Carol Buckland CNN.com Quinn is excellent as Seth. He's smart, he's sexy, and he lends a special spirit to his square-off with the Lord. Jan 5, 2018 Full Review Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 2/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Tries to go both ways with the material, mining the plot for laughs and profound existential drama, but nothing gels on either level. Rated: 0/4 Oct 3, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 21, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D Far too dark to be remotely funny. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I been there,wanting to defy God for the things wronged in my life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was pretty dumb, although the ending was all right. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Had some alright moments, but Aidan Quinn has definately done better. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Purposely breaking the commandments to find peace? I don't think so. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
