Keeping the Faith Reviews
I am very happy that the movie shows us the steps and choices that are necessary in the life of a great person. I like the movie.
We're dumb, we need dumb scenarios in our lives. Let's just keeping the faith!!
Fun movie! Cute little story about 3 friends. Watch it every summer with a group of girls.
Entrentenida. Linda historia de amor. Si bien es cliché el orden en el que suceden las cosas, el planteo de inicio (rabino/cura) es distinto a otras pelis de misma característica.
Great acting, classic romcom
Why don't we have actors of this caliber anymore? Imperceptibly, I found myself mentally and emotionally invested in all the talking points because of their natural interactions. It was fun / it was pensive.
I ran across this gem only recently. Very sweet. A bit long, which is why I took off one star. But solid and endearing overall.
In typical tedious rom-com style, the powerful woman who works hard doubts her life as a "workaholic" and gives it all up (including her faith) for a man, who winds up sacrificing nothing. It would have been SO much more interesting if the situation had been reversed, and the rabbi had given up his life and career for the woman. Meanwhile, though the film is touted as a love triangle, and Anna flirts outrageously with her priest friend, making him think she cares, she never has romantic or sexual feelings for him. So he winds up being hurt and humiliated--but improbably bounces back and resumes his friendship with the rabbi after only two weeks. Everything is wrapped up with a bow and a song in the end. It's all so rote and Hallmark Channel. And so so sexist. Ho-hum.
100% Chick Flick of interminable length and so much hoaky corn. Blobbo couldn't wait - and wait - for movie end. (Mrs Blobbo loved it.)
Pretty solid all the way thru . Maybe a little long and cheesy at the very end 3.4
I thought the relationships made it work even if I didn't like the ending.
love and religion go hand in hand in this clever romantic-comedy directed by Edward Norton he stars alongside Ben Stiller and Jenna Elfman Jacob, Brian, and Anna have been friends since their teen years, after she moved to California Jacob and Brian found a shared love of religion and decided to become a priest and a rabbi when she finally returns as a corporate executive so many swirling emotions start taking over and a love triangle takes place between all 3 of them there's tugging back and forth about having faith in yourself, in others, believing in love if not religion, taking a leap forward, pleasing others at the expense of just you, wanting to choose your own form of happiness, and taking joy in your own form of beliefs even best friends can up end having rocky relationships, not necessarily romantic Elfman and Stiller are terrific although it seems that Norton is absent throughout most of this all in all the three leads work so wonderfully trekking through the complications of love, friendship, sticking to the cloth, and opening up to the other possibilities of life
I really wanted to make a bad priest and a rabbi joke and then compare this movie to that. Well the bad news is I can't do that because I ended up liking this movie as cheesy as it is.
I liked this much more the second time around than I did when I first saw it. Edward Norton and Stiller are funny enough.
A clever premise. Will not spoil it by telling what happens between the youthful rabbi and his Irish girl friend. The best performance is by the Punjabi bartender, who, like so many New Yorkers, has a tale or two of his own.
very delicate! I love Edward Norton anyways, but this is his first movie as a writer and director, it was made in the memory of his mother, he wrote for her" In loving memory of Robin Norton Who had faith in everybody" he's such a good heart!
