by Stephen_Murray  in Movies,  - Top 100, Oct 18 '00
Pros: many fine performances, lots of charm
Cons: Ben Stiller as a romantic lead, occasional ludicrousness
“Have you heard the one about the rabbi who is schtupping the woman the priest loves?” is the premise of “Keeping the Faith,” a romantic sitcom directed by the abundantly talented actor Edward Norton (“Primal Fear,” “American History X,” “The People vs....

by Lark729_89 - Top 1000, Feb 08 '01
Pros: The movie flows naturally towards religious comedy yet never loses respect for religion.
Cons: not a one in my book
The title of this review are the words at the ending of this cute entertaining movie. The late Robin Norton was Edward Norton's mother. Keeping The Faith is the first movie Ed ever directed and produced. He did a fine job. His mother would be...

Pros: Funny, wise, light-hearted
Cons: Ending drags
"Keeping The Faith" marks the second time in recent weeks where an actor has stepped into the director's chair. In "Return To Me," Bonnie Hunt made a good debut behind the camera. In "Keeping The Faith," Edward Norton has...

Pros: Great Cast
Cons: Ben Stiller not leading man material
Keeping the Faith, directed by Ed Norton, is a great movie about three best friends from childhood who hook up later in life and test the religious beliefs of the three involved.
CAST:
Ben Stiller - Plays Rabbi Jake Schram, the sect's...

Pros: Jenna Elfman and Ben Stiller
Cons: Ends Just The Way You Think It Does
When a girl is on a four hour flight, what's she to do but watch the inflight movie?
That's right. I refused to subject myself to this in theaters or even on video but on a a plane, it's a different story. I'm a captive audience who would...

Pros: A touching, mature story wrapped into a funny comedy
Cons: A little long, and it made me a little weepy.
I think I have become the ultimate Epinions addict. I am currently on an airplane, having just finished watching the movie, “Keeping the Faith”, and I am already sitting here writing a review. I think I have problems. Or maybe I just enjoyed the...

Pros: Funny light-hearted film
Cons: not much depth
In loving memory of Robin Norton
Did anyone else notice the little note at the end of the movie that said In loving memory of Robin Norton? Well I did; and here is the scoop.
Robin Norton was Edward Norton's mother. Who is as you...

Pros: Some genuinely funny material / Strong comedic (though not romantic) performances from full cast
Cons: The skills of Norton and Stiller are basically wasted with this overused material / Slows to a crawl as it passes two hours
Edward Norton is, hands down, the best young actor in Hollywood today. His performances range from some of the most brilliant of the 90s, in American History X, Fight Club, and Primal Fear, to other similarly excellent ones in...

Pros: Religion made fun. Some good laughs. Uplifting and surprisingly unoffensive.
Cons: Surprisingly unoffensive. Laughs are sparse at the beginning. More I Luv NYC bullcrap.
The thing that New York City supposedly represents better than any other city is people of all relig ...

Pros: Funny, pleasant comedy with great cast.
Cons: Where is Billy Joel's "Keeping the Faith" song?
If it seems like I’ve been lost
In let’s remember
If you think I’m feeling older
And missing my younger days
Oh, then you should have known
Me much better
Cause my past is something that
never
Got in my...

Pros: wonderfully done in all aspects - the cast has LOTS of chemistry, the script's great, the plot is interesting, and there's LOTS of laughs
Cons: wasn't necessary to have either male leads' characters drink, swear, or have sex
I saw the previews for Keeping the Faith when I went to see The Skulls and just that short bit instantly intrigued me. It's not everyday that a comedy's made that features what's spawned so many "rabbi and priest" jokes; and the...

Pros: Ben Stiller, Ed Norton and Jenna Elfman. Also a group of great co-stars.
Cons: It is predictable from start to finish.
Keeping the faith kept my interest, (just barely) from beginning to end. It's the kind of romantic comedy that has to have something special to keep your interest; In this case the something special is a trio of young actors, Edward Norton, Ben...

by Lambira - Top 1000, Apr 17 '00
Pros: Jenna Elfman's wardrobe; a few moments of fun.
Cons: A puffball copout of a movie that squanders the talent of Norton. Stick to acting, Edward!
This weekend was one of utter moviegoing mayhem. First, I foolishly watched my free DVD copy of Lost In Space; like a deer frozen in the headlights, I was unable to flee from the sheer horror of THAT oncoming eighteen-wheeler. To restore my faith...

by scott29 - Top 500, Jun 24 '00
Pros: Surprisingly funny, quite pleasant, amicable performances.
Cons: Approaches CORN territory. Perhaps a little too precious.
In order for a romantic comedy to find an audience these days, it can't be a simple boy-meets-girl story. There's got to be a 'hook'. Either the 'girl' is a world famous actress or the 'boy' is a re-animated corpse from ancient Spain who has to get...

by acinom , Aug 11 '01
Pros: Stiller and Norton
Cons: Jenna Elfman
Keeping the Faith is a simple, good film, made with an awkward craftsmanship that is sometimes its sole charm. This is the kind of film, like The Ref(Kevin Spacey, Dennis Leary), and Office Space (Jennifer...
