Synopsis: Imaginative theology and a bigger than usual budget make Kevin Smith's fourth film a kind of post-Catholic fantasy that only a comic-book enthusiast of his caliber could dream up. The plot is set... [More]

Top CriticThe true target of the film is not religion but religious dogma ...
07/07/08
A lighthearted, determinedly independent romp.
03/19/08
Top CriticA very vulgar pro-faith comedy rather than a sacrilegious goof, Dogma is an extraordinarily uneven film that significant cutting might be able to transform into a playable one.
03/19/08
Top CriticMake no mistake, Kevin Smith's talky, farcical comedy of cosmic errors is clever. But it's clever in a deeply juvenile way.
03/19/08
I couldn't care less whether Smith's metaphysical conceits about the war between Good and Evil are those of a devout believer or an atheist. The bottom line is that they're puerile.

What you hear throughout Dogma, liberally peppered with the usual prankish profanities, is Kevin Smith having a conversation with himself about his faith.
07/30/07
Writer-Director Kevin Smith keeps getting better.
07/14/07
Dogma is more strained than funny.
04/27/07
Top CriticIt's push-the-envelope coarse, thematically ambitious, and -- most dangerously -- self-consciously respectful and thoughtful on matters of faith and religion.
04/06/06
Too talky, too fond of in-jokes, too caught up (especially during the dismally weak climax) in its crass comic-strip ethos, and not, finally, as funny, subversive or thought-provoking as it would like to be.
01/26/06
It is thoughtful and funny but less than satisfying. Smith took on a bit too much, but I laud the effort.
04/09/05
a surprisingly tender and humane movie that seems touchingly confident of God's sense of humor and infinite patience
01/17/05
The film takes aim at so many contemporary targets and with such gusto that you fear each time you laugh you might be missing another wonderful line.
06/08/04
Jumping on the pre-millennium, end-of-the-world hype, Smith has chosen an opportune time to take a satirical and witty look at the shortcomings of organized religion.
06/08/04
Irreverent, but it is hardly sacrilegious.
06/08/04
I loved seeing all these great character actors at work, and the discussions are rich and intelligent.
10/23/03
The movie is brilliant satire, pointing out exactly what’s wrong in organized religion today and vaguely suggesting a few solutions.
