An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder (2006)

An action-packed slog

Absolutely Fantastic

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

An Evening with Kevin Smith was able to show how quick witted Kevin Smith was, and it revealed to me how funny he actually was. That was a really enjoyable DVD. An Evening with Kevin Smith 2 is still good I think, despite the Toronto DVD being a little weak, although there is still enough funny material (Kevin's ideal view of his father...) in it to make it worth watching. The London DVD is definitely worth seeing though, as that is where the audience members don't bring down the show as much with stupid annoying questions, which I think allows Kevin Smith be able to respond with more wit, and comical answers to his questions. And when he goes off on the LOTR trilogy, its hilarious. Any Kevin Smith fan should check this out, as it still made me laugh enough to enjoy this DVD for the most part.

After watching all of Kevin's evenings i have to admit that the first one was funnier, but it was the 'best of'. However, that doesn't make his Toronto and London visits any less entertaining. I felt that he handled Toronto very well because he was giving jokes more appealing to Canadians. What the hell would Americans care about ragging on Tim Hortons. "Tim Hortons? All i know is StarBucks and Krispy Creme, who is this Tim?" Okay, i guess some Americans know about Timmy's, but not a lot. The London evening was a tad off. Mostly because of the culture difference between Americans and the British. Many jokes were made because of misinterpretations of British slang. Some parts may be a bit dry in comedy stylings, but that is just what Kevin brings to the screen and you have to appreciate his comedy stylings to enjoy his work. I thought he was freaking hilarious and i will watch his interviews until my eyes bleed because i seem to learn something new about him every time i watch. oh, and i wish i had a rubber shlong too, you are not alone Mews. :P

J.M. Kenny's follow-up to the best-selling AN EVENING WITH KEVIN SMITH DVD, AN EVENING WITH KEVIN SMITH 2 feels very much like a sequel: repetitious and not nearly as good as the original. The specialness of the first 'Evening' is gone, this time Smith's antics on stage aren't as amusing, most of his stories, unengaged, and the audience a bit less than thrilled. There are some decent nuggets of information here and there, Smith's thoughts on the X-Men trilogy and other movies in general, showing Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back to his child, and dealing with writer's block, but the questions asked make one wonder what type of substances the audience members were under while watching the Q&A sessions. To be honest, I found myself fast-forwarding through a fair portion of the disc. Hardcore Smith fans be warned, this is the least entertaining of anything Smith has ever done.

As the Summary says: An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder (2006) is, in my opinion, Not as funny as the first one - but still very funny.I expected something like the first one, and i got it. And that is it.In An Evening with Kevin Smith 1 (AEWKS-1) there was a lot of funny stories from Hollywood, I.E. the Tim Burton, Jon Peters and Prince stories. Those kind of stories i missed in AEWKS-2 - there was a little about Prince, but that was it. Because the bit Kevin Smith did about Jon Peters was one of the funniest bits I've ever watched, i was kinda hopping for such things.But Thankfully Kevin Smith is also a good Stand-Up-Comedian. So there was a lot to compensate for my false hopes. I really loved his parody of Lord Of the Rings, though he had used it on am American Talk Show and Clerks 2. The whole part in England was the coolest bit - i like Canada also, but the British bit was just so much cooler. Especially when Smith had fun with that British Chick, who worked in a Comic-store..... that is every time Smith improvises, it is funny. He made fun of her accent - and i loved it, because he did in a very friendly way.But i still enjoyed it - long time.I gave the first An Evening with Kevin Smith 10/10.An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder will get 8/10. Because it is still very funny. The only things i didn't like, was that they used to much time on big stand-up-bits, instead of the more improvised things in AEWKS-1. There was too little Hollywood-gossip - but i guess it is because Smith is more political now, and wants to be friends with some in Hollywood, and therefore will not Bash any people, who he can possible work with in the future.8/10 - 'nuff said.Oh Yeah: Snooch To the Nooch.
