Keeping the Faith Movie Review 2000

Staff rating

---

Norton's directorial debut sounds like a bad bar joke but turns out to be a slick, if meandering, romantic comedy. He's a priest, Brian, whose longtime best friend Jake (Stiller) is a rabbi with a congregation that wants him married to a nice Jewish girl. As kids, their mutual best pal was Anna, who returns to New York as a workaholic corporate exec (Elfman). The friendship is re-established but so is something more--both men fall for the lady and, unbeknownst to Brian, Anna and Jake begin an affair. More than sparks fly.
