Keeping the Faith has two distinct halves. But more on that at the end. :) Edward Norton, making his directorial debut, does an excellent job playing his priest likably and convincingly, as does Ben Stiller in playing his rabbi. Jenna Elfman shines in her role. I would call Norton's "first film" an enjoyable (at times more serious) romantic comedy that easily trumps today's so-called romantic comedies... And now to the two halves: while the first one is guaranteed to make you laugh, the second one will make you think and experience it a bit deeper... The relationship and more serious storyline alternates with the comedy line, but it doesn't end badly... :-) Maybe it never would have been able to. :)

Une charmante comédie sur l’amour, la foi et l’amitié. Je me suis bien amusé et j’ai beaucoup ri. Par contre, je n’ai plus jamais vu Jenna Elfman dans d’autres films et c'est bien dommage. Ma scène préférée, c’est quand le rabbin et le prêtre marchent dans la rue dans des vestes en cuir au son de Smooth de Santana.

Edward Norton tries hard both behind and in front of the camera, but he doesn't create an unforgettable romance by any means. Far too often, he tries to rely on pop culture references or a purely American, positive view of religion, regardless of what kind of religion it is.

If it weren't for the charms of Jenna Elfman and the reputation of Edward Norton, this film would not have had the response it did. From my perspective, it's an unremarkable romantic comedy with a number of dull moments. Overall impression: 50%.

Yes, it's a slightly different romantic comedy, but its inclusion in the Women's Film Collection describes it perfectly and doesn't dishonor it.

Another average and unremarkable smart romantic comedy that boasts a plethora of star names (Miloš Forman is the most surprising) and a solid screenplay. I liked Ben Stiller, for the first time he isn’t making a fool of himself, he plays rather a solid New York rabbi playboy, and it definitely works. Edward Norton, on the other hand, is exactly as I dislike him – a cute know-it-all. There is an attempt to break free from the mediocrity box, but unfortunately it is unsuccessful.
