In God We Tru$t (1980) aka In God We Trust

A satire about televangelists.The plot is not very tight, but is filled with profanity (ouch!) inventive jokes - and good ones about religion. The cast is put to REALLY good use.I don't know that many comedies that freely comment on society, apart from John Water's. So many American comedies begin nicely - that is to say badly - , but as soon as a plot kicks in, it all goes back to the good ol' family values. Like "Bad Santa", or more recently "Bad Words"; etc. But this one was shot in the very early 80s, before the return to order which would be initiated by the (REAGAN!) right wing, and completed with the "left wing" politically correct police of speech. Yep, in those days you could find jokes about incest in family comedies like "vacation", whose rank in rotten tomatoes can only be explained by nostalgy - from people who haven't watched it again since the days, and would ban it if it came out nowadays. Well, it's not funny anyway.But this one makes good use of the after effect of the subversive cultural movements of earlier years, which for a short period allowed some freedom of speech in Hollywood, as long as it brought money in the bank.This really should be a cult movie.

Splendid film by Marty Feldman. Original and entertaining with some very funny moments.

A very funny film starring a very funny man

Very nice thanx

Recently read new autobiography of Marty Feldman, so now exploring his back catalogue. This film is hysterically funny - especially if you're a Christian! Loved the way he poked fun at US tele-evangelism and its basic greedy prosperity gospel nonsense. And Richard Pryor as God/Computer programme is priceless!

Yes in goood weee trust .-)

Absolutely hilarious!! Marty Feldman was a comic genius and this film proves it!! As Brother Ambrose, virginal and innocent, he is let loose upon New York with super funny results. Buy it!!

Funny movie sadly no subtitles
