Rating: Summary: Dogma is total Garbage. Review: It's amazing how so many people think Smith is funny and creative, when the fact is his work is offensive, garbage,insulting, and just plain mean. This movie and book script was the worst of all. Put two charecters in a story saying enough four letter words and it's enough to make you very sick. The only thing I can say about this book and the movie maker is that a mature person can look at it with the same sort of contempt that you would look at a man who stole money from low income job holders. It's that repulsive.
Rating: Summary: If you liked the movie.... Review: ... you'll like the screenplay. If you haven't seen the movie, you'll probably still really like the book.For fans of dogma, the best part of this book is the little bits of dialogue that were cut from the movie, but are still in the screenplay. I've found that this actually makes the movie just a bit better, as it allows you to get just a bit more insight into the characters and plot. It's also nice to be able to catch the couple of bits of dialogue that you may not have been able to catch 100% of in the movie. If you haven't seen the movie, watch it as soon as you finish the book. But on the plus side, the book is a laugh out loud funny read, with a great plot, characters you actually care about, and a message worth thinking about.
Rating: Summary: Dogma and God ROCKS! Review: As it is described, "Dogma is a comedic update to the world's bestselling book, the Bible!" It's an amazing story, and the aforementioned script is wonderful, because it is well paced, interesting, and funny.In the story, two renegrade angels (Matt & Ben) are banished by God (ALANIS!) to Wisconsin. They find a loophole that would erase their sins and get them back into Heaven. HOWEVER, that would cause the end of existance! So, Metatron (Alan Rickman) contacts the last Scion Bethany (Linda Fiorentino) and with help of the 13th apostle Rufus (Chris Rock) and the Muse Serendipity (Salma Hayek) they must stop these angels (and Jay and Silent Bob are there to help, of course!) The story is hilarious and the movie which will come out in the fall will be superb. Alanis is shooting in Pittsburg as God, and Kevin and everyone loves her!
Rating: Summary: A Terrific Script! Review: At the moment, "Dogma" happens to be my favorite Kevin Smith movie. It's got comedy, action, adventure, and it even makes you think at times too. Is it controversial? Yes, but I think mainly because it is so misunderstood and that too many people take the movie way too seriously. I think Smith said it best when he said that it is ridiculous to get so heated over a movie with a rubber poop-monster in it. Nonetheless, I think it's a brilliant movie with a very smart and creative script. Which is why I was happy to get my hands on "Dogma: a Screenplay." Now, you can relive the movie over and over again without being anywhere near a DVD or VHS player! "Dogma: a Screenplay" is 149 pages of hilarity and more. The story is primarily about two banished angels who find a loophole on how to get back to Heaven. Only problem is that if they do this, they will prove that God was wrong and that everything that exists will come undone. Now, it is up to an abortion clinic counselor who is low on faith and her band of "unlikely heroes" to stop them before they undo history and destroy the universe. Kevin Smith is dead-on when it comes to dialogue structure, and you can tell that's what he does best. He gives his characters life and authenticity, and gives you a reason to either care for or despise them. Smith allows the story to unfold through his characters with ease and comfort. As soon as you read the first few sentences, you're hooked. You'll want to keep reading until it's done... and then you'll want to read it again! "Dogma" is indeed my favorite Kevin Smith flick at the moment. I think it has all of the right ingredients and doesn't miss any opportunities to entertain and amaze us. Will the film (script) upset people. Yes, most likely. Especially those who are religiously sensitive. Then again, think back to what Kevin Smith said about how pointless it is to allow a movie to get you so upset (especially one with a friggen' rubber poop-monster!). I recommend "Dogma: a Screenplay" to anybody who is a fan of Smith's, or who just loves a great script with outstanding dialogue and characters.

Rating: Summary: I have read the script and it was awesome Review: best storie by k smith yet
Rating: Summary: DOGMA was great! Review: Except it was a bit stupid to see that singer Alanis Morisette in the part of God at the end. She can't act! Otherwise it was a great film, and a great novel.
Rating: Summary: It's Obvious Everyone's Talking About the Script!!!!!! Review: HELLO!!! All you people giving flack to the nice Kevin Smith fans who gave a review on DOGMA, LEAVE THEM ALONE!!! They're talking about the script, which is accessible on the internet, and they're writing their reviews for the script here on Amazon.com! DUH!! Don't be so inconsiderate! These people know the novel version isn't out yet! What else could they be talking about except for the script! I haven't yet read it, but if it's Kevin Smith I'm sure it's cool. Be nice, folks.
Rating: Summary: This was a great script to read Review: I found a boot-legged copy of this script and I read it. I found it to be one of the funnier one's I've read. In this soon to be movie, there is more dialoge from Jason Mewes (Jay) and scenes with Silent Bob (Smith). Kevin Smith wrote a great story in this one, I'd suggest reading it and even seeing the flick when it comes to the movies
Rating: Summary: Hilarious, Kevin Smith's Best Yet! Review: I found a copy of this over the internet and thought it was Kevin Smith's best writing ever! More Jay and Silent Bob, More laughs, and hey Ben Affleck and Matt Damon play two renegade angels-Can you get any better then that! Buy the Book and See The Movie!
