: Mewes wrangler!
: I was at the Rochester Sneak. Room was half full but it was full of fans.
: The best part of the evening was the 20 or so hardcore fans who stayed til
: the VERY end knowing something was up singing along to "I got High" during
: the credits.
: I went with a guy who has seen Clerks and Amy and a guy who has only seen
: Dogma. I really liked it, friend one enjoyed it and friend two kept asking
: what we were laughing at. Pretty good response from the crowd but the
: general vibe going out was that people were slightly disappointed and it
: would be a "wait for the video" recommend. This comment actually came from
: a guy in a Clerks t-shirt. There are a handful of really funny sequences
: and the in jokes were good but all the nods to the audience and actors
: smiling through the scenes (Affleck and Damon especially) was too much for
: my tastes. It was like watching a Sienfeld episode from the first couple
: of years where Jerry was smiling through a funny scene and you knew it was
: like the 20th take and the best they had.
: Lot of gay jokes but most were funny (esp. Biggs and Van Der Beek
: discussing the "gay huddle") and in keeping with the characters. Scarface
: levels of fu*k and bitch. I'm not stranger to the blue language but this
: was like a Red Foxx tape and seemed awkward coming from EVERY character in
: the flick.
: One last comment, I would liked to have seen Jay make at least one genuine
: sweet gesture to better justify Justice falling for him.
: Definite see for everyone here obviously but probably not a date flick or a
: great one to initiate a "new to ViewAskew" fan with. Great way to cap off
: the series by tying up loose ends but I don't think this will become many
: hard core fans new favorite.
