Imaginative
theology
and
a
bigger-than-usual
budget
make
Kevin
Smith's
(CHASING
AMY,
CLERKS)
fourth
film
a
kind
of
post-Catholic
fantasy
that
only
a
comic-book
enthusiast
of
his
caliber
could
dream
up.
It
concerns
banished
angels,
Loki
(Matt
Damon)
and
Bartleby
(Ben
Affleck)
who,
after
a
few
millennia
in
Wisconsin,
discover
a
loophole
in
Catholic
doctrine
that
would
allow
them
back
into
heaven--but
prove
the
fallibility
of
God
and
destroy
the
universe.
As
they
make
their
way
to
New
Jersey
to
receive
a
plenary
indulgence,
God
dispatches
a
seraphim
(Alan
Rickman)
to
recruit
lapsed-Catholic
Bethany
(Linda
Fiorentino)
to
stop
the
angels.
She
finds
help
in
muses,
prophets
(Jay
and
Silent
Bob),
and
the
forgotten
13th
apostle,
Rufus
(Chris
Rock).
Before
long,
all
hell
breaks
loose
(literally),
and
God
(Alanis
Morrisette)
has
to
put
in
an
appearance
of
her
own.
Smith's
controversial
(and
very
funny)
film
is
powered
by
his
trademark
dialogue,
ripe
with
observations
on
pop
culture,
religion,
and
bodily
functions.
