Saw sneak preview last. Fairly well-attended, and a good number of the jokes got a great response (loved the "N.W.P." bit), but honestly I can't remember the last time I paid my hard-earned duckets to see a film this bad.

If this was Kevin's attempt at laying these characters to rest or just a means of exploiting what must have been tons of Weinstein inve$tment dollars, more power to him. Otherwise, this came off as it was written by a 16 year-old Mallrats fan or like something out of the limp SNL writers pool at NBC.

What gives? How do we go from Kevin Smith, auteur to Kevin Smith frat-boy film maker in such short order? If View Askew wanted to fill 90-mins worth of screen time with self-referential gags and dated pop culture dreck (Star Wars...again? Scooby-Doo?), couldn't they have 15, 20 years when the nostalgia factor might have made this a more forgivable effort? Oh well, there's still the Dogma DVD that I haven't got to yet. I guess I could bide my time with that while Kevin does his time back at the drawing board.
