...penis jokes abound. Smith, who conceived the Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy triptych, has an unmistakable brand of humor, a unique way of putting smart, nasty words into his character's mouths. His small, dialogue-based films thrive on the rantings of slackers and dopeheads and revel in the insignificant struggles of everyday life. Given the plot and the ribaldry of Dogma, it's no wonder the Catholic League has--well, raised hell about its release. The organization was responsible for convincing Disney, the original distributor, to drop the movie, arguing that it was blasphemous and immoral. Smith, himself...

It is at times, a shock-fest where there are enough bodily functions abound to delight even the most ardent of David Lynch fans--characters spitting up blood, urinating on closed toilets, puking and a rape all occur in the first fifteen minutes. At others, it attempts to be the defining film concerning love at the end of the millennium (cringe). In the inimitable style...
