I finally broke down and bought this after a co-worker talked favorably about the Silent Bob series. I've read the mostly-favorable comments about Kevin Smith movies, so...
Why was I so bored? I don't know. I've worked retail. I like black and white movies - no problem there. I can appreciate having no budget. I can appreciate "dialogue-based" movies - I like to think. I can make allowances for "first films" - congrats on getting any movie made.
I found this movie nearly unwatchable. I will listen to the commentary and the DVD extras, then sell it (with the other dud movies I buy) to a co-worker - cheap.
I'm not going to rate it - who cares. I will say however, that at Amazon (the owner of IMDB and where I buy all my DVD's) a high percentage of all movies have a 4 or 5 star rating, which is statistically impossible. The nature of "average" means there should be as many 1 and 2 star movies out there, and most as a 3 star show. Here at IMDB, people call 7 average.
