An Evening with Kevin Smith (2002)

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Kevin Smith has Q&A sessions in 2001 and 2002 with college students at Clark University, Cornell University, Indiana University, Kent State University and University of Wyoming. Jason Mewes joins him in Wyoming. Kevin discusses his films, his life, his other work and his various little media squabbles.Kevin has his humorous quips. The best are the inside Hollywood stories. He takes down producer Jon Peters over the Superman movie. There's his feud with Tim Burton and his dislike of Magnolia. Most of the Hollywood inside stories are mesmerizing like his story about Prince. I also like his Jason Mewes stories. There are lots of high fans and weed humor is a big part. He also gets very personal with one particular story about getting hurt having sex. This is almost 4 hours of really interesting stories and some fun conversations.

Kevin Smith is a talented writer and director. His films resonate with young people because he is a man who doesn't care to speak about whatever comes into his mind. This documentary, taped during some of his appearances at different universities, clearly shows how Mr. Smith and his audiences bond because he speaks their language.The adoring fans are seen rapt in what their idol has to say. He is a man that doesn't b.s. these kids and therefore gains their trust from the moment he first opens his mouth. What comes out of that mouth is some of the funniest and most irreverent talk one has heard in presentations such as these.Kevin Smith is not shy in telling his anecdotes about his experiences with the higher ups of the movie industry that don't seem to tame him, in spite of their efforts to tempt him to come to their side. Never fear, it appears unlikely this funny man would ever cross that line.

Kevin Smith is a genius. He is intelligent, creative and practically a stand-up comedian. This 4-hour long show is really good and funny - but only if you are a fan of his movies.Smith is so good at ridiculing people like Tim Burton and John Peters.Though Burton is a good director, you could not help but laugh at him. Smith makes fun of people in a very funny and intelligent way.The show gives you an insight into the world of Kevin Smith. Kevin Smith is both funny and vulgar, in a informative way.Don't miss this show for anything in the world. It is also very popular outside USA, and that tells you how good it is.

Clerks is a very funny movie, if you can overlook the grainy, B&W film stock, but Kevin Smith's movies to date after Clerks have been regrettable, in my opinion. Perhaps it's just a matter of taste: I don't like his movies. I don't even want to watch them to the end. However, I admire someone who launched a career from a cheaply made B&W movie like Clerks.An Evening with Kevin Smith is much more entertaining and worthwhile than his movies. He's a gifted raconteur and immediately establishes an excellent rapport with his audience.
