This brings a very human side to a person who asually plays a mute character. Very funny and really Jon Peters is clearly insane, clinically.

Well, being a big fan of Kevin Smiths movies, a friend let me borrow this 2 DVD set. This was the first one I saw. I actually saw the first "Evening with" after I saw the 3rd one. It's helpful to watch the Q&A's in order, but I digress. If you like Kevin Smith's 'witty satire' as one of his fans called it in the first Q&A DVD, you'll definitely like this! The only thing was is that I bought the first Q&A from Amazon and I was about to buy this DVD set when I saw it at Big Lots! for [...]. My friend just got Zack & Miri Make A Porno for [...].
Anyway, this is a great DVD set that I enjoy watching often. There are also hidden 'easter eggs' on the menu screens. I had to toggle the arrow keys on my controller all different ways to find them. Those are all 'deleted' scenes.
So, pick it up today if you like to laugh!
Almost better at standup than directing! September 7, 2009

I see that Amazon is cross-posting reviews of "An Evening with Kevin Smith" 1 and 2, so I'll just cover both movies here.
I am maybe typical of a portion of Kevin Smith's audience. I saw "Clerks", loved it, and have seen a few others (Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) and didn't really love them as much.
But I must say I was surprised at how entertaining Smith is in these movies. The common points between Smith the director and Smith the public speaker -- or maybe standup comic would be more accurate -- are the sophomoric humor, cheap sex jokes and gratuitous swearing. But these things often seem forced and contrived in his movies, where they are likely to be delivered in stilted dialog right out of the George Lucas school of "no one talks like that" screenwriting. In person, however, he actually turns out to be a naturally gifted and engaging speaker. If you can manage not to be offended by his sometimes offensive humor, Smith is incredibly charming, likable and funny on stage.
The first movie, "An Evening with Kevin Smith" was filmed at five or six different universities, with excerpts from the various shows spliced together into a four-hour movie spanning two DVDs. His half-hour take on a disastrously weird attempt to film a documentary for Prince is one of the most fascinating and hilarious things I've seen, and his recounting of a time working on a script for a Superman movie is also fabulous. His excruciatingly detailed account of how he met and first had sex with his wife may not be for the faint of heart. But as these topics suggest, Smith doesn't limit his talk to his own movies -- which means that even if you're not a fan of Smith the director, you might find some very enjoyable moments from Smith the speaker/standup comic.
The second movie, "An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder" was filmed in Toronto and London, and here the shows are presented on separate discs, not spliced together. It is more of the same idea -- Smith talking about his work, his life, Hollywood and anything else people can think to ask him. In Toronto, one of my favorite bits again was his follow-up explanation of the fallout from the Prince narrative on the first DVD set. The London show on disc 2 really had some of the funniest moments I've ever seen. I was laughing harder than I have in some time.
These movies have put Kevin Smith into new perspective for me, and I'm going to watch his other movies now. I actually grew to like him a lot more by watching these. This might not be the case for everyone, especially people offended by swearing and sometimes gratuitously sexual humor.
