Deep-Fried Faith: Elmer P. Goes to Washington

Elmer P. Beauregard is a loud, lovable, deep-fried redneck from Possum Hollow, Tennessee. He loves Jesus, barbecue, and saying whatever pops into his head - usually at maximum volume. When he wins a national essay contest with a napkin scribbled at Cracker Barrel, he's invited to Washington D.C. to deliver the keynote speech at a major patriotic rally on the National Mall. Suddenly, this camo-wearing, hot-sauce-carrying, Bible-quoting good ol' boy is headed to the nation's capital with his sharp-tongued 11-year-old niece Ellie "Copper" Penny and his pet raccoon Rambo (who believes he's a sophisticated English gentleman trapped in a furry bandit's body). What follows is a hilarious cross-country adventure full of airport chaos, culture shock, unexpected divine appointments, and one very nervous raccoon. As Elmer prepares to speak in front of politicians, media, and thousands of people, he must decide whether to water down his message to sound "respectable"... or stand up and tell the truth in his own deep-fried way. Filled with laugh-out-loud moments, heartfelt faith, Southern charm, and the kind of wholesome chaos only Elmer P. Beauregard can create, this Christian comedy proves that God doesn't call the qualified - He qualifies the called... even if they show up wearing fishing boots and carrying three kinds of hot sauce. Sometimes the most powerful voice in the room is the one that refuses to sound like everyone else.
