Summary: Surprisingly good!
Review: Jenna Elfman is absolutely adorable in this film! Not being a fan of hers, I watched with skepticism but was completely won over within the first 20 minutes. She is superbly cast as the gregarious career-minded woman in this anticipation-wrought love triangle. Strangely enough, you really wish that both guys could win this one. Ed Norton is brilliant as the Catholic priest rethinking his vows as he considers his love for Elfman. For anyone wondering what it must be like to be celibate and strongly tempted - this must be it. As always, Ben Stiller is wonderfully sweet and funny. This is a beautiful, witty love story and a great date flick. I highly recommend - it's good, clean fun. The end is satisfying, but perhaps they SHOULD all just be friends!

Summary: Movie was great, but cut scene was better
Review: I will say that I loved this movie. Keeping the faith was fresh and funny, however I don't think I would have loved it half as much if I hadn't gotten the DVD version with the opportunity to see the deleted scenes. I think that in some DVD's the scenes that you get are kind of a let down, but sometimes there are some scenes where you just ask yourself, why didn't they leave it in! The deleted scenes that you will find in keeping the faith are just that, scenes that are hilarious (most of them) and the scene with the cell phone is a pay off for something that was set up in the middle of the movie and then never followed through on with the release version of the film. If you watch this movie for the first time, get it on DVD and watch the deleted scenes,(but wait until you have already watched the whole film, it's even funnier when you know the setups for the scenes) You'll laugh until you have to wet nap the appolstery at Jenna Elfmann's facial expressions in the cell phone scene.

Summary: Unfaithful...????
Review: I watched this DVD yesterday...I must admit. I was expecting alot more comedy than was delivered. The movies started out very funny. I was laughing...however, it became way too serious and focused too heavily on lust more than love. The character of Anna, in my opinion was more of a qsuado-seductress than a loveable tomboyish best friend all grown up and both the Priest and the Rabbi fall for her. It is more Seduction than falling in love. I don't know. I liked the movie. But I can't say It is something somethat I would watch over and over again..... Still worth 4 stars......Excellent directorial debut by Norton...

Summary: Not a Video to See Repeatedly
Review: Being the movie illiterate that I am (and proud of it), movies like this reinforce my mindset to remain one. The media tend to represent clergy as either morons or with-it guys. Here is perfect example. Two young clergy, shake up the faith with more worship style like David Letterman. Believers of all faiths resent having their sacredness made light of in this way. Clergy speak for God, not to entertain. Funny parts are in this film however. Really enjoyed the young Jewish boy reciting Gen.1:1 with the changing voice. That was good. Friendships are important. But what of the faith of these three, especially the two lovers who are (as typical Hollywood does) leaves nothing to the imagination or privacy of two adults with their intimacy. Doesn't speak much of their faith from Old or New Testaments about remaining pure for one's husband or wife. Would not view this one again. There are videos that are watched over and over. Can't get enough of them. This doesn't come close to being in that category. Something like Chariots of Fire depicts the true nature of Christianity without stooping to such low, comic treatment as this one.

Summary: The Priest, Rabbi and a Loveable blonde= Faith Kept
Review: A wonderful movie about three friends who were best buds in Jr. High only to have one of them move away. Then to reappear when they are all in their adult years. I will not go into much detail over the movie, since you can read it as listed above, what I will state however was that I thouroughly enjoyed this movie. The casting was excellent, Ben Stiller was a riot, and was not to over the top in this movie. Jenna Elfman was lovable as ever, and Edward Norton rounded at the cast brilliantly. The DVD version of the movie was great with the extra's provided. I think this where the movie really shines. Some of the deleted scene's were such a riot, I could not believe they left them out of the movie (Cell phone scene!) 5 stars to extras, I have yet to watch the commentary due to lack of time. The sound and picture quality were what to be expected on DVD. In all a worthy DVD to purchase if you like a romantic comedy. I would have purchased this movie, just for the deleted scenes, but the movie itself was so good too. I highly recommend.

Summary: NORTON RULES !!
Review: Edward Norton has come to stay in the movie business. Here, he's directing for the first time. The movie flows like a hand in a velvet glove: it's smooth, nice, funny, touching. The only flaw is Elfmann. She's totally miscast here, with a bad performance. Other than this, the movie is memorable.

Summary: Molodramatic, mopey dopey.
Review: Another romantic comedy, staring Ben Stiller star of Mystery Men, Directed and co.-starring Edward Norton, and the love of both of their lives Jenna Elfman, of TV's Dharma & Gregg. Probably one of the funniest romantic comedies, great chemistry between everyone and a generally witty screenplay. Ben Stiller is a Rabbi, Edward Norton is a priest, and Jenna Elfman is a workaholic, long time friend of both of them. Ben and Edward have not seen Jenna in over 10 years and don't realize that she will be completely different. She is not a tough tom boy anymore, she is a grown up women. Finally they meet, and eventually they both figure out that they are in love with her, it just takes to much of the movie to find that out, and that is what is depressing. It does have a wildly funny, witty script, great chemistry, and good performances, but towards the end turns to Melodramatic, dopey and dumb. It can be funny, it can be cute, and it can be enjoyable, but some things can't save films, such as the fact that I believe that Jenna Elfman ends up with the wrong guy, and it is shocking to think that just that can ruin a movie, but it did, I have no interest in seeing it again because she ended up with the wrong guy. A complicated, mopey, dopey, melodramatic Jerry Springer sort of movie,, just you average love triangle film.
