I am a rather large Kevin Smith fan myself and I was hugely disappointed by this movie. It was entirely formulaic and flat. There were moments of Kevin Smith greatness but they were few and far between. For me, at least, George Carlin (not the kid) stole the show. That was his best role to date. This is no where near the movie that Chasing Amy or Clerks was.
P.S. Did anybody else find hugely disconcerting to hear Bruce Springsteen's "My City Of Ruins" as one of the many (too many) musical montages. I don't know if I am being overly sensitive but I thought that was.....inappropriate.
