Two banished angels (Ben Affleck and Matt Damon) have discovered a loophole that would allow them back into heaven; problem is, they'd destroy civilization in the process by proving God fallible. It's up to Bethany (Linda Fiorentino), a lapsed Catholic who works in an abortion clinic, to save the day, with some help from two so-called prophets (Smith and Jason Mewes, as their perennial characters Jay and Silent Bob), the heretofore unknown 13th apostle (Chris Rock), and a sexy, heavenly muse (the sublime Salma Hayek, who almost single-handedly steals the film). In some ways Dogma is a shaggy dog of a road movie--which hits a comic peak when Affleck and Fiorentino banter drunkenly on a train to New Jersey, not realizing they're mortal enemies--and segues into a comedy-action flick as the vengeful angels (who have a taste for blood) try to make their way into heaven. Smith's cast is exceptional--with Fiorentino lending a sardonic gravity to the proceedings, and Jason Lee smirking evilly as the horned devil Azrael--and the film shuffles good-naturedly to its climax (featuring Alanis Morissette as a beatifically silent God), but it just looks so unrelentingly... subpar. Credit Smith with being a daring writer but a less-than-stellar director. --Mark Englehart

Customer Reviews of Dogma (Special Edition)
sacrilegious and funny I must say that is one of the best movies I've ever seen; it's so sacrilegious and funny that it's impossible not to enjoy it. A must have in your collection.
A collosal waste of time....
I think Jonathan Rosenbaum, film critic for the Chicago Reader, said it the best. This is a film about spirituality aimed at 11 year olds. I found the film extraordinarily simplistic, boring, and obnoxious. The charcters are really annoying, and the performances are quite bad (with Jason Lee coming across the worst as a devil like dude). Affleck and Damon's characters end up being another variation on the know it all, smug, Gen X type who thinks he has all the answers, and enjoys pointing out everyone else's faults. This was supposed to be Smith's "profound" film, but he's way out of his depth here. It's an overly silly movie about religion. I was just offended by the bad acting and filmmaking, not by the content of the film. The Catholic Church who protested this film were fools for doing so. There's nothing worth bothering about here.
YAY!!!
I love this movie! I quote it often in debates which can throwpeople off citing a Kevin Smith film in arguements on abortion ("A woman's body is her own damn business"-Jay) and faith/religion ("It not about what you have faith in, just that you have faith"-Serendipity or Rufus' explaination on why ideas are better than beliefs because you can change an idea, but changing beliefs is much harder. or Bethany notes on what her friend's [pool boy?] said about religion that its like a glass and when you're a child it's easy to fill but as you get older the glass gets bigger and the same amount of liquid doesn't fill it anymore. or what Bethany says about how when you're little you don't question any of [religion], God's up there and she's always watching you!) I could go on and on about how much I love this movie but anyway, I reccommend ths film to anyone and everyone willing to watch it! Even if you don't like it and think it to be some sort of hersey or adbomination to relion all together...I hope it at least makes you think about religion today, and how you feel about your own faith.
