Keeping the Faith

Pros: The movie flows naturally towards religious comedy yet never loses respect for religion.

Cons: not a one in my book

The Bottom Line: This is a comedy/drama that respects religion while treating one to laughter in a warm way.

Review: The title of this review are the words at the ending of this cute entertaining movie. The late Robin Norton was Edward Norton's mother. Keeping The Faith is the first movie Ed ever directed and produced. He did a fine job. His mother would be...

Pros: Great Cast

Cons: Ben Stiller not leading man material

Review: Keeping the Faith, directed by Ed Norton, is a great movie about three best friends from childhood who hook up later in life and test the religious beliefs of the three involved.

CAST:
Ben Stiller - Plays Rabbi Jake Schram, the sect's...

Pros: Hilariously funny, without a hint of gratuitous stereotypes in that unfunny way we hate

Cons: Perhaps too lighthearted for more cynical comedy viewers... for shame, cynics!

The Bottom Line: If you are a fan of religious controversy or are looking for a love triangle that beats Titanic to the floor, then this movie's a godsend.

Review: I've never been one to enjoy movies that promote controversy among religions, and Keeping the Faith did indeed have that. But you know what? The ethical questions that were raised, and the way the religious theme was packaged in with aspects of love and...

Pros: laugh-out-loud funny; great characters played by a great cast; light-hearted love story; humorous in a variety of ways

Cons: a tad slow towards the end

Review: Okay, so a priest and a rabbi make me laugh in this movie preview, and I decide to go see it in the theater... Thankfully, the punchlines in Keeping the Faith far exceed my pathetic attempt at a priest/rabbi joke.

The film as a...

Pros: Good script and very funny

Cons: Somewhat typical story

Review: Keeping The Faith was a delightful movie. It was funny, touching and very well acted. I went into the film not expecting too much and I was pleasantly surprised. Stiller, Norton and Elfman were all excellent. Norton also puts in a great performance as...

Pros: Acting, camera close-ups, strong moments

Cons: None that would prevent me from watching it again!

Review: This was a great movie! I'll get the cast out of the way first. The more I see Ben Stiller, the more I like him. He played Rabbi Jake Schram. Edward Norton was superb as the priest, Father Brian Finn. He did unbelievably well, since he produced,...

Pros: Unique, funny, good acting

Cons: Almost trivializes religion

The Bottom Line: Don't miss this movie! It is not sappy or preachy, just good old funny!

Review: My parents rented Keeping the Faith, and because I had nothing better to do, I sat and watched it with them. I was bored out of my mind and I thought that this movie would be a totally boring movie. I was picturing a sappy "chick flick" type of...

Pros: Feel-good movie

Cons: May be too predictable for some

Review: KEEPING THE FAITH is a keeper for those who love and I mean, LOVE movies. It is a feel-good film for generations to come. That may be lavish praise but there just are not that many genuinely charming, feel-good films anymore.
The cast was superb:...

Pros: Frighteningly-fun filled with hilarity and humor.

Cons: Some jokes might not be understood if you're not familiar with certain beliefs.

The Bottom Line: When faith and love collide, you have a hilarious result, so my recommendation is that this movie is worth every cent. Definitely see it.

Review: Alright, well I'm sure countless numbers of you have heard the jokes many times, however those stories are nothing compared to this one. Ben Stiller is Rabbi Jake Schramm. Edward Norton is Father Brian Finn. Before their religious paths crossed, their...

Pros: Humorous scenes and moral points

Cons: Was an hour too short

Review: When I first saw the previews for Keeping the Faith, I suspected that it would fall into a certain movie stereotype- one which has hilarious trailers, but they are the only funny scenes in the entire movie. Needless to say, Keeping the Faith broke that...
