It is refreshing to see a romantic comedy that is not overtly manipulative and formulaic. Edward Norton, Ben Stiller and Jenna Elfman give solid performances in their roles. Edward Norton is surprisingly good at comedy--he is wonderful as the priest yearning for romance with the likable Anna. And Ben Stiller--fabulous as the rabbi who is torn between his religion and love. His timing is impeccable--he has the ability to give depth to a character who could seem shallow in another actor's hands.
The script had a good blend of humor and romance, which I believe is the reason why the movie works so well. Great cast, great effort from first-time director Norton, decent script equals an enjoyable movie.
