Kevin Smith's hilarious take on religion!
"Dogma" was the first film by Kevin Smith that I was introduced to, and it quickly made me a fan of him. Basically, the film is about these two fallen angels, who decide to become human because they have found a loophole that will gain them re-enterance into heaven via entering a Catholic church in New Jersey. However, if they do re-enter heaven, they will prove that God is imperfect, thus ending all of existence. Bethany, the last zion, is contacted by the voice of God, because she is the great-great-great (etc.) grand-niece of Jesus Christ himself. Along with two profits, a muse, the voice of God, and an apostle, Bethany travels to New Jersey in order to stop their re-entry, while attempting to avoid Azrael, an ex-muse turned demon who wants to get his revenge on God.

The acting was superb, Kevin's writing was creative and hilarious, and the movie made you think. Several points in the movie reinforce Smith's point that this is a movie about the importance of faith. I love how it took story lines from the Bible and made an original plot and comedy with them. It unearthed common questions. Why can't God be a woman? What happens when you cut off an angel's wings? Add alcohol and a sense of irony to an angel and what are you going to get? If there were really muses what productions of this day and age would they be responsible for? Everyone played their roles very well and it made for a really amusing movie. Kevin Smith is a genius. I highly advise this movie to ANYONE.

yawn fest from beginning to ever increasingly boring end
This movie just isn't funny. Technically it is a comedy, however it does not deserve to be classified as such. Just as reality tv is called reality tv, that doesn't make it real, in fact it is fake. George Carlin and Chris Rock were good but they couldn't hold this one up as atlas held up the world. For one thing, George Carlin had a small cameo in the beginning, but if he were in the entire movie it would have been much better. George Carlin also had a small appearance in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, by you guessed it, Kevin Smith. George Carlin also had a small cameo appearance in Scary Movie 3 which is very funny by the way, and not made by Kevin Smith. The only Kevin Smith flicks worth watching are Jay and Silent Bob and Clerks. Stay away from Dogma and Chasing Amy, actually douse them with gasoline and light them on fire if you get the chance. Then urinate the fire out, and do it again. I've done that before, it can really lift your spirits and make you feel better after seeing a lousy movie.

Some great fun to watch!
This film explores some of the more off beat aspects of Christanity in a funny way. If you want to really upset some of the more shall we say less flexible "Christain" friends and relatives who show up at your home. Then pop this film into the machine and watch the fumes arise. The thing to remember is not to take the film too seriously!
