Funny, biblical-esque Kevin Smith movie. If you've seen any of Smith's films, you know that Dogma will be like the rest, funny and absolutely ridiculous! The film follows two fallen angels, Loki and Bartleby, who, through a loophole in Catholic dogma, find a way to get back into Heaven after being cast out by God. However, as existence is founded on the principle that God is infallible, their success would prove God wrong and thus undo all creation. The last scion and two prophets are sent by the Voice of God to stop them. It stars Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorentino, Alan Rickman, Bud Cort, Salma Hayek, Chris Rock and Jason Lee.
There are two categories when it comes to audience members, the ones that will see Dogma, take it apart piece by piece saying it made no sense and it was stupid. Then there is the other side of the coin, the people who know it's stupid and makes no sense but love it anyway BECAUSE of this fact, I belong to this warped and funny side of the coin because this film isn't supposed to be an oscar worthy, heart wrenching, throw some popcorn in the air kind of film. This is 2 hours of enjoyable nonsense with pretty people to look at, and that's fine by me, I'll watch Schindler's List another day!
