Extras: Audio Commentary by director Kevin Smith and members of the cast and crew, Deleted Scenes with introduction by Kevin Smith,  Alternate Ending, "Soul Asylum" Music Video

To enjoy this movie, one needs to overlook the black and white-ness, the cruddy acting and lets face it, the overall amateur feel of the thing. A lot to get past, I know. Instead, focus on the brilliant, though crude, humor. This one was hilarious the first time I saw it, but upon further viewing, the less and less I liked it. Though true for most films, it applies especially to this one, since it's dialogue is all it has going for it.

Extras here are just ok for this low-budget film. We got a few funny deleted scenes as well as a surprising alternate ending. There was also a music video, the theatrical trailer and some film recommendations. The ensemble commentary track was a gem as it was highly entertaining listening to these guys interact with one another. Speaking with director Kevin Smith were most of his crew and a few of the cast, the highlight of which is a very drunk Jason Mewes.

A must-see, especially to discover how it ties in with Smith's other films.


The Movie: 7/10
The Extras: 4/10

Recommendation: Rent This One
