Hot Dogma
We start out with an old man in front of a skeeball location getting the snot beat out of him, then a flash to the story. Evidently two ejected angels sent to Wisconsin for the duration have found a loophole that will allow them to return to Heaven unscathed. Seems that no one from above or below really wants this to happen. So several beings with their own agenda are coercing Bethany Sloane (Linda Fiorentino) to do their dirty work as she unknowingly is the only one qualified.

Will Bethany be able to stop the two angels before it is too late? Or is there a sinister unnamed force helping the fallen angels to succeed?

Some of the actors are just coasting through the movie (probably to pick up some spending cash). But Alan Rickman is excellent as usual and plays the indignant part to the hilt. See him again in "Galaxy Quest" made the same year.

Defiantly designed for certain genre tastes (sort of a cross between Ghost Busters and Monty Python with a little Arthur Miller tossed in.) I personally found it a tad too potty mouthed and over obsessed with sex. Other than that it brings up good primes and a few eternal questions. This is defiantly on of those films that need to be viewed more than once to pick up on the nuances'


Could Have Been Enjoyable But Too Much Swearing
A poke at religion is ok. But a poke at religion where there is constant obscenities is unsettling and detracts from the movie. The Matt Damon character is particularly hard to listen to.

There are plenty of movies that are extremely funny but don't have to lower themselves to the gutter to be so......

Hilarious. Matt and Ben always a pleasure together (non-sexually...)
Matt Damon. Ben Affleck. George Carlin. Chris Rock. Jay and Silent Bob. Now, that should be way, way more than enough to entice anyone to watch this. And trust me, it's really, really a great movie.

Now, naturally being an Atheist, this was all the more funny for me. I was floored (and tickled) to see Carlin as a religious figurehead... it was truly funny- he's about as Atheistic as they come- but not at all surprised to find that he cheated in his golf games by blessing his golf club. That's Carlin for you.

It was nice when it started raining black men. Well, ok, it rained Chris Rock. You gotta love this guy, he's hilarious.

When I think of this movie, I'm reminded of a line by Eminem....

"Take some Big and some 'Pac
And you mix them up in a pot
Sprinkle a lil "Big L" on top
What the **** do you got?
You got the realest and illest killaz
Tied up in a knot
The Juggernaughts of this rap ****
Like it or not..."

That's basically what this movie is. It's not PERFECT, but it's pretty darn funny.

DEFINITELY worth buying.
