July 23, 2011Ed Norton directs (say what!!!) this comedy built around, of all things, the opening of a joke ("Priest and a rabbi walk into a bar ...").

December 8, 2008The themes of faith, love, and how far you'd go to break and rebuild both, comes together extremely well. I don't usually care for Jenna Elfman but she sparkles in this film. Wonderful soundtrack!

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
It's as soft and squishy as anything by Nora Ephron or pre-caustic Woody Allen. Full Review

Jay Carr, Boston Globe
The film does tend to move as if it's permanently stuck in second gear.

Roger Ebert, At the Movies
Keeping the Faith is a profoundly secular movie. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
It loses energy and becomes repetitious and unnecessarily cumbersome. Full Review

The most enjoyable part of Faith is the comic business. Full Review

Emanuel Levy, Variety
A far more enjoyable experience than one would expect given its diagrammatic, overlong script. Full Review

We're given a flawed premise and told to deal with it. Full Review
