This movie is just plain loco, from first scene to last. It starts off with a thief being chased by the cops. He rips off a homeless dude (who meows for no reason), and this act of cruelty is mistaken for an act of kindness by a blonde bombshell (who appears out of nowhere). The thief pretends to be a preacher, and is invited to the girl's house so he can give her some spiritual guidance. "Are we gonna have s*x?" he asks her. She doesn't seem to hear.

They arrive at the girl's house, which has expensive silverware and a spectacular view of a lake. He steals right in front of her ("What's that jingling noise?" "Oh, that's just the silverware in my pockets."), and frequently insults her. Despite all this, she lets him have s*x with her, and that's when things get really crazy-insane. The girl is shown playing a piano and singing "I'm so in love with your love," while this scene is intercut with various shots of the thief encountering people who look just like the girl (and who, indeed, are played by the same actress, Kai Elle). He eventually falls off a cliff, dies and goes to hell.

I think what makes Preacher Man work so well is the comic timing of its two leads. I love the way the guy plays everything straight, with his eyes slightly buggy, as if he were daring the other actor to question the sanity of each situation. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the girl looks the way she does, with her glowing skin and come-hither smile. If the devil looked like Kai Elle, then you'd have a hard time keeping people out of hell.
