OBVIOUSLY, I like this movie... However...
Even if you've seen only ONE of his movies and barely snickered at all of the delightful moments, I pose a dare to you: Watch 30 minutes of this and then stop.
Shooting from the hip with the same sort of brash bluntness of his characters, Kevin fields questions and reveals truths about the movies you love... or maybe hate. Either way, it is terribly entertaining. Smith's ability to draw you in with stupid stories is absolutely intoxicating. Whether it's how he knew Jay was funny or how he met Prince, they are all gems. Yes, it's 3 hours and 45 minutes, but it's a great movie to watch with a bunch of friends.
I breathlessly await Jersey Girl, Kevin. Keep up the good work. Enjoy filmphiles.
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.

- TriviaAt his performance at Cornell, Smith began by stating that he would stay longer than anyone else in the auditorium, because he didn't have class the next day. In fact, he kept going for 4-5 hours, only stopping when his wife forced him to.
- GoofsDuring the Kent State questionnaire we see students sitting on the floor between the aisles due to over selling the amount of ticketed seats. This is a serious violation of the fire code and a safety hazard, therefore the fire Marshall could have shut down the event, the event organizers and the university officials should be aware of this.

[explaining his "theory" of how he was commissioned to write for "Superman Reborn"]
Kevin: Back in '96 and '97, when I was commissioned by Warner Brothers to write a script for a new Superman movie. And how it came about *I* think was that somewhat saw Mallrats and watched Brodie and T.S. talking about the Kryptonite condom and someone thought "This guy seems to know a lot about Superman." So I got called in for a meeting at Warner Bros.. They say, "We have three projects that you can rewrite." At this point, the script for Chasing Amy had started circulating. People were like, "He can write!" So they offered me some rewrite work. They said, "We have three projects." I said, "What are they?" "One is a remake of an Outer Limits episode entitled 'The Architects of Fear'. The other is 'Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian'." I was like, "Didn't we say all we needed to say with the first Beetlejuice? Must we go tropical?" And the third was a project called Superman Reborn. That's what interested me. I was like, "You guys are gonna make another Superman? I'd love to do that!" And they said, "Well, that's a long shot. I can't give you that right here in the room. That has to go through lots of people because it's a big franchise. " I said, "What do I have to do? Whose fucking dick do I need to suck to get this job?" And thankfully, he didn't say his.
