DOGMA

1999 ****1/2 128 mins.

I thoroughly enjoyed this hilarious film about two banished angels (Ben Affleck and Matt Damon) who have found a way to get back into Heaven. However, there is one catch. If their plan succeeds, then all of existence will be wiped out! So, the voice of God (Alan Rickman) recruits a woman (Linda Fiorentino) to stop the angels. With the help of the 13th Apostle (Chris Rock) and two prophets named Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith), Bethany (Fiorentino) sets out to acheive her goal. One word of advice: before viewing this film, set aside all of your inhibitions. That way, you can enjoy this film for what it is: wonderful.
Rated R for language, sexual content, and violence.
