This is a completely awesome movie. Kevin Smith did an fantastic job as Silent Bob (and the director). There were so many stars in this film--everyone fit their parts perfectly. Two fallen angels trying to fight their way back into heaven (Matt Damon and Ben Affleck) is the premise of the movie. The Last Scion is asked to stop them, and with the help of the 13th apostle, Rufus (Chris Rock) and two prophets, Jay and Silent Bob, attempt to accomplish the feat. George Carlin is the Cathollic Bishop who gives the angels a loophole to going home---and the stage is set. This movie is irreverent, hilarious and at time sacrilegious. I'm sure God has a sense of humor, how else could this movie exist?

This is one of my all time favorite movies. I lost my copy during a move and have been looking for it at yard sales and thrift stores for months. Found it in minutes on eBay of course. I got the two disc set for the extras. Very happy. Shipping was fast. I got the movie a day earlier than estimated.

I rented this movie a few summers back and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cast is stellar, and their performances are great. The dynamic between Ben Afflect and Matt Damon is in turn hilarious and extremely serious/intense. The irreverence quotient on this movie tops the charts, so if you don't have a sense of humor - do NOT, repeat, DO NOT buy this movie! There is about NOTHING more rewarding for me - as a Unitarian who teaches at a Catholic school - than to turn on "recovering Catholics" to this movie. While on one level it's pure irreverently comedic entertainment, what Linda Fiorentino's character experiences and works through touches most of us in some way - if you have ever looked to the Heavens and thought "God - if You really love me - WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?!" you can relate to her character, and she does a great job with the role. I don't think there's a bad performance on the part of ANY of the cast - having said that, I am no NY or LA film critic so what do I know? My sons (18 and 14) LOVE this movie as well, and bring their friends over to share it with them - while I would probably screen this prior to viewing it with kids under 18, just so you are confident that you, YOURSELF, are comfortable with the profanity used and the irreverence (George Carlin plays a Bishop? Ohhhh my GOD!) I have to say that this is one of the most hilarious movies I have ever enjoyed, which also bears the potential to spark a lot of really good, thoughtful discussion with others on the topics of what it means to HAVE FAITH. Personally - If I had to guess, I think Jesus would love this movie. And so will you!Read full review
Imaginative theology and a bigger-than-usual budget make Kevin Smith's (CHASING AMY, CLERKS) fourth film a kind of post-Catholic fantasy that only a comic-book enthusiast of his caliber could dream up. It concerns banished angels, Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck) who, after a few millennia in Wisconsin, discover a loophole in Catholic doctrine that would allow them back into heaven--but prove the fallibility of God and destroy the universe. As they make their way to New Jersey to receive a plenary indulgence, God dispatches a seraphim (Alan Rickman) to recruit lapsed-Catholic Bethany (Linda Fiorentino) to stop the angels. She finds help in muses, prophets (Jay and Silent Bob), and the forgotten 13th apostle, Rufus (Chris Rock). Before long, all hell breaks loose (literally), and God (Alanis Morrisette) has to put in an appearance of her own. Smith's controversial (and very funny) film is powered by his trademark dialogue, ripe with observations on pop culture, religion, and bodily functions.Read full review
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Although it's very funny and entertaining, I find it very thought-provoking and deeply spiritual as well. I like this particular edition for all the extras included. I totally recommend this movie to anyone who has ever questioned their faith, anyone who loves good, irreverent comedy, and of course all Jay and Silent Bob fans. You will not be disappointed.
