Keeping the Faith (2000)

Keeping the FaithThere was this rabbi
this priest
and this chick ...

A New Age rabbi (Ben Stiller) and his best pal from childhood, a priest (Ed Norton, who also directed), find themselves in an interesting situation when their best old gal pal from school days (Jenna Elfman) returns to NYC to visit them.

A cute, upbeat film with several laugh out loud spots.

Anne Bancroft plays the young rabbi's mother in her final role. Serving as their advisors are Rabbi Lewis (Eli Wallach) and Father Havel (Milos Forman)

Rated PG-13 for some sexuality and language.
