Product: Keeping the Faith (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Wonderful Movie!
"Keeping the Faith" is a wonderful movie, which can be enjoyed many times. Ben Stiller, Edward Norton, and Jenna Elfman are perfect together in this romantic comedy, directed by Norton.Friendship, love, spontaneity, spirituality and fun mix with religion, tradition, duty, and ritual. How Stiller, a rabbi, Norton, an Irish Catholic priest, and Elfman, an Irish Catholic gal struggle to balance these is a joy. The supporting cast is terrific also, especially Anne Bancroft as Stiller's mom.It is brilliant how such serious issues can be dealt with in such a light hearted and comical way. The fine soundtrack also compliments the movie. One standout tune is "Heart of Mine," sung by Peter Salett at the end of the film.Being set in Manhattan, the film has additional appeal to anyone who has ever lived there.
