This is a (slapstick) Christian comedy set primarily in Los Angeles and an unidentified Amish community. David A. R. White is a Christian filmmaker who I believe grew up the son of a minister in an independent Mennonite congregation in Kansas with Kleine Gemeinde Mennonite roots. He attended Moody Bible Institute for a time but went to Hollywood to make his fortune. He is the co-founder of Pure Flix Entertainment.
Roy Weichbrodt (English: Soft Bread); David A. R. White)) is a naïve Amish boy ready for his "Rumm Springa" days away from the Amish. He wants to be a missionary to Hollywood, and to find his uncle Brian (also David A. R. White), who has been in Rumm Springa for 20 years. When he arrives he learns that Brian is deeply involved in Hollywood, but considers himself to be an undercover holy man, even though his lifestyle reflects otherwise.
Brian introduces Roy to some movie people, and by happenstance Roy disarms a robber that is threatening the producer, Anne (Andrea Logan White). Roy ends up in a TV series starring him as Satan along with a sexy, over-the-top co-star, Tiffany Towers (Jennifer Lyons). Anne and Roy and attracted to each other, but to increase publicity for the show, Roy and Tiffany pose as a couple and go to nightclubs and such. One night Roy finally gets drunk and goes back to Tiffany's, but is too drunk to perform.
Eventually Anne fires Roy and he ends up selling hot dogs on the street, dressed up as a hot dog. He rediscovers his core Christian values and begins to witness his faith again. Roy and Anne reconcile, get married, and launch an Amish reality TV show.
This is one bizarre movie. It tries to be funny, but seems to offend many evangelical Christians who are a target audience. The humor is very broad, but still manages to be borderline offensive. Its portrayal of the Amish has no connection to reality and stereotypes them as fiddle-playing bumpkins. There is also one scene that seems to stereotype Hispanics as well.
