I saw Dogma yesterday (sunday night 11/21) in Cleveland, OH. My theatre was pretty chatty during the movie time trivia and local ads, even during the previews. But as soon as the flick started, everyone was totally into the film. Everyone laughed when appropriate, was quiet when they were supposed to be, and everyone seemed really satisfied when they left. The only slight disruption occurred when some dingbat couple came in at the end of the movie, thinking it was the beginning...(they were there for the next showing) I had waited to see God for 2 hours, but all I heard was, "Did it start already? Did we miss the beginning? OH, honey, I think this is the end!" Finally they got wise to the situatiom and got up and waited in the lobby for the right screening.
My wife and I believe that this is the best movie we have seen all year...even the ones we liked had things we would've changed. We think DOGMA is perfect!
