Quotes:

Seth: I have a question to put to the congregation, if you don't mind, Rabbi. Is God willing to prevent evil, but just not able? Then, he can't be omnipotent, right. Or is he able, but not willing? Then he must be malevolent. Or, is he neither able nor willing? In which case, why do we call him "God"? Why indeed? Why?

The only reason I watched this film is because Courteney Cox appears in this film as (Rachel Luce), " Scream 3" 2000, and does a fantastic acting job at making her character into a real person. Anthony LaPaglia, (Harry Luce),"The Guys",02, does not treat his beautiful wife Rachel the way any man should and pays very little attention to her physical needs. Harry Luce prefers to play with his stringed instruments and tries to keep the Ten Commandments, but does a lousy job. Aidan Quinn,(Seth Warner), "Stolen Summer",'02, plays the game of Ten Commandments, breaking most of the rules and enjoying every minute of it. If you want a silly entertaining film and great actors having lots of fun acting in this crazy film, this is definitely the film for YOU.
