A priest, a rabbi and a girl named Anna,
By
This review is from: Keeping The Faith (Widescreen) (DVD)
"Keeping the Faith" is Edward Norton's debut as a director and he is does a good job. The story starts out funny. Norton (a priest) sits in a bar telling a story to an Irish/Sikh/muslim/jewish bartender about how he and his best rabii-friend (Stiller) are fighting over a girl. Well, you have to see for yourself, it's funny. Jenna Elfman is so incredibly beautiful and funny in this movie, who wouldn't fall for her!?The end of the film is a little too serious to my taste, even though we could have known that something like this would happen. It gives a little dark edge to an otherwise fun movie.

Such potential...,
By
This review is from: Keeping The Faith (Widescreen) (DVD)
This movie had so much potential. Especially with Edward Norton as the director, a great cast and an interesting and pertinant issue at hand. However, the movie turns into your normal, run of the mill romantic comedy once Jenna Elfman comes on the scene. Watch "You've Got Mail" or "Sleepless in Seattle" for much the same effect.There's a lot of really interesting issues that Norton neglects to explore in this film. Brian Finn, the priest, questions his calling to the priesthood and then writes it off. Elfman's character is totally ignorant of the challenges that come with leading a religious community. Rabbi Schram's (Stiller) relationship with Elfman is weak at best--all they ever do is have sex. Where's the spiritual side that he's craving? These are just some of the problems with the film. There are plenty more. If you're looking for a cheezy romantic commedy, this is the movie for you. If you're looking for someone taking issues of religious difference into the mainstream, read a book.

Fun Romantic Comedy,
By Joseph J. Slevin (Carlsbad, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Keeping The Faith (Widescreen) (DVD)
Okay, so you get an Irish Catholic Priest and a Jewish Rabbi who had a tom-boy friend when they were kids and you have a great idea for a movie.Who thinks of these things anyway?? Stiller and Norton, although not looking like they would be friends, do a great job of acting like it. Their characters come together well, especially after Anna (Jenna Elfman) returns to NY for a career move after being away since she was young girl. The flash back and then forward sequence is excellent. You almost forget where the movie started because there are so many cute twists to the movie. There is also a lesson in the movie, one of love and compromise and you get a sense of the challenges people face when they make life choices as far as career, marriage and family issues. This is a fun movie, good for the DVD library. The language is a little harsh in places, yet, it is an okay film.
