it came out in the 90's.

it was about some huckster pastor who wore white suits and aviator glasses.
 
i wish i had more.

it was some movie from the late 90's/early 2000 about some scheister televangelist type who would bilk people out of money.
 
even though you said no.. i'm going to assume you don't know shit either and smurfy was right..? That's what your hints point at anyways.

no, this isn't a game. i am seriously trying to figure out which movie it was.

leap of faith had steve martin in it, and it was a comedy.

this one not a comedy, nor did it have steve martin.
 
From The New Yorker
Produced, written, and directed by its star, Robert Duvall, this film addresses without condescension or glibness a subject-religious conviction-that Hollywood generally caricatures. Duvall plays Sonny, a charismatic Pentecostal preacher who dresses in white three-piece suits and has so antagonized his wife (Farrah Fawcett) with his philandering that she's taken up with a younger minister and wrested control of his church. After bashing his rival with a baseball bat, Sonny leaves Texas and shows up in Bayou Boutte, Louisiana, where he rebuilds a church and infuses his mostly black congregants with spiritual ardor before his past catches up with him. Duvall's performance is so passionate, so energized, that it's almost eerie: is Sonny acting him or is he acting Sonny? The supporting players include John Beasley, June Carter Cash, Miranda Richardson, and Billy Bob Thornton. -Daphne Merkin

This thread reminded me of the movie

"My blue heaven"

for some reason. I liked that movie

"Sonny, now self-baptized as "The Apostle E.F.," sets about resurrecting a small Pentecostal church which had fallen into disuse after the retirement of its pastor. With an infectious smile, eternally effervescent personality, and obvious love for the Lord, the "Apostle E.F." soon sets this bayou community on its ear."

No, I know the name - I just thought it was ironic.
