Movie Review
          Dogma
of 5

Many years ago, two angels are banished from heaven forever for disobeying God's plan. In 1999, they discover a loophole that will allow them to get back into heaven. This sets them on a trip from Wisconsin to New Jersey. One problem: this same loophole will also destroy creation. So they are pursued by forces from both Heavenv and Hell to stop them.

Dogma has a lot to offer. Crude humor, poetic justice and religious criticism are just a few of them. Despite protesters at the tickets lines of this film, it never really slays the Catholic Church, but Dogma does shake it's finger at religion and says, "Isn't it time we straightened some things out."

There is a terrific cast here that also features cameos from Janeane Garafalo and singer, Alanis Morrisette, who plays God. The film does get a bit caught up in itself with some over cooked monologues, but it also does a good job of sitting on the fence between being an over intelligent satire and a down 'n dirty comedy.

Directed by Kevin Smith.

Special Edition DVD features 100 minutes of deleted scenes!
