I enjoyed this DVD, but I'm not sure I would have if I wasn't a
huge Kevin Smith fan. Basically, he stands on a stage and just talks. Sometimes
it's funny, and sometimes it's not. He's story teller, not a stand up comic. He
talks a lot about movies, and to me that's fascinating. But if you expect it to
be as funny as his movies, you may be disappointed.
Kevin Smith's movies, Twitter feed, and this DVD, all have a lot of gross stuff
and bad language, so please don't watch this if you are the type to get offended
by those things. He has two separate stories involving his going to the
bathroom. It's not all about that, though. He talks about being thrown off
Southwest Airlines for being fat, and another time he was detained going across
to Canada; and another time police showed up at his home. He also talks about
working with George Carlin, and his death; and working with Bruce Willis. He
also takes a few questions from the audience. Some of those are worth watching.
One was so bad that I had to fast-forward through it.
This DVD definitely gives you your money's worth. All of the features are really
long. This goes on for hours and hours.I didn't find it boring, though, but then
again I like him a lot, and his movies, and film-making in general. My only
disappointment is that it is not closed-captioned for the hearing-impaired.

KEVIN SMITH: TOO FAT FOR 40 Blu-ray(tm) and DVD
Poking fun at his much-publicized brouhaha with Southwest Airlines,
writer, director, actor and ardent podcaster Kevin Smith declares
himself too fat for his 40th birthday in a hilarious show before his
rabidly loyal fans. Filmed at the Count Basie Theatre in Smith's
hometown of Red Bank, New Jersey, this comedy special spotlights not
only Smith's self-deprecating sense of humor, but also his fondness
(and
true gift) for spinning a good yarn. Tracking the turbulent year in
his
life in which he was tossed from the sky, Smith makes with the funny
but
still manages to ask the hard questions - like "Whatchoo talkin'
'bout,
Willis?"

features!
Special features:

SMODIMATIONS: SEASON ONE DVD
Since 2007, filmmaker and pop culture loudmouth Kevin Smith and his
longtime producer and friend Scott Mosier have been littering the
Internet with hundreds of hours of dopey stoner storytelling and
chitchat called SModcast. Now Canadian animator Steve Stark cartoons
the
weirdest and funniest conversational snippets of that chatter into
SModimations!
The laugh-out-loud-funny first season of SModimations has now been
edited together with brand-new material to create a seamless animated
feature film experience tailored for both the Smith-obsessed as well
as
total newbies! Strap on a diaper and wet yourself laughing while
Kevin and
Scott take you under the seas to meet an aquatic superzero, use black
magic and old-timey boxing to fight the Rapture and cast the spell
that
lets young wizards everywhere slut it up with zero repercussions,
"FORGETICUS!"
Bonus features:
* Jay & Silent Bob Get Old and excerpts from Hollywood Babble-On
