Two escaped convicts on the run (Robert De Niro and Sean Penn) try to outsmart the law by masquerading as priests. Their goal is to find a way into Canada before they are discovered.

[DVD Details]
  • There's something funny about those two new priests. In fact, there's something downright hilarious. Because Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn aren't clergymen at all. They're escaped cons whose only prayer is to pass themselves off as men of the cloth…and pass right by a police blockade at the border and into the safety of Canada. Demi Moore joins DeNiro and Penn in the clever romp scripted by David Mamet. The cons are loose and the comedy is on. It'll be a sin to miss it!

    This, one of the most disappointing films of the 1980s, was a dud upon its release and has not held up well at all.

    Boring fish out of water story. No laugh out loud moments.

    Falls short of its potential, but a fun lark nonetheless.
