The conflict in the ever lasting war between Good and Evil has come to New Jersey, America in the late, late 20th Century. In Kevin Smith's comic fantasia DOGMA, angels, demons and apostles walk among the innocent people of America and battle it out for the fate of humankind. In what can only be said a comedy, two renegade fallen angels attempt to jerry-rig the entire cosmological system -- unless a group of humans can stop faith. Bethany (Linda Fiorentino), the heroine of DOGMA, is a woman who feels her prayers haven't been answered when, out of nowhere, an angel appears in her bedroom and declares her the potential savior of humanity. This abrupt meeting sets her off on an extraordinary journey of mystery, comedy and suspense as she is comic like world of celestial characters and adventure. Along the way she will meet up with a heaven-sent messenger (Alan Rickman), an apostle with a 2,000 year old beef (Chris Rock), a hotheaded demon (Jason Lee), a heavenly Muse (Salma Hayek) and two very unlikely Prophets known as Jay and Silent Bob as they each discover the power of their own individual faith. Few comedies present has attempted to write the very fate of humankind, but DOGMA is not your usual comedy. It is an imaginative and witty with surreal adult fable bursting with wild ideas, fantastical creations and boisterously funny characters. The film is both Kevin Smith's dream about the relationships and lifestyles of Celestial Beings - who it turns out are just as caught up in the small indignities and large absurdities of the universe as humans.
