Boring and unfunny

This was supposed to be a romantic comedy? Neither funny nor romantic. Over two hours long and completely boring! Ben Stiller tries too hard, Edward Norton flashes between looking goofy and looking smug, and Jenna Elfman is just plain butt-ugly. Avoid... Full review

Edward is the reason the movie is so good. Why ? because He definitely know how to choose in cast a character who is desperately uncertain about something and in a meanwhile maintain firm outlook beyond the others. Look when he... Full review

I love Edward Norton to death. I really do. That's probably why I gave 'Direction' a higher grade than the others. The movie did drag a bit, but he's just so darn cute that it doesn't matter. There was had one... Full review

Damn likeable though you are, Ed, I can't rave about Keeping the Faith - but keep trying.
Edward Norton is one of my favourite actors - but he hasn't become a favourite director with this well meaning, hard-trying and enjoyable but misconceived frolic.
