” It’s got religious gags, sex gags, gay gags, youth-culture gags, body function gags and gags to make you gag. What writer/director/co-star Kevin Chasing Amy Smith’s rampagingly funny and irreverent satire didn’t have, when first released, was an audience. The time has come, then, to right this blasphemous wrong. Meet earth-bound bad-boy angels Loki and Bartleby (Matt Damon and Ben Affleck respectively), who have found a loophole in God’s law which will allow them to re-enter heaven. So abortion-clinic worker Linda Fiorentino, muse Salma Hayek and voice of God Alan Rickman are entrusted with the task of stopping them, avoiding killer skate-boarders and shit-demons as they go. US Catholic groups didn’t get the joke, but you certainly will, because, amazingly Smith’s film – one of the first he ever wrote – never stops being funny or inspired for a second. It’s one of the best things on TV this Yuletide. Watch it and you will believe! ”

“Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe may be the cutest young couple in Hollywood, but even they’ve got enemies. Clerks director Kevin Smith refers to Witherspoon as ‘Greasy Reese’ in a column he wrote for the web site Psycomic, explaining that Witherspoon was ‘condescending’ when they met in 1994 and was rude to his then girlfriend. More than six years later, Smith writes, he begged actor Selma Blair for the couple’s home address- ‘What could be better than whipping eggs at the home of a couple of B-listers?’- but she wouldn’t tell him, despite a half-hour of pleading.”
