And once again, Kevin Smith finds himself to use his movie as a platform to criticise other movies or franchises...basically if a letterboxed user was a director. This is what it would come out. Does anybody have Kevin Smith's user on here?
The actors have their limited charm in this, but they were the correct choices. This is thin and forgettable.
New Jersey teen Brian (Austin Zajur) rekindles with his crush Melody (Siena Agudong) as plans are made to sneak into the 4:30 showing of a R-rated film together (hence the title). In the meanwhile, he hangs out with his best friends on route to a day at the movies. Here friendships and a possible relationship will be tested by egomaniac manager Mike (Ken Jeong).
I'll give a cast of young actors credit for making their characters feel down to earth if nothing else. However a story tracing the directors early life is equal parts cliched and meandering. With nothing new to say, very few comedy setups it has the entertainment factor of an afterschool special and about as much emotional depth as one too.
This isn't about the 80's neither. Ditto society's affection for going to the movies (kids are sneaking into films they didn't pay for, but hey that's okay?). What does it have to say about growing up or interactions with the opposite sex? Nothing you haven't saw or heard done better. It's coda? Awfully close to self-aggrandizing as in "Here's my life! Look at me! I made it in Hollywood after all!".
A lot of critics think 'The 4:30 Movie' is a move in the right direction for Smith and I couldn't disagree more. This was a tale in boredom and eventually I gave up hope it would get better. A handful of cameos don't elevate things. With nothing insightful, no killer dialog and few laughs the hardcore fans are saying this is a return to form. It really ain't.

- WissenswertesKevin Smith intended for the film to be rated PG-13, but it received an R, primarily due to jokes about masturbation. Unlike with many of his other films, he was not successful in getting the film to a lower rating.
- PatzerThe MPAA movie trailer rating screen shown before the trailer for Sister Sugar Walls is the incorrect one, being the one that is currently in use by the MPAA. The one that was used by the MPAA in 1986, when The 4:30 Movie takes place, was a still green frame which just had the sentence: "The Following Preview Has Been Approved For All Audiences by the Motion Picture Association of America."

Hot Usher: Most people come to the movies to escape their lives, but people like us, we come here because movies make life make sense. Out here, man, world is full of lies. But in there, they tell the lie that tells the truth. And the truth about you and me is we are filmmakers. We just have not made our film. Yet.
