Dogma

 

Release Year: 1999

Director: Kevin Smith

Review: This is not a film that can be taken too seriously.  Perhaps Smith stepped in over his head delving into religious territory, but at it's core its an enjoyable, funny and extremely off color take on a religious story.  Most of the content is absolutely absurd, and put in context with the subject matter it feels a little out of place.  And yet, taken strictly as a comedy, it works out in the end.  There are definitely a lot of moments that are groan worthy, but in the end the laughs far out weigh the eye rolls, making this a fine addition to Smith's catalog, but far from his best.
Rating: 3/5
