Synopsis

Imaginative theology and a bigger-than-usual budget make Dogma--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. Dogma concerns fallen 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. The only problem is that their finding would 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 seraph (Alan Rickman) to recruit lapsed Catholic Bethany (Linda Fiorentino), who attempts to stop the angels. She finds help in two prophets, Jay and Silent Bob (played by Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith respectively), and the forgotten 13th apostle, Rufus (Chris Rock). Before long though, 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 and is ripe with observations on pop culture, religion, and bodily functions.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS FILM ROCKS!, 2 Feb 2008
This film is absolutely sensational! I loved it...a thought provoking, extremely witty and laugh out loud film where Alan Rickman's natural sarcasm fits perfectly! So glad it's available on DVD. Highly recommended if you're sitting on the fence with regards religion - in that it'll either send you one way or t'other! Thanks Kevin Smith!

5.0 out of 5 stars Will watch it again and again :-), 3 Sep 2008
By Diziet "I Like Toast" (Maidenhead, UK) - See all my reviews
I really love this film and have watched it over and over.

Kevin Smith's films are, on the face of it, pretty silly. The humour often appears rather of the 'toilet' variety. But then, he'll just slip in a little barb and I think, well, maybe there is something to this, after all. He does it with this film, right from the start, with an apology to all Duck Billed Platypus lovers. Ten minutes later, there's Alan Rickman, sporting a fine pair of wings, claiming to be The Metatron (i.e. Voice of God) and complaining bitterly to Linda Fiorentino who has just doused him with a fire extinguisher.

What I didn't realise the first time I watched this film is just who all the actors are. Linda Fiorentino plays an abortion clinic doctor who turns out to be the 'Last Scion' (i.e. last living blood relative to Christ), Salma Hayek plays a 'muse' (and a pole dancer). Bud Cort is in it! (Who on earth is Bud Cort? Well, he's the guy who plays the lead role in the 'cult classic' Harold & Maude). And George Carlin plays a Catholic bishop introducing the church's latest attempt at recruitment, the 'buddy Christ' (so who's George Carlin? Well, he was the hitch-hiker in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, plus he's well-known for his black humour. Do a search on YouTube - you'll find loads).

So, what Kevin Smith manages to do in this film, apart from make a very funny film, is make several political points, satirise a few 'Hollywood Blockbusters' and create a wonderful ensemble performance from a lot of very talented people.

The DVD is distributed by Film 4, has 24 minutes of extra bits and pieces, has a 5.1 Dolby soundtrack, subtitles and stuff and is widescreen (2.35:1).

Lovely film - have watched it over and over and will watch it again and again :-)

3.0 out of 5 stars Star struck with the Hollywood stars, 1 Dec 2008
By Brendan O. Clarke "brendoclarke" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Kevin Smith seems to be a little star-struck with the army of famous faces he has to direct on this movie. If you like Kevin Smith movies, you'll recognise his style throughout this one: non-stop cursing, complex silly dialogue, extreme irreverence, it's all there.

There is a plot in this movie. It's a funny idea. But it doesn't really go anywhere. It really bogs down in the middle section, before pulling out a good ending, one in which Smith goes all the way with his premise. But don't expect any deep religious philosophy from this. We're talking about Kevin Smith here.

Some funny moments. Jay & Silent Bob are great as usual. So is Alan Rickman. Affleck and Damon play fallen angels like College students, which some might find grating. Jason Lee and Salma Hayek are wasted. Linda Fiorentino is very beautiful.

6/10
