Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Christopher Smith AN EVENING WITH KEVIN SMITH is the type of documentary that film geeks like Quentain Taraintino and Kevin Smith himself wish was available during their late teen years. Informative, hilarious, and just down-right entertaining, it's the perfect solution to what to do on a Saturday night when there is nothing to do at the dorm. Essentially a concert picture, filmmakers J.M. Kenny follows Kevin Smith through college tours across the country, capturing the essence of Kevin Smith, his films, and his fans. Smith talks about a very wide range of topics including Daredevil, Prince, writing an early draft of the Superman Returns script, his first sexual encounter with his wife, fatherhood, Hollywood's biggest egotistical jerks (Tim Burton), and his childhood. Smith speaks with total and complete honesty, treats the audience with respect, and never once sounds like a Hollywood blow-hard. Even those who dislike Smith will have a hard time finding something negative to say about what they see. Highly recommended. 10/10.

FilmOtaku `An Evening with Kevin Smith' is a series of question and answer sessions between Kevin Smith and various college audiences across the country that is incredibly engaging, informative and entertaining. As a fan of Kevin Smith The Man, and not Kevin Smith The Director, I found it to be three and a half hours of sheer bliss. As a matter of fact, I'm not only not a fan of Kevin Smith's movies, (with the definite exception of `Clerks', both the film and the animated series) I absolutely HATE every film that he has produced since his debut, which makes the fact that I found the questions and answers about some of his film projects very interesting so important in epitomizing the greatness of this `documentary'. I envision Kevin Smith's future as being this generation's Martin Scorsese – a filmmaker who is also a scholar and teacher of film. `An Evening with Kevin Smith' showcases Smith's humility, his sense of humor and his `everyman' quality, all factors that make him an endearing and engaging figure. This film is long, but it is definitely a must-see for any film fanatic, whether you like his films or, like me, simply love the man.--Shelly

mysteriouselkdog Man I never thought that a two DVD set of college speeches would be so entertaining. I liked some of Kevin Smith's movies so I decided to rent this and I really liked it a lot. I think the story about the Superman script and Jon Peters was the funniest part about it. The second he said that Jon Peters produced Wild Wild West I started laughing really hard because of... well you have to watch it. It was just funny hearing about the weird people in the industry and his personal stories.

kolyanbogie 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.
