Quinn is excellent as Seth. He's smart, he's sexy, and he lends a special spirit to his square-off with the Lord. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000

This is one strange movie; it's as if When Harry Met Sally... was directed by Ingmar Bergman. Go to Full Review Mike Clark USA Today 01/01/2000

This big-city spiritual fantasy makes for a plodding 87 minutes -- though maybe 8.7 of the minutes have something original on their mind. Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/06/2005

Tries to go both ways with the material, mining the plot for laughs and profound existential drama, but nothing gels on either level. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 07/21/2005

Steve D 09/20/2023 Far too dark to be remotely funny. See more 01/26/2014 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.. See more 01/27/2013 I been there,wanting to defy God for the things wronged in my life. See more 12/24/2011 This movie was pretty dumb, although the ending was all right. See more 07/21/2009 Had some alright moments, but Aidan Quinn has definately done better. See more 04/17/2009 Purposely breaking the commandments to find peace? I don't think so. See more Read all reviews
