But instead of a pair of friends, there used to be three - Anna. But instead of having lived a small life in a small town, Anna moved onto the big corporate world of America & somehow got lost in it all. Anna comes into town to visit & finds out what shes missing - love. To break the Bible & go for it, or to be faithful to the one thing that is very important in his life - the Bible. The film was dedicated to Edward Nortons late mother, Robin Norton. Casanova, the buisnessman in the office across the way is played by Jenna Elfman s husband Bodhi Elfman. This is Edward Nortons directional debut.

This is a true masterpiece! As an actor, Edwrad Norton has always impressed me, but he shows even more talent as a Director too. Everything about this movie is brilliant.

It tells the story of three childhood friends, , who have an incredilbly strong bond. Faith moves away but Jake & Brian stay friends & grow up together. They become a Jewish Rabbi & a Catholic Priest. Funny enough on its own.

Faith comes back into their lives a very successful business woman & wants to catch up on old times with them. She falls in love with Jake & he with her but they decide to keep it a secret so as not to make Brian feel left out.

What they dont realise is that Brian has also fallen for Faith. It captures all the funny & painful moments in such a way that you never tire of watching it. We watch in agony as Jake tries to keep his relationship a secret from his parishoners, who all seem to have a beautiful daughter, just Jewish enough for a Rabbi to date.

Brian is feeling things he hasnt felt for a long time & is now questioning his own faith. He eventually finds out that his two best friends have been dating behind his back & goes on a bender. He ends up in a little pub where he tells the wonderfully comical bartender all his woes.

This is a fantastic film & it will leave you with a huge soppy grin on your chops! This is a movie that should be seen at least once & I suggest you buy it because one viewing wont be enough!!!
