A Pleasant Surprise
15 April 2000
I went into this movie with very low expectations. The commercials made it look goofy and mildly blasphemous for all church-goers. All of my hesitations disappeared as soon as the movie started. It was very cute and showed some very human emotions that--I'm guessing--men of the cloth experience. Although there is no way you can convince me that Jenna Elfman is a high-powered executive, she was charming. I was most impressed with Edward Norton as Father Brian. His acting is done so naturally that it is hard to believe he's speaking from a script. My favorite line? When the Indian bartender with Jewish in laws says, "I'm a bartender. I don't do penance--I do shots." Enjoyable!
