    Not seen footage is worth it for Kevin Smith fans

    People writing reviews seem to have missed that this was put together by Malcolm Ingram and not Kevin. If you are a Kevin Smith fan this is for you. If you are not, haters back off (stop spamming the reviews with your hatred this footage is not for you). Thank you Kevin and thank you also Jay Mewes for all you do - FANS appreciate it.

    Very disappointing

    I was looking forward to this documentary because I've very much enjoyed listening to Kevin Smith speak in the spoken word talks he's done. THE GUY CAN TALK !

    But there is so very little of his great storytelling here - and I suppose if you really like his movies, you may enjoy learning more about him and listening to people talk about him - but I just found this so boring.

    There is not much more I can say: I'd SO much prefer to listen to him speak and tell the entertaining stories that I've seen him tell - and they are much, much more fun to listen to than this drab, lifeless 'tribute' to the greatness of this man.

    DO NOT READ 1 STAR REVIEWS

    If you don't like Kevin, that's fine. But as far as I can see, I am seeing people who have nothing better to do... so what do they do? They 1 star amazing doc's like this. Why? Because they're bored and have nothing better to do and they like down-scoring movies.

    That being said, the contribution to cinema that Kevin Smith has made, is more than significant. Maybe it wasn't your cup of tea, but most likely the people who write these reviews do not know what it takes to make a film. Kevin Smith does, the producers of this Documentary sure do, so don't listen to those people who have no idea what they are talking about. It's a great documentary. And if your an aspiring filmmaker, there is testimony from great indie filmmakers in this one and the praises they sing for Kevin Smith. So again, ignore the 1 stars, they're just pathetic, sad, angry little trolls.

    Just stop.

    Kevin Smith just like Ric Flair had his time. Now he just needs to go away and stop talking.

    This fake humility hidden behind a blabbermouth who keeps going over the same points and just so desperate to be relevant was worn out years ago.

    Moving documentary about a not-so-fat-anymore-man they did good

    I've been a Kevin Smith fan since I was five. I remember vividly watching Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back with my parents and as the credits rolled being told "Now remember, Chris, you can't repeat any of this to grandma and papa."

    As a life long fan, this documentary is an excellent love letter to Kevin Smith the filmmaker, Kevin Smith the podcaster, Kevin Smith the icon, and Kevin Smith the person. From Jersey to Hollywood, it's been an emotional ride and Malcom Ingram certainly captured all of it.

    Clerk is a quintessential viewing for any fan of Smith. Clerk will make you laugh. Clerk will make you cry.
