Plot: Two fallen angels believe they've found a loophole in God's rules, which would allow them to rejoin heaven. In order to do that they have to destroy the entire universe, but they don't seem to care that much. God is aware of their plan and she sends a few of her disciples in order to stop them from ending everything in existence.

Kevin Smith tackles religion in his signature style. I remembered liking Dogma quite a bit when I first watched it, but that was quite a while ago. The film is still pretty funny and there are several smart and pointed references scattered throughout, but two hours is a bit much and some scenes tend to drag.
It's fun to see famous actors make a fool of themselves, there are some great gags and the level of absurdity is quite high. Smith leans a bit too much on the dialogues though and the presentation comes off a little cheap and rushed. Dogma is still a hoot, the type of comedy that's sorely lacking these days, but its imperfections kept me from calling it a personal favorite.
