Keeping The Faith (2000) 8/10

Starring : Ben Stiller, Edward Norton, Jenna Elfman, Anne Bancroft, Eli Wallach, Ron Rifkin
Director : Edward Norton
Running Time : 120 mins

Best friends Jake Schram (Stiller) and Brian Finn (Norton) are unusual pair - one being a Rabbi and the other a Priest – but despite their differences, nothing has ever come between them. That is until the meet their childhood friend Anna Riley (Elfman) for the first time in many years, and both fall instantly in love with her all over again.

This is a nice little comedy drama, in which you can’t help but feel sorry for most of the characters. Stiller and Norton play buddies very well, almost as if they are in real life, and Elfman manages to bring a childlike charm to her character while still remaining sexy. Definitely a must watch for anyone who likes Norton or Stiller, but it is a little on the long side.
