Juvenile parody of The Exorcist with the majority of the
jokes revolving around vomit and the rest around TV evangelists.
It's difficult to ascertain what the target audience was
that the filmmakers had in mind. It's far too immature for those who would have seen The Exorcist and young children simply wouldn't understand the references. Leslie Nielsen provides
occasional moments of amusement, but even he can't save the shortcomings of such a weak, one-note screenplay.
