Sorry, this movie sucks

So much average

Sadly Over-hyped

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Again Smith Makes A DVD Strictly For People Like Me Or People Who Enjoy His Humor. My All Time Favourite Part Is When That Idiot Criticized Kevin Smith & He Asked About Smith Owning 10million & He Replied "No I Am Fat & I Buy A Lot Of DVD's & I Am Also Married...Don't Get Married Which Doesn't Seem To Be A Real Problem For You" Now I Am Not Known For Being Intelligent But To Insult Kevin Smith Is The Equivillent Of Poking A Bee Hive With A Stick, It's Stupid To Even Think About Doing It. Another Favourite Part Is When He Did A Review For "Dora The Explorer" I Know The Show Because When Hellboy 2 Came Out They Ran Hellboy 1 On TV & I Fell Asleep The First Time I Saw It...Guess What Was On 12 Hours Later? So I Will Vouch For Kevin & Will Say Its An Amazing Show If Your Stonned. The One Thing I Want Kev To Do Is To Make Jay & Silent Bob Have One Last Movie. I Liked The Canada Disc But Am Not A Huge Fan Of The London Disc...I Fell Asleep In That & Guess What Was On 12 Hours Later?...Just Kidding I Only Watched DTE Once & Once Is Enough! But I Gave Up On The London Disc...Take My Advice If You Hear The First Joke & Laugh In That Disc Then You Will Like It...The Canada Disc Is Better...So If You Want My Opinion You Should Save The Best Til Last.1/2 1/2 Whole, Shuffle, Hide Behind A Rock.

Kevin Smith. When you hear that name, you think of Jay and Slient Bob, Dante and Randall, Holden and Alissa, Mooby's and the Quik Stop.With Evening Harder, you're not disappointed. Smith takes us on a roller-coaster ride of sexual innuendos, rapid-fire wisecracks, and riffs on Tim Horton's, writer's block, and organized religion.Guest shots by Jason Mewes, a special delivery of Timbits from an audience member, and Smith's take on how *he* would have written the Passion of the Christ round out just *one* disc of pure Kevin Smith gold.Parents beware: this is *not* for the kids, nor is it for anyone that can't stomach a good solid dig at religion.

After watching all of Kevin's evenings i have to admit that the first one was funnier, but it was the 'best of'. However, that doesn't make his Toronto and London visits any less entertaining. I felt that he handled Toronto very well because he was giving jokes more appealing to Canadians. What the hell would Americans care about ragging on Tim Hortons. "Tim Hortons? All i know is StarBucks and Krispy Creme, who is this Tim?" Okay, i guess some Americans know about Timmy's, but not a lot. The London evening was a tad off. Mostly because of the culture difference between Americans and the British. Many jokes were made because of misinterpretations of British slang. Some parts may be a bit dry in comedy stylings, but that is just what Kevin brings to the screen and you have to appreciate his comedy stylings to enjoy his work. I thought he was freaking hilarious and i will watch his interviews until my eyes bleed because i seem to learn something new about him every time i watch. oh, and i wish i had a rubber shlong too, you are not alone Mews. :P

When I first saw pieces of An Evening with Kevin Smith, I could not stop watching. It was just too funny for words, and just so engrossing that the obnoxiously long running time did not seem like too much of an issue. Of course, I never did manage to watch it start to finish, but all of the parts I watched made me want to. So at Christmas time, knowing full well that a follow-up disc had been released, I acquired both DVDs. But instead of watching and finishing off the first one, I sat down and watched all of the second film, An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder. And like many other people, I was pretty disappointed.Whereas the original film was more of a compilation of "best of" clips from various college Q&A visits Smith had made all over the United States, the second film is two full visits he made abroad with no edits or cuts. The first disc encompasses a visit to Toronto, and the second to London. Smith entertains the audience with plenty of stories, and he answers many questions that just about any other film director would shy away from. Woody Allen this man is not.I think the reason this film does not work on the same level as the first film is the fact that it is just two of his appearances as opposed to a handful. The first was a compilation of all sorts of clips, and this just goes straight through both "concerts" from beginning to end. For that reason, it just does not hold up the same way. There are many boring lulls throughout, and at many times, Smith just goes totally off topic and rambles about the stupidest things. There is a whole ten-minute bit during the London appearance where he talks with two audience members about pick-up lines, and it is just awkward because we know he is trying to crack jokes, but he just is not spot-on. If the first film taught us anything, it is that Smith is great in small doses, because when he is on, he really is on. But this film proves the fact that he cannot stay on for an entire two-hour span.Instead, we are treated to interesting and intriguing stories few and far between. Yes, Smith talks throughout, but he just looks and sounds both lazy, and incredibly bored. Never is there a real sense that Smith desperately wants to be at either appearance. It just feels like he wants to answer a few questions, grab the cheque and take off. Very little of the conviction he had on the previous film, or even his interview and candid footage from his feature film DVDs is apparent on the stage here. He instead, has devotion for some of the material he talks about, and then quite literally, looks like he could care less at the more pointless stuff.An audience member asks him early on to give him some pointers about writing a screenplay, and asks if he in fact, will take a read at it. He then goes into a lengthy speech about how lazy he is when he writes scripts, and how he really does not want to read the guy's script because of that same laziness. It both felt heartbreaking and incredibly selfish from a director who really works as a result of the fan appreciation, and really made me rethink how great a director Smith really is. Parts like these show up a few times, and makes Smith look more like a pompous jerk than the hilarious and fan driven guy he really is (or comes off as).As for the stories themselves, as previously stated, they are interesting but few and far between. We are treated to stories about his wife's pictorial in Playboy, his newly found fatherhood and his fondness for Dora the Explorer. These three stand out in my mind as particularly funny stories, and unfortunately, there is a real lack of them on these two discs. The first film was practically overflowing with hilarious and memorable stories, and this one had me really scratching my head attempting to come up with some of the stories that he tells that were actually worthwhile.It is great to see Jason Mewes make an appearance at both venues and talk for a bit, but even he cannot save Smith from the boredom that sets in not too long after each concert starts. You can tell he is stretching things out here and there, and as said before, it just does not have anywhere near as much strength as the first film. This film just cannot stand up on its own, and unfortunately, is a disappointment. It may be a worthwhile look for people who really like Smith, but for everyone else, just stick with the first film.6/10.
