This was a brilliant film, not necessarily understood by everyone. The premise of a religion being marketed like a bar of soap has limitless metaphoric possibilities, and this film takes advantage. The occasional spotty acting and low budget appearance is more than made up by the wonderful writing. George Plimpton was a pleasant surprise as "God" (or at least the main character's idea of Him). I believe this was Sandra Bullock's first film, and I can see why she became a huge star. She is attention-grabbing when on screen. Jerzy Kosinski, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author gives a startling performance as a beggar, and Jonathan Penner as "Morris" is definitely believable.
