Dogma (DVD, 1999) Kevin Smith Comedy - Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Salma Hayek

This is the DVD of the 1999 fantasy comedy "Dogma," written and directed by Kevin Smith (*Clerks*, *Chasing Amy*). This pre-owned disc is in very good, playable condition.

The film follows two fallen angels, Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck), who discover a loophole in Catholic dogma that could allow them back into Heaven. The problem is, their success would undo all of existence. A despondent abortion clinic worker (Linda Fiorentino) is tasked by the angel Metatron (Alan Rickman) to stop them, aided by two prophets (Jay and Silent Bob) and the 13th Apostle (Chris Rock).

"Dogma" is a hilarious and thought-provoking satire, filled with Smith's signature dialogue and a star-studded cast including George Carlin, Salma Hayek, and Jason Lee.

This is a must-have for Kevin Smith fans and anyone who enjoys irreverent religious comedy. Despite the controversy it caused, it remains a smart and funny film.

The film's satirical take on Catholicism sparked significant controversy and protests from religious groups like the Catholic League, leading to death threats against Smith. Despite this, it was critically well-received and became the highest-grossing film in Smith's View Askewniverse.
