Keeping the Faith commits sins of romantic comedy as well as sins of spiritual tragedy.

Elvis Mitchell New York Times (Top Critic)

Keeping the Faith struggles hard to be a modern romantic comedy about commitment and, well, faith, but it doesn't quite make the grade.

Jay Carr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

The film does tend to move as if it's permanently stuck in second gear.

Louis B. Parks Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

The ending gets a little too cute, and isn't true to Anna's independent nature. Oh well, to forgive is divine.

Steven Rosen Denver Post (Top Critic)

We're given a flawed premise and told to deal with it.

John Hartl Film.com (Top Critic)

A tad too predictable to justify its two-hour-plus length.

It's as soft and squishy as anything by Nora Ephron or pre-caustic Woody Allen.

Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com (Top Critic)

[A] pallid, witless comedy of interfaith romance which would have seemed embarrassingly weak as a Borscht Belt resort skit in 1959.

Only sporadically funny.

Norton quickly finds the right note of relaxed sweetness, gentle humor, and swooningly earnest romance.

So, a rabbi and a priest fall in love...

Geoff Andrew Time Out

A romantic triangle dating movie as confected, and nearly as wholesome, as a '50s Universal bedroom farce, but lacking the confidence and zest.

A slight and uneven but very charming romantic comedy.

I sure wasn't expecting much.

Well-meaning and decently put together, and it has occasional moments of charm...[but] more than a trifle stale.

Epic dramas can be two hours or more. For light comedy, brevity is better. What could have been a great comedy is just a good one.

The script administers a relentless string of laughs, most of them genuinely funny.

It's a unique blend of charisma, wisdom, and emotion, rendered in a most appealing package.

There is genuine chemistry among this trio that is fun to watch, and the script will keep you giggling.

The movie's biggest surprise is the fine balance it strikes in navigating the tricky passage between offensive and funny.

Brent Simon Entertainment Today

75

A charmingly sloppy affair [full of] banter and the free-wheeling spirit of old Hollywood romances... a sun-drenched cinematic field trip.

Smart, funny and touching, and there is enjoyable chemistry between the three leads.
