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

`An Evening With Kevin Smith' is the latest of director Kevin Smith's works. Smith is a renowned Indie filmmaker and New Jersey native made famous by his independent film, `Clerks.' Smith speaks out at several college campuses in a Question and Answer format on many topics of interest to college students from his five films and religion, to sex and sexual preference.Covering two discs and almost four hours, `Evening' will have even non-fans of Smith rolling on the floor with laughter. It is a nonstop express train to comedy-ville that actually delivers what it promises. Smith's frankness and humor allows him to touch on the touchy subjects of religion, sex, and sexual preference without being overly offensive.Being a fan of Smith and his work I immediately purchased this DVD as soon as possible. However, that sounds easier than the actual process since I had to find a store that heard of it and also had it in stock. In the end I found it in the Special Interest section at Best Buy for $22.99, a bargain as most double discs run at a higher price than that.True fans who have seen all of his films will enjoy `Evening' more than the average viewer and will not be offended by the plethora of `dick and fart jokes' that Smith's comedy is normally based on. Fan will be depressed near the end of the second disc when they reach scene #39 where Smith discusses the future of Jay and Silent Bob.The tomfoolery of such films as `Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' continues and even goes up a notch with the inclusion of actor Jason Mewes and producer Scott Mosier (via telephone) and of the student audience. Smith takes the time to make several phone calls on student's behalf and even attempts to get a student their job back after losing it in order to attend the performance.Despite all the positives going for `Evening' it is not for everyone. People who are easily offended, don't enjoy `dick and fart jokes' or disliked Smith's films will want to avoid this DVD at all costs.For the rest of us, the DVD is a great addition to our personal film collections and is a must have for any Smith fan. The DVD has some superb editing; features bonus trailers, is subtitled in English, French, and Spanish, and is in wide screen format. I highly recommend this and can't wait for the release of Smith's next film, `Jersey Girl'.

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.
