Dogma
The battle in the eternal war between Good and Evil has come to New Jersey in the late, late 20th Century. And it's up to an abortion clinic worker with a special heritage to save the existence of humanity.

A lighthearted, determinedly independent romp.

I couldn't care less whether Smith's metaphysical conceits about the war between Good and Evil are those of a devout believer or an atheist. The bottom line is that they're puerile.

Make no mistake, Kevin Smith's talky, farcical comedy of cosmic errors is clever. But it's clever in a deeply juvenile way.

It's too bad Smith's trademark humor got in the way, because while the film definitely has its flaws, there's no denying that it also had the ability to serve as an intelligent debate about religion.

A very vulgar pro-faith comedy rather than a sacrilegious goof, Dogma is an extraordinarily uneven film that significant cutting might be able to transform into a playable one.

Dogma is more strained than funny.

The true target of the film is not religion but religious dogma ...

Writer-Director Kevin Smith keeps getting better.
March 19, 2002
A fresh premise gradually turns stale, and jokes that start out lively end up pooped.
July 30, 2007
What you hear throughout Dogma, liberally peppered with the usual prankish profanities, is Kevin Smith having a conversation with himself about his faith.
January 26, 2006
Too talky, too fond of in-jokes, too caught up (especially during the dismally weak climax) in its crass comic-strip ethos, and not, finally, as funny, subversive or thought-provoking as it would like to be.
