    Synopsis:
    Ben Stiller (There`s Something About Mary), Jenna Elfman (EdTV) and Edward Norton (Fight Club) star in Keeping The Faith, a sexy romantic comedy so fresh and funny, you`ll fall head over heels in love!

    Jake Schram (Stiller) and Brian Finn (Norton) are single, successful, extremely popular guys who have been best friends since, well... forever. They are about to be reunited with their other best childhood buddy, the feisty, lanky tomboy, Anna (Elfman).

    Anna has grown into a high-powered, workaholic beauty whose reentry into their lives turns this old circle of friends into a love triangle, a very complicated one at that because Jake`s a rabbi and Brian is a priest.

    But have faith, this gem is going to steal your heart.

    A nice little gem.
    I was certain it`d be a comedy, but it turned out to be a drama with some comic relief. Very enjoyable, though.
    The video transfer is good. There are no compression signs at all and the picture is clear.
    The DD 5.1 soundtrack is appropriate for this kind of a movie. The conversations are always centered and there is no usage of the surrounds at all.
    The menus are still and rather dull.
    The extras include a nice commentary, some deleted scenes (check out the cell phone scene - a MUST see) and a hilarious gag reel.
    Bottom line - 3 great actors in a cute little movie. Go for it. :)
