...angels creep ever-closer to the Garden State and the subsequent unmaking of the universe, Bethany struggles to understand why God has chosen her, someone who has experienced nothing but misfortune in her life. Fortunately, she isn't alone in her quest. Joined by Rufus (Chris Rock), the 13th Apostle who was left out of the Bible because he was black, a muse named Serendipity (Salma Hayek), and who other than Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith himself) as prophets, Bethany gets plenty of attention. This holy brigade isn't exactly brimming with talented actors; Rock, though funny, regurgitates...
