Thirdly, one of Potter's best friends is an incredibly smart girl named Hermione--a far better role model than Elle Macpherson for young girls who have previously been reading schlocky teen magazines which encourage rampant self-criticism. Harry is no slouch either--he studies all the time and does well in school, he never uses violence to get back at the bully and is friends with the principal. Finally, even scrawny little Harry is a star at sports. In short, Harry and his friends are every parent's dream kids...

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...
