The latest battle in the eternal war between Good and Evil has come to New Jersey in the late, late 20th Century. Angels, demons, apostles and prophets (of a sort) walk among the cynics and innocents of America and duke it out for the fate of humankind.

TNT RoughCut
Frequently hilarious, often profound, and occasionally stupid. - 70
Los Angeles Times
A raucous, profane but surprisingly endearing piece of work. - 70
The New York Times
Smith makes a big, gutsy leap into questions of faith and religion. He miraculously emerges with his humor intact and his wings unsinged. - 70
Film.com
Smith has crammed the film with enough genuinely funny moments and insightful bits to make it well worth seeing. - 63
Miami Herald
As funny as a lot of the film is, Dogma remains as frustratingly uneven as the rest of Smith's work. - 63
Chicago Tribune
Smith's strongest suit is writing dialogue that slips smart insights in between pop-culture references and raunchy language. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
It does commit a cardinal sin of filmmaking. It's boring. - 63
New York Post
Kevin Smith's attempt to combine sketchy low comedy with long-winded theological speculation results in a mostly unfunny and occasionally tedious mess.
