I’m a huge Kevin Smith fan but unfortunately this movie wasnt too great. It has some good moments and poignant dialogue, but those are often shattered by Silent Bob and Jay who should never have been written in as major characters. They do nothing but ruin great dialogue with completely inappropriate humour. The movie lost it’s wit and sarcasm with the unhealthy dose of toilet humour. Chris Rock is great as the 13th apostle, and Linda Fiorentino is a great angsty descendant of Jesus. I cannot say that I liked Matt and Ben as the avenging angels simply because their pairing is an unneeded indie film inside joke.

While the film flip flops between toilet humour and much needed religious criticism, it loses its direction…. until the end. Alanis plays god in a fantastic scene that appears to be from the ‘Dogma’ that kevin wanted to make………………. before getting tied down with the obligatory “Jersey Trilogy” references.

I snuck in my digital cam to get some snaps for the net… here they are!
