    A nice, sweet and gentle little love film with religion as the occurring theme. As an atheist, I should of hated it!

    I have been in love with this movie for a long time. After watching it again last night I am reminded why.
    This story has so many layers:
    Secular messages and the trials and tribulations of inter-faith relationships. The importance of good friends and long-standing friendship...( read more)s. Priorities, what is truly important may not lay in the direction you have been facing for so long. The importance of Love.
    The performances are heartfelt. The chemistry is fantastic. The humor is strong as are the messages, but none of this is overbearing.
    This movie just feels good all the way through and speaks to following the heart not the paths that others might set for you.
    As a romantic comedy this one definitely still sits up towards the top of my list.

    Cute movie about three friends. Both guys fall for the same girl. One of Ben Stiller's earlier movies before all the comic stuff.

    Keeping the Faith, Edward Norton's directorial debut, centers on Jake (Ben Stiller) and Brian (Norton), a rabbi and a priest who've been best friends since childhood.

    It was really well done and both funny and emotionally close. However, I was totally rooting for the Priest in this one, and he totally looses out. A bit sad for me.

    I love Edward Norton and I am starting to like Ben Stiller. Jenna Elfman looked good in this movie. This one was pretty boring - I found myself playing with my phone during the movie. It had its funny moments and its touching moments, but overall, I don't think I need this one...( read more) in my collection...

    1 star for Ed looking cute.

    Very good! Funny even if theres some god stuff to it.

    Ben Stiller and Edward Norton did very good jobs in performing characters who fall for the same woman while they are respectively Keeping The Faith.

Critic Reviews

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

It's as soft and squishy as anything by Nora Ephron or pre-caustic Woody Allen. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Keeping the Faith is a profoundly secular movie.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It loses energy and becomes repetitious and unnecessarily cumbersome. full review

Roger Ebert, At the Movies

Keeping the Faith is a profoundly secular movie. full review
