Holyman Undercover (2010)


Clint Howard in an Amish beard. That's the high point.

This one caught me off guard; I saw it for the cast and didn't know I was going to be watching a Christian family values film.  David A.R. White wrote and directed and gave himself two roles in bad disguises that look like one guy in bad disguises.  Fred Willard, Edie McClurg, John Schneider and Clint Howard are in this, and must've been most of the budget; Jennifer Lyons plays "Tiffany Towers" which is unintentionally the funniest thing in the film, if that name means anything to you. It's the story of an Amish man who goes to Hollywood and gets cast as Satan in a TV show (Schneider plays Satan in "real life" in the film). It's meant to be a comedy and has a cast that would be great with the right material, but it pulls all its punches trying to be a Christian film. Nonetheless, there's plenty of drugs and the stereotypes are over-the-top, so it manages to offend both its intended audience and those who want to make fun of it.
