Movie Connections:

Referenced in "Saturday Night Live: Donald Trump/Toots and the Maytals (#29.16)" (2004)

i laughed so hard my sides split.....NOT!!!!!!

Hope and Faith..is by far one of the worst comedies ever made. It's a mish mash of mistaken identity, wrong place wrong time etc.. scenarios. None of which could ever happen in real life. As for the main character "Faith" nobody in reality could be that self centered and shallow. The cast and writers absolutely stink perhaps they would be better suited to taking part in kids puppet shows because thats the height of the talent employed in creating this sordid excuse for comedy.

I can't think of an episode that was even remotely funny. The worst episodes were the ones about the funeral and the court case. The recipe for good comedy is to have talented actors,writers and story lines with some presence in reality. This is something the producers failed to grasp.
