Description

Keeping The Faith - DVD- Ben Stiller (THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS), 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. While You Were Sleeping - English/French DVD -You'll fall in love with WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, the hit romantic comedy that woke everyone up to adorable Sandra Bullock (SPEED, A TIME TO KILL). As Lucy, a lonely subway worker, she becomes smitten with a handsome stranger (Peter Gallagher -- MALICE). But when she saves his life after he's been mugged and fallen into a coma, his hilariously offbeat family mistakes her for his fiancee! Soon, the mix-ups escalate as Lucy fabricates a life between herself and a man she's never met! And when Lucy falls for his charming brother (Bill Pullman -- INDEPENDENCE DAY) the situation really gets uproarious as she's forced to make a choice between the two!

Odd pairing of movies.......2005-04-14

Keeping the Faith:

I have to admit I started watching this movie with a less than positive attitude. My previous encounters with Ben Stiller were either getting certain appendages stuck in zippers or having crocodilian's crispy heads removed geek style. I recognized Jenna Elfman from [Krippendorf's Tribe (1998) ASIN: 6304938748]. So I was ready for some wasted film.
After holding my breath and waiting for it to hit. I soon realized that this was a well put together movie with a good story plot and excellent execution. I was amazed at the people that were in this movie. Half the time I keep saying "oh look there is" Anne Bancroft, Eli Wallach, and many others.
Basic story of three childhood friends. One went away and the other two chose to become (now don't laugh) a priest and a rabbi. The one that went away (Anna Riley) returns as a business executive and has a magnetic personality with accoutrements to match.
The fun and the drama is when two and a half become more than friend. How will they and their world react to this? What makes the movie is not the story as much as how it is executed. And it seems that I need to re-evaluate Ben Stiller as he did a fine job with just the minimum of "spectacles, testicles, watch, wallet".

While You Were Sleeping:

This is one of those movies that can be watched over and again. First time you anticipate what is going to happen. Second time you see where they are setting you up. After a while you can imagine the seen from the sound. Back to the movie.
There is a nice story line and it is just in the believable. However it is the many small scenes that make you relay enjoy watching. When Lucy (Sandra Bullock) is confronted in Peter's apartment, Jack his brother is already suspicious of her. Peter's real girlfriend Ashley left her cat there. Lucy says she is just there to feed the cat, Jack smugly says that Peter has no cat. About that time what should come around the corner but the cat. Every time Jack thinks he has the upper hand, Lucy has a plausible explanation. I do not want to say too much, as it is fun to watch for the first time. However I think you will be able to relate the scene where the family is talking in the church.

horrible.......2003-02-24

bloody horrible. I'm terribly disappointed. dear lord, terrible.

Nice romantic comedies!.......2002-03-04

I usually hate these two-pack movies because the choices always seem to revolve around one movie that I love and one I don't really care for (i.e. Pretty Woman, Coyote Ugly). I always check though, because it's cheaper to buy 2 together. But in this case, I couldn't be happier the choices are great. Keeping The Faith is a very funny movie about a priest, a rabbi and their childhood "girl" friend. While You Were Sleeping is judged by many people as one of the best romantic comedies of the 90s and I have to admit that I agree, Sandra Bullock is a very good actress and she makes this movie what it's worth. So if you're looking for a great gift or just something to do on a Sunday afternoon, these two movie are a wonderful idea.

ENJOY;)

Faith, religion, tolerance.......2001-08-06

A nice and amusing story with a deep message. A beautiful friendship priest and a rabbi. They accept each other from their childhood. However they have a a third friend from the school: a nice blonde girl who returns to them. The big trio are together again.As adults the male-female correlation cannot be the same. Both fall in love to her that makes conflicts with their religions. A movie must to see. Teaches how to handle the conflicts and each other.
