Ebert & Roeper: Read more

Roger Ebert, At the Movies: Keeping the Faith is a profoundly secular movie. Read more

Susan Stark, Detroit News: Keeping the Faith refreshes the old-fashioned screwball comedy. Read more

Jay Webb, Dallas Morning News: A smart directorial debut by Mr. Norton. Read more

Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Keeping the Faith struggles hard to be a modern romantic comedy about commitment and, well, faith, but it doesn't quite make the grade. Read more

Hap Erstein, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Norton hardly revolutionizes the romantic triangle formula, but he does nudge it in the direction of something intelligent. Read more

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: An astute directorial debut for actor Edward Norton. Read more

Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle: The ending gets a little too cute, and isn't true to Anna's independent nature. Oh well, to forgive is divine. Read more

Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: An amusing distraction with clever writing and performances. Read more

Steven Rosen, Denver Post: We're given a flawed premise and told to deal with it. Read more

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Keeping the Faith commits sins of romantic comedy as well as sins of spiritual tragedy. Read more

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: It's as soft and squishy as anything by Nora Ephron or pre-caustic Woody Allen. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Only sporadically funny. Read more

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: [A] pallid, witless comedy of interfaith romance which would have seemed embarrassingly weak as a Borscht Belt resort skit in 1959. Read more

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: It loses energy and becomes repetitious and unnecessarily cumbersome. Read more

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. Read more

Emanuel Levy, Variety: A far more enjoyable experience than one would expect given its diagrammatic, overlong script. Read more

Amy Taubin, Village Voice: Keeping the Faith's hipness is limited to a couple of one-liners. Its exploration of faith and love is skin deep. Read more

Desson Thomson, Washington Post: The most enjoyable part of Faith is the comic business. Read more
