A rabbi (Ben Stiller) and a Catholic priest (Edward Norton), long-time friends, both fall in love with a girl (Jenna Elfman) they knew from childhood.
The film's premise sounds like the opening of a corny joke, and this is an unashamedly old-fashioned set-up; Bing Crosby would not have been out of place playing this priest. For all that, it's hugely appealing, Stiller and Norton trade quips engagingly, and it's a genuinely feel-good couple of hours. The film opened at #3 at the U.S. Box office, behind 28 Days starring Sandra Bullock and Rules Of Engagement starring Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson.
