Film Reviews by Kurtz

Improving on a nineties comedy classic is a hell of a challenge but Kevin Smith manages it in this excellent follow-up. The original cheapo black and white look is gone but the scabrous dialogue about... well, nothing really, still provides the bedrock of the humour. Smith broadens the focus of the film just a touch,changing the setting and bringing in three excellent new characters, including his wife Jen as Dante's fiancée and a brilliant Rosario Dawson who softens her usual vamp act and twinkles gorgeously from behind a pair of specs. Standout for me though,is Jeff Anderson who is appealingly dorky as the central pair's junior co-worker and instantly becomes the butt of Randall's rants.Not one to watch with the in-laws (unless they're into donkey love), but hugely dirty fun. Thanks, Mr. Smith!
