Hello Its Me Again I Present AN EVENING WITH KEVIN SMITH The Best Stand-Up Comedy I Have Seen Like Ones Like Ricky Gervais Doing It Is Not Funny & The Audience Asks Kevin Questions & He Answers With Funny Answers Like With The Faith Of Dogma That Some Guy Asked Him He Replied With A Funny Answer(& Here It Is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UDoIBgiUAQ) Yeah Its Also Funny With His Superman Reborn Story He Was Going To Do It With John Peters The Guy Who Did Another Film About A Year Later It Was Called "Wild Wild West" & Guest Appearance From Jason Mewes & He Talks About His Comic Book "Chasing Dogma" Which Is In Between Chasing Amy & Dogma. That Smith Is A Funny Guy. I Only Give It 9 Because Its A Little Boring When Your Watching Stuff Like That Prince Story & It Gets To The Stage Where Its Disgusting When He's Telling People About How He Met His Wife With His (CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENCORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED) & He Tells Them Thats His Worst Sexual Experience. Anyway If I Was In America Near The Places Where He Was Talking I'd Go & Ask "Are You Even Supposed To Be Here Today?" Then I'd Ask "Why No More Jay & Bob Movies?" But Anyway This Is Extremely Funny & Interesting Because You Find Out Stuff About The Legend Behind Jay & Silent Bob & The Comic Book Series Guardian Devil (Yeah I Admit It Thats My Favourite Daredevil Series) "Snooch To The Nooch" Rating: 9/10

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.

Before any Kevin Smith fans get bent out of shape, I think Smith's films range from simply amusing (Mallrats) to laugh-out-loud hilarious (Clerks/Dogma). I even think that Smith has some very insightful turns (Chasing Amy/Jersey Girl).That being said, simply watching this man stand and talk to an audience is the funniest thing I've ever seen him involved in. The stories of events that have actually happened in Kevin Smith's life, at least as told from his perspective, are more interesting and hilarious than any Hollywood script I can think of in recent years.If Smith decided to stop making movies, I honestly think he could have a career as a spoken word artist along the lines of Spalding Gray. I don't care what you think about Kevin Smith as a filmmaker, this is well worth checking out.

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.
