I declare Kevin Smith to be better than Nickelback. Please accept me.

I've only watched Chasing Amy but I liked that movie a lot, probably more than I would have had I seen it at any other time. Considering Smith's reputation and what little I know of the other movies, I don't think I will see them or that I would like them better than it were I to.

I would highly recommend to try out Clerks.  It's nerdy, low humor, but it establishes some great characters. It's less than two hours.  If you like Clerks, then you might like some other Kevin Smith.  If you think Clerks is okay, or less than okay, then just give up on him.

Having watched all of these I feel qualified to point out that 80% of you are wrong! :)

If you check the official list, you will see that Clerks is not only Kevin Smith's best film, but it is also the 10th best film of all time!!

Massively overrated filmmaker that friends still spurn me to watch despite pretty much hating everything (to varying degrees) after the first CLERKS.
