This is not a game, this is a movie
An imaginative theology and a bigger budget than usual make Kevin Smith’s fourth film (CHASING AMY, CLERKS) a kind of post-Catholic fantasy that only a comics enthusiast of his caliber could conceive.
The story features Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck), two fallen angels who, after spending a few millennia in Wisconsin, discover a loophole in Catholic doctrine that allows them to return to heaven – but in doing so, prove God’s fallibility and destroy the universe.
As they head to New Jersey to receive a plenary indulgence, God sends a seraph (Alan Rickman) to recruit Bethany (Linda Fiorentino), a non-practicing Catholic, to stop the angels.
She finds help from the muses, prophets (Jay and Silent Bob), and the forgotten thirteenth apostle, Rufus (Chris Rock). Soon, chaos ensues (literally), and God (Alanis Morissette) must intervene.
Smith’s controversial (and very funny) film is driven by his signature dialogue, full of observations on pop culture, religion, and bodily functions.
