Editorial Reviews: To know the origin of "Snoochie-Boochies," you must spend iAn Evening with Kevin Smith/i. The Jersey-bred auteur of low-budget comedy proves equally adept as an uncensored raconteur, regaling five college audiences--his most devoted demographic--in this two-disc compilation of lively QA. Sporting his trademark slacker garb, Smith occasionally bites the loyal, sometimes moronic hands that feed him (as a result, audience participation is drop-dead hilarious), but he's arguably the most publicly and personally honest film-maker to survive the insanity of Hollywood. His best stories lift the veil of show-biz decorum, describing absurd meetings with studio executives over his ill-fated screenplay iSuperman Lives/i; razzing the artsy pretensions of director Tim Burton; or exposing Prince (who hired him to direct a never-completed documentary) as a self-absorbed Jesus freak. These attacks aren't baseless; Smith's too smartly good-natured to provoke without purpose, and with an onstage visit by Jason Mewes ("Jay" to Smith's "Silent Bob"), this ribald, sharply assembled iEvening/i compares favorably to Richard Pryor with its outrageous blend of comedy and candour. i--Jeff Shannon/i

If you`ve ever been to a QA, you will know the drill, if not then basically its a lecture of sorts, with members of the audience invited to ask the host all manner of questions.pSmith has a habit of becoming engrossed in his answers which lead to mammoth stories being told. Some are very factual, and most are very interesting. Theres a lot of stuff here, that you wouldn't normally hear elsewhere, so that in itself makes for interesting viewing. He has some very interesting things to say about John Peters, Prince and Tim Burton, actually I`m suprised he was allowed to put this onto DVD without facing some form of lawsuit(You know what hollywood is like!)pTo sum it up, I`d say buy it, even without the nerdish facts and figures, its a good `ole yarn about a lot of things. Does exactly what it says on the tin! July 20, 2005 Truman (Manchester) 11 out of 12 found this review helpful Let me make this very clear: if you like Kevin Smith's films, you will really love this DVD. If you don't, I wouldn't recommend it unless you are willing to let a lot of material fly over your head. Kevin spends loads of time talking about the characters and plots of his various films - all of which is interesting and funny - but there's also other stuff which is just gold-dust. His account of how he was drafted in to write a script for a new Superman film is just brilliant: the producer tells him that he must follow these rules: 1) Superman cannot fly, 2) Superman cannot wear his costume, and 3) At some point Superman must fight a giant spider. I challenge anybody not to find this section of the DVD worth its price alone! Almost as good is when he recalls his production of a DVD with the music artist Prince... In fact, forget what I said at the beginning of this review: you HAVE to buy this DVD, whether you're a fan or not. Just watch it January 3, 2006 T. S. Marsh (Cambridge, MA) 10 out of 12 found this review helpful Living in the UK, this will probably be the closest you get to seeing one of Mr. Smiths lectures. If you are even remotely interested in making films then this is a must see. If you watched the extras on any of his movies, you will love this DVD. If you just like hearing an intelligent, and successful guy talk passionately about his job and life with style and humour, watch this DVD. pThis is one of the few non-film DVDs I have watched more than once, and not felt like I was wasting my time. More stand up than lecture October 19, 2004 P. B. Hall (West Sussex, UK.) 8 out of 9 found this review helpful Smith entertains large halls of US university students in these edited highlights of his QA lecture tour. Obscenely conversational and confident throughout; Kevin cheerfully humiliates several of his young, star-struck inquisitors, phones his colleages on-stage, and delivers hilarious anecdotes that would be tediously long from anyone else. Essential viewing for anybody familiar with his films. Includes an appearance by Jason Mewes. Really entertaining April 16, 2006 David Welsh (Oslo, Norway) 7 out of 8 found this review helpful QA with one of America's leading independent filmmakers. Kevin is really entertaining, and comes out with some great anecdotes. Definitely recommended if you enjoyed his films. Showing reviews 1-5 of 6 1 2 Next »
