-
- Just saw _Leap of Faith_ the new Steve Martin movie, enjoyed it very
- much and would recommend it to folks. I don't think I'm spoiling any
- thing by stating that Steve plays a con man, and his handle is playing
- the tent revival meetings. The gags he uses are straight out of the
- books the "Amazing Randi" writes about the various frauds used in cons.
-
- This is not a straight out comedy. But if you like some of Steve's works
- and like a movie that is a "little different", go and see this movie.
- I need to go back and look at the credits to see who wrote this, cause
- he/she deserves an Oscar nomination for the screenplay. If anyone
- else has seen this, I would love to discuss it.
