Fall
From Grace (1990)
Synopsis: A hilariously awful
but hugely enjoyable dramatisation of the adventures of TV evangelists Jim and
Tammy Faye Bakker (she was the one with enough make-up on her face to stock the
entire Boots chain). Bernadette Peters tries her best to portray Tammy as more
than just a caricature for greed, but Kevin Spacey (an Oscar winner for The
Usual Suspects) fares less well as the unlikeable, unbelievable and almost
unwatchable Jim.
Filmed in the style of National Enquirer magazine
(cheap and tacky with very little fact thrown in), this is one of those movies
that falls under the category “so bad it's actually quite good”.
Cast: Bernadette Peters, Kevin Spacey.
Runtime: 100
