It was allright. But I came out disappointed. I love Kevin Smith's previous works Chasing Amy and Dogma and I got a lot of respect for his making Clerks, but this movie had no substance whatsoever. I wasn't expecting much but I expected more than an hour and 40 minutes of dick and fart jokes and constant use of the F-Word and pathetic annoying attempts at sexually exploiting the 4 jewel thieves. Most jokes dragged out a little too much.

Don't get me wrong. It was funny in a lot of places. I know that's not saying much considering there are movies out like American Pie 2 and Rat Race that don't require pot to be hysterical. But I also know it looks like Kevin Smith didn't put much thought into this.

I especially don't like how it happened to have a hollywood ending. If you've seen everything else you want to see and really feel like seeing a movie then see it.

And I don't care how small the budget was. I have fast forwarded less in pornographic movies. Garbage plot, garbage dialog, severely mediocre acting. I can't begin to describe how stupid the dialog was. And oooh the shocking plot twist! It was quite a technique, the way the severely overplayed, horrible dialog would foreshadow the climax, if you could watch it that long.

If I didn't live right in the neighborhood it was shot in, I would have turned it off half way through.

And I watched the movie with an optimistic attitude.
