Dogma
Imaginative theology and a bigger-than-usual budget make Kevin Smith's (CHASING AMY, CLERKS) fourth film a kind of post-Catholic fantasy that only a comic-book enthusiast of his caliber could dream up. It concerns banished angels, Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck) who, after a few millennia in Wisconsin, discover a loophole in Catholic doctrine that would allow them back into heaven--but prove the fallibility of God and destroy the universe. As they make their way to New Jersey to receive a plenary indulgence, God dispatches a seraphim (Alan Rickman) to recruit lapsed-Catholic Bethany (Linda Fiorentino) to stop the angels. She finds help in muses, prophets (Jay and Silent Bob, played by Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith respectively), and the forgotten 13th apostle, Rufus (Chris Rock). Before long, all hell breaks loose--literally--and God (Alanis Morrisette) has to put in an appearance of her own. Smith's controversial (and very funny) film is powered by his trademark dialogue, ripe with observations on pop culture, religion, and bodily functions.

A bizarre comedy that is on the side of the angels (the heavenly host, that is). In part an attack on the dumbing down of religious faith, it is also a hodge-podge of cinematic genres and styles, taking in road and chase movies, surreal and comic encount

Too much swearing, violence and weirdness
Its quirky, indulgent and violent in places. Oh and I just hate the continual use of the F-word. Not all of the jokes work and the ending just sinks into ... read more »

Definitely not for the devout !
Wasn't keen on seeing what I thought would be a load of god-bothering nonsense, I couldn't have been more wrong. It's the best laugh I've had in... read more »

Total and utter sh-te
This is quite possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen.
I actually had to watch it through to the end, just to prove this to myself. I mean, ... read more » - 1021717

Kevin Smith and A Brief History of Smut
- 10 Nov 2008
Kevin Smith must be the cleanest filmmaker in America – he’s always in hot water. The convenience store graduate who made Clerks, Dogma and now Zack and Miri Make a Porno has spent so much time with the US censors – the MPAA – they should give him his own office. Or failing that, his own orifice (he’d probably prefer it). The latest dispute involves the threat of the NC-17 rating – which is considered the kiss of death for box office prospects in the US...
