Customer Reviews

Two wonderfully, frighteningly honest stories
"Clerks" and "Chasing Amy" are the two intelligent comedies that have made Kevin Smith one of the premiere independent filmmakers of our generation, and I feel that anyone who likes Kevin Smith, anyone who likes film or theatre, or just generally anyone who thinks they could use a little insight into a world of characters so bizarre, they can only be referred to as realistic...Read this book. I give it ten or twelve stars!

Kevin Smith is one of, if not the best director ever.
First off, anyone who sees Kevin's movies realizes that they are raunchy and disgusting, so if you go out and see one of his movies because it happened to be a commercial success, then I feel sorry for you. I personally find the Jersey Trilogy to be the greatest set of movies ever, and this book covers the best (Clerks) and the different one (Chasing Amy). Different? you ask, well if you think about it, it is unlike his other movies. Kevin's movies are great. Not just for the dialogue but for the whole thing. Kevin Smith rules the world of directors in my eyes and I am definitely looking forward to Dogma, especially since Jay and Silent Bob are almost the main characters.

EXCELLENT!! Has all the scenes that were cut from the movies
If you've watched Clerks or Chasing amy and liked them even a little, GET THIS BOOK!!! It has the cut scenes from both movies (ie the scenes that didn't make it into the final theatre ed.) You might be wondering why i gave this a 9 and not a 10. This is simply because I was distraught that the Mallrats screenplay was not included. I mean, how can you have 2 of the Jersey Trilogy screenplays and not have the third? Oh well, perfection is hard to attain, but this comes pretty damn close.
