12/22/2015 There is a sarcastic center to this sweet and at times funny comedy. Not always what it seems on the surface. See more 02/09/2014 Marty Feldman's last directorial work and although it's a bit uneven it has a fun first act and it's cool seeing Andy Kaufmann as an amoral televangelist and seeing Richard Pryor as God. Without Feldman's affable performance as the monk, Ambrose, this would have sunk easily. See more 02/10/2012 Just like others comedys, In God We Tru$t, is not a really vary good made film, but is a remarkable and funny movie. Fresh. See more 04/21/2010 Marty Feldman did a second film for Universal Pictures, even though his first effort as a director, The Last Remake of Beau Geste (1977), didn't do all THAT well. For his second film, he went to America, mainly to play it safe, and took on the world of religion, and how people in America look at it. It's quite a dark satire on big bucks corporations and how innocence always wins through. It begins with Brother Ambrose (Feldman) is sent from the monastery of English monks, where he was brought up to go out into the world to find $5,000 to stop the monastery from being shut down. He ends up with religious con-man Dr. Sebastian Melmoth (Peter Boyle), and hooker Mary (Louise Lasser). Brother Ambrose is looking for televangelist Armageddon T. Thunderbird (Andy Kaufman), who is said could help the monks. But, Brother Ambrose ends up working for Thunderbird, who is really a corrupt businessman who speaks with G.O.D. (Richard Pryor), who is a computer. It's not as good as Feldman's previous film, but it does have it's moments, and Feldman is a likeable lead in this by the numbers fish-out-of-water story, and there's some physical comedy in it which Feldman was ALWAYS good at. This lacks the bite which it should have had, but it's amusing nontheless. See more 07/29/2009 The always unique and hilarious Marty Feldman writes, directs, and stars in this very funny goofy comedy - and leads a great cast that includes hilarious turns from Peter Boyle, Louise Lasser, and Andy Kaufman through clever slapstick and religious satire. Maybe not for all tastes, but this forgotten gem deserves a cult following. See more Read all reviews
