Surprising good!
I had low expectations when I first sat down to watch this film on my vcr. I knew it was a comedy and not much else, so I thought I was just in for some light fun and nothing else.

Boy was I wrong! This movie is chock full of intellectual humor, which resonates even more if you (like me) grew up going to a Catholic school.

Better than the Television version on Comedy Central!
I loved watching the version on Comedy Central. BUt I had to get the video version and I did real cheap. I am ticked off at Kevin Smith because he badmouths Linda Fiorentino who played Bethany Sloane. If you ask me, I think he wanted to get into her knickers anyway. I bought the film version and I have to say it's still one of my favorite films. I think it could have been better but it's still wonderful. I love Alan Rickman and Linda Fiorentino. I can't imagine the film without Linda. She is the best actress around. Using Janeane Garofalo would have been mistake since it would have been a completely different film after all.

Smith's 4th outhing
For a movie that features a rubber poop monster, Dogma received a whole lot of serious criticism for what was perceived by some (religious groups in particular) to be an attack on Christianity. It is, admittedly, taking some shots at the Catholic Church but the final message of the movie in no way diminishes Christianity.

Enough for the serious stuff lets talk turkey... Dogma is a comedy from director Kevin Smith, the fourth of his "Jersey" stories, and everything just clicks perfectly together. Smith, and his favorite actors, have all matured nicely over the previous 3 films and, despite being cast in mostly different roles, are totally at ease with themselves and their respective roles; even Jason Mewes never seems to miss a beat in his reoccurring Smith part "Jay," and the underrated Jason Lee is exquisite as the demon Azrael.

Joining Smith's usual stable of friends and actors are some well know, and very talented, names such as Alan Rickman, Linda Fiorentino, Salma Hayek, Chris Rock, and Matt Damon (Damon and Affleck as the angles Loki and Bartleby have all the best lines). This great cast along with Smith's well balanced script keeps the film light, funny, and well thought-out when it could have easily turned into a stodgy, soap-box style dissertation on organized Religion.
