VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

powermandan Keeping the Faith is a nice little romantic comedy that stars the iconic Ben Stiller and Edward Norton with the lesser-known Jenna Elfman. This had the potential to be as iconic as the stars, but it tries to take the safe way out by not putting enough emphasis on the love triangle bit and putting to much on the normal love situation. But for what it is, it is worth the watch.Ben Stiller and Edward Norton are awesome as always as lifelong best friends who know that their calling is to preach in their religions: Judaism and Christianity. Both use their own hip methods and soon fill up their parishes and become a rock star-like rabbi and priest. It is really cool to see them hone their crafts in their respective places. I myself go to church and I really wish I had a priest like Norton. If I were Jewish, I'd wish for a rabbi like Stiller. Although I am not Jewish, Stiller's bits in the temple are just as cool as Norton's bits in the church. When they were kids for a few years, their best friend was Anna and they were inseparable. When Anna moves back both Norton and Stiller vie for her, which puts their friendship and faiths on the line. Stiller needs to marry a Jewish woman in order to be the next head of the synagogue, but is not ready to risk it by being with Anna who is not Jewish. Norton can't marry, but is ready to quit the priesthood and be with Anna. That sounds like a good plot line for the movie. She loves them both, but is in love with Stiller. That is where the movie is weak. What would make for a better plot line is would be if she fell in love with both of them. Maybe in unison, but still. They way that it works out is that a love triangle is just a tiny bit of a backdrop and most of the story is Stiller contemplating risking his status as a rabbi. Nothing wrong with that, but the love triangle had so much potential that just resulted in a big cop-out. That is what makes the ending so predictable. With Anna having the same amount of love for both guys the stakes would be higher, tension would grow, excitement would elevate, there'd be more originality and would probably be more funny. But what it does have is good. It is romantic, funny, and delivers good messages in faith and religions. I would recommend buying this movie, but it is worth seeing if it happens to be shown on TV.

Avid Climber Keeping the Faith is unforgettable and unusual twist on the love triangle story. You know that joke about the priest and the rabbi? Well, that's not it, this is something else, something new.This movie is a sensible blend of comedy and romance. There's no exaggerations (well, maybe excepting that one weird date) and everything has a sense or realism, including the dialogs.There's a nice soundtrack attached to this interesting script with a number of cute twists. You will not be bored, you will definitively be charmed, and have a number of chuckles.See it, for some simply enjoyable entertainment.

G K A rabbi (Ben Stiller) and a Catholic priest (Edward Norton), long-time friends, both fall in love with a girl (Jenna Elfman) they knew from childhood.The film's premise sounds like the opening of a corny joke, and this is an unashamedly old-fashioned set-up; Bing Crosby would not have been out of place playing this priest. For all that, it's hugely appealing, Stiller and Norton trade quips engagingly, and it's a genuinely feel-good couple of hours. The film opened at #3 at the U.S. Box office, behind 28 Days starring Sandra Bullock and Rules Of Engagement starring Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson.
