I was never a fan of Kevin Smith before this movie. But I found Dogma an absolute delight and I laughed all through it, even the parts I didn't "get." This is definitely a movie to be seen more than once, because you can't possibly absorb it all in one viewing. As stated in earlier reviews, the references to Catholic catechism and parochial upbringing abound. I'm sure that Kevin Smith was taught by nuns and clergy, because he's constantly poking fun at things that I experienced in Catholic school. The actors are all having fun in this movie, even if they have no idea what it's all about. Jay and Silent Bob have real parts in Dogma, as opposed to Chasing Amy where they appear to be "talking extras." By the way I never saw Dogma in the theater, but it works as a video because some of the funny lines go by so fast you have to replay the tape to get the full meaning. I can't wait for the next Kevin Smith flick, and I'll definitely spend the 8 bucks!
