Dogma

"Dogma" is one Kevin Smith's most audacious films, with a storyline that involves religion, faith, angels, and God. It's a road trip movie with two characters who must find their way back to heaven. But when they learn that by doing so, they’ll undo the fabric of existence, they go on an existential quest to verify that God indeed plays dice with the universe.

The cast is quite diverse, featuring performances by Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Selma Hayek, Alan Rickman, Linda Fiorentino, and even a cameo by singer Alanis Morissette as God. The movie is filled with Smith's signature dialogues—fast, intelligent, filled with pop culture references—but it’s the religious themes that truly leave you with something to think about.

There’s still a bit in "Dogma" that doesn't quite work—the story does sometimes flounders in its ambition. Notwithstanding, if you’re a fan of Smith's humor or you’re into philosophy and religion, give this a go. Even if it leaves you with more questions than answers, it’s a fun and sometimes enlightening watch.
