Keeping the Faith

About This Movie

Keeping the Faith is this quirky blend of comedy and romance that really plays with the dynamics of friendship and faith. You’ve got Edward Norton directing himself alongside Ben Stiller and Jenna Elfman, and it’s a neat mix of humor and heart. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it kind of adds to that laid-back New York vibe. What stands out here is the way it tackles serious themes around faith and love without getting too heavy-handed. The performances are genuine, especially Norton's as he navigates the challenges of being a rabbi with real-life dilemmas. It's not just a rom-com; it’s a look at how relationships evolve over time, and that makes it distinct in its own right.
