(1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 73% Fresh Page   1   8/10 "Since debuting with Clerks, Smith has grown as a director, particularly in terms of working with actors."   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers 3.5/5 "One of the funnier films of the year."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null "Really, it’s pro-religious, wanting to reinvigorate faith with joy and hope."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs 1/4 "The fact that it has a great, intriguing premise only stimulates my dislike -- it promises great things, and never delivers the goods."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes D "To take this film seriously is a big mistake, which is why I have no sympathy for protesters of this film."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "Dogma is not supposed to be taken seriously, which is as it should be."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman "The movie is brilliant satire, pointing out exactly what’s wrong in organized religion today and vaguely suggesting a few solutions."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov D- "An incoherent jumble."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Presents some zany commentary on institutional Christianity, angels, demons, modern day immorality, and the mysterious presence of God. Wow!"   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "The problems with Dogma are that it's uneven, overlong, and occasionally uninteresting."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "That the movie is both funny and devout is something of a miracle."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 8/10 "Original and ambitious."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth "A mixed bag."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "Ambitious, original, funny."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3/4 "Writer-Director Kevin Smith keeps getting better."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 6/10 "The longer the film goes on, the less funny it gets."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "Dogma is unrelentingly and blisteringly hysterical, which, in measured doses, is fantastic."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3.5/4 "Don't dismiss it because it's jam packed with laughs. Comedy if often more effective at showcasing ideas than drama, as it doesn't restrain itself from exploring even the dumbest possibilities."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 3/4 "Make no mistake, Kevin Smith's talky, farcical comedy of cosmic errors is clever. But it's clever in a deeply juvenile way."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh low +1 out of -4..+4 "The script is full of interesting ideas but frequently they go by at lightning speed."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 2.5/4 "Dogma entertained me but it did not impress me."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 9/10 "Moviegoers who don't think about what Smith is trying to say will have no problem taking it all for an adolescent joke. But those who do stop to ponder his message will find Dogma harder to dismiss."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "A lot of people will walk out of Dogma thinking back on its many laughs, but just as many, if not more, will come out reflecting on their own religious faith."   Movie Poop Shoot   Michael Dequina 4/5 "Como saga religiosa, 'Dogma' é mesmo uma excelente comédia."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "What you hear throughout Dogma, liberally peppered with the usual prankish profanities, is Kevin Smith having a conversation with himself about his faith."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 8/10 "Kevin Smith, also known as Silent Bob, writes and directs very funny films, but there is always a dark, brooding angst lurking among the laughs."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "It is thoughtful and funny but less than satisfying. Smith took on a bit too much, but I laud the effort."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3/5 "Call it a near-miss."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "The true target of the film is not religion but religious dogma ..."   ESplatter   Steve Biodrowski F "Smith isn’t content merely to promote his own generic “faith”; he has to tell us, again and again, what’s wrong with orthodox Catholic belief."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 2/10 "It's a dud."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger 3.5/4 Read review   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 8/10 Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Jonathan F.
