Hot Dogma

We start with an old man in front of a skeeball location getting the snot beaten out of him, then a flash to the story. Two ejected angels sent to Wisconsin for the duration have found a loophole that will allow them to return to Heaven unscathed. Seems that no one from above or below wants this to happen. So, several beings with their agenda are coercing Bethany Sloane (Linda Fiorentino) to do their dirty work as she unknowingly is the only one qualified. Will Bethany be able to stop the two angels before it is too late? Or is there a sinister, unnamed force helping the fallen angels to succeed? Some of the actors are just coasting through the movie (probably to pick up some spending cash). But Alan Rickman is excellent as usual and plays the indignant part to the hilt. See him again in “Galaxy Quest,” made the same year. Designed for certain genre tastes (sort of a cross between Ghostbusters and Monty Python with a little Arthur Miller tossed in.) I found it a tad too potty-mouthed and over-obsessed with s-e-x. Other than that, it brings up good premises and a few eternal questions. This is one of those films that needs to be viewed more than once to pick up on the nuances.’
