Quinn is excellent as Seth. He's smart, he's sexy, and he lends a special spirit to his square-off with the Lord.

This is one strange movie; it's as if When Harry Met Sally... was directed by Ingmar Bergman.

Rated: 2/4

This big-city spiritual fantasy makes for a plodding 87 minutes -- though maybe 8.7 of the minutes have something original on their mind.

Tries to go both ways with the material, mining the plot for laughs and profound existential drama, but nothing gels on either level.

Far too dark to be remotely funny.

Its amazing how sleeping with a deranged heartbroken lunatic can be justified, in the package of a failing marriage.. The movie isn't great but does depict how really shallow people are in times like these..

Purposely breaking the commandments to find peace? I don't think so.
