In the battle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic of the disgraced televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner.

It's a riot of poor styling, overdone appearance and bad faith, though the lead actress succeeds to show the real-life figure in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, Film4
