Both funny and at times rather menacing. 'Dogma' is the often hilarious story of an abortion clinic worker who lost her faith. She attends church, but doesn't believe anymore. When she is charged with the pilgrimage to New Jersey to stop two fallen angels from entering a church and thus negating all of the existence, she is understandably skeptical. However, after witnessing many supernatural occurrences, including Chris Rock falling from the sky as the 13th apostle, the Metatron, a seraphin played by Alan Rickman who is as anatomically incorrect as a Ken doll, the Golgotha, a demon made up of human excrement, and Serendipity, a former muse played by Salma Hayek, Bethany, played by Linda Fiorentino begins to believe again. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, Loki and Bartleby, two angels that have been expelled from Heaven to live in Wisconsin, are great! Both funny and at times rather menacing, both manage to convincingly play these otherworldly beings. Affleck especially must go through the gamit of emotions and he does it splendidly. Actually, all of the performances are fine. Kevin Smith, the writer / director / actor (Silent Bob), continues his series of thought-provoking and all together wonderful films.
