A very vulgar pro-faith comedy rather than a sacrilegious goof, Dogma is an extraordinarily uneven film that significant cutting might be able to transform into a playable one.

I couldn't care less whether Smith's metaphysical conceits about the war between Good and Evil are those of a devout believer or an atheist. The bottom line is that they're puerile.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Dogma is more strained than funny.
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
Rotten
Too talky, too fond of in-jokes, too caught up (especially during the dismally weak climax) in its crass comic-strip ethos, and not, finally, as funny, subversive or thought-provoking as it would like to be.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
A fresh premise gradually turns stale, and jokes that start out lively end up pooped.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
