When an old friend returns things get a little bit awkward eventually: when Anna Reilly [Younger: Blythe Auffarth/Older: Jenna Elfman:] she is a highly successful business lady that works for this organisation, that has returned to work but also to see her two best friends in Rabbi Jacob "Jake" Schram and Father Brian Kilkenney Finn [Younger pairing: Jake Schram & Brian Finn: Samuel R. Goldberg &Michael Charles Roman/Order: Ben Stiller & Director for this film Edward Norton:] as you can tell they individually found their religious calling and around some parts of New York they are known as The God Squad: this is this trio's story

Generally speaking: the script, character developments, framework and pacing of this 128 minutes film is incredibly slow as the script comes to us from the outlay of storyteller/exposition character developments and on top of that doing this coming full circle; with perhaps roughly around just before the final quarter things obviously picking up its feet.

Action and comedy; we have The God Squad getting their posterior handed to them on the basketball court and much later on we have Rabbi Schram tries to go one-on-one with this security and he epically fails and a little while later he runs into a clothesline from this security member and at some point or another we haveFather Finn performing this impression of Raymond “Ray” Babbitt/Rain Man

Character developments and performances; yes we get the standard exposition origin/back story of our trio of friends, but after that we have to wait certain long-time like around or just before the final quarter where the character developments go from ambling along to significant in-depth progression/friction or/and chemistry: I don't know what to you want me to say here? Because this trio of characters/performers are meant to be this spearhead behind this project and for a heavy amount of this film they are just boring and their performances are very much paint by numbers that kind of thing and the only time I felt any kind of connection was when we had two of these characters/performers having the telephone call from two separate buildings and that was it really.

This film receives: 2/10, this film is poor; as you can see it does have some good elements, but as I previously alluded to; this film for large amounts of it is time just doesn't have much going on and so on and so forth, the person I watch some of this content with was falling asleep watching this film; it really is of a poor quality, there are some extra bits and pieces in the closing credits section of still pictures, yet this film does have some awards accredited to its name such as 2 Winners that include but not limited to Street Film Festival, Milan 2000  Street Award Best Feature Film Edward Norton and 6 Nominees which includes but also not limited to Casting Society of America, USA 2000 Artios Award Best Casting for Feature Film, Comedy Avy Kaufman
