KEEPING
THE FAITH
Best friends since they were kids, Rabbi Jacob (the oh-so sexy Ben Stiller)
and Father Brian (played to the tee by Edward Norton – who’s also the
film’s director) are busy trying to save souls in New York's Upper West
Side. They still play ball together and each have their own charm with
their congregations. In other words; life is good. That is, until childhood
gal pal Anna Reilly (Jenna Elfman) returns to the city. Sparks fly and
a complicated love triangle ensues that only this fine team of thespians
could play off. Norton’s direction is delightful and I was even able to
handle Jenna Elfman, as her “Dharma” routine was nowhere to be found.
In fact, she came across as intelligent and sexy and the chemistry between
her and Stiller rocked. Rating: 4.25 Martinis |
