OK, since Chasing Amy was fucking awesome I saw Clerks (very good) and Mallrats (passable). Also saw Dogma when it came out (disappointing).

But again, since Chasing Amy was so damn good I had to see this movie. And, well, lots of the jokes were funny. And the in humor was great. But the movie really needed a point or a real plot.

I'm too old for this (37, yeah, I know.) I hope Kevin makes a lot of money from this because it's better than most teen comedies I've been subjected to. But overall I'm really looking to that "Chasing Amy like drama" about fatherhood that Kevin's been promising.

Also: Am I the ONLY Amy-head that was disappointed that this movie did not resolve the action of Chasing Amy...which I could have sworn Kevin said he was going to do?

All in all, a good movie, worth seeing a few times. But Kevin's done better. And I hope he'll do so again.
