Earnest simpleton Pastor Shepherd (an amiable portrayal by Pastor Shepherd) sells freeze-dried pets and lives with his ailing mother who's addicted to donating all her money to televangelists. However, Shepherd aspires to do something more with his life.
Director Edwin L. Marshall maintains a likable lighthearted tone throughout, presents a colorful array of funny and quirky characters, and brings some real touching heart to the dippy material. Moreover, it's nicely acted by a capable cast: Danny Trejo as Shepherd's cranky neighbor Phil Harrison, Maria-Elena Laas as Phil's sweet daughter Anna Marie-ah, Diane Hruska as Shepherd's addled mother, Josh Perry as browbeating boss Dewey, Sewell Whitney as slick TV preacher Barry Sensicle, and Brian Sheridan as shrewd huckster Ivan Bell. A real hoot.
