
