A brilliant comedy by Kevin Smith! All the characters are as real as in ‘Clerks’, the dialogs of the movie are unparalleled. The explosions of laughter during the movie are ensured, and in the finale even the most serious moviegoers will probably bust a gut. I watched the movie literally just now – I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I didn’t waste my time. This is not a corny comedy with a couple of funny moments – it’s just a comedy show!
Like most of Kevin Smith’s early movies it wasn’t widely acclaimed. Personally, I watched it after seeing the director’s most universally recognized masterpiece films – ‘Dogma’ and ‘Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back’. This movie, like almost all ViewAskew movies, clarifies others, for example, after it Jay’s expressions are clearer, and some of the jokes in the subsequent movies.
The acting deserves a separate ode. Jason Lee is simply peerless, probably his best role. He played his character perfectly, and the character itself is very funny. It seems that he played himself. Affleck also perfectly played a typical scumbag. What is noteworthy, he is even in the frame is not often. Other actors also played well, but hardly any of them will be remembered by the viewer – the whole blanket was pulled by these two, yes Jay and Bob, Kevin Smith’s signature touch. They are featured here quite often, and their behavior can’t help but bring a smile.
I guess the reality of the situation and characters is the main thing about Kevin Smith’s movies. If not for the abundance of humor, successfully balancing on the edge of vulgarity, his early creations (‘Chasing Amy’, ‘Clerks’, again ‘Supermarket Party People’) could be considered documentaries. The movie is filled with dialog so much so that by the end we feel like we know the characters personally.
The film is very funny, and the humor is not dumb American humor, but rather humor that is not standard for the States. The main jokes are everywhere – in situations, in dialogues, and in the behavior of the characters. This movie is worth watching for all lovers of good comedy.
