Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been watching Kevin's films since seeing Clerks in the theater, when it first came out. They've never been masterpieces (and that's fine); there have been highs and lows along the way (sometimes that's part of the charm), but this latest installment is unbearable. It beats the viewer over the head with "sly" references and nods to all of the earlier movies... constantly! All the while, it thinks that it's being clever. In reality, it's ham-fisted and clumsy. You can frequently see the punchline coming long before the joke has even been set up or told. Also, Kevin crammed so many cameos into the movie that he eats up half the running time, just giving each one of his friends a few minutes of screen-time and overworked dialogue that rarely lands. And, if all of that isn't enough to turn you off, the constant meta-humor and breaking the fourth wall is far too frequent, so much so, that it becomes repetitive and tiresome. This whole movie is "cringe" as the kids say. Originally, I was upset that this didn't get a theatrical release where I lived, which is why I bought it on disc, but now I see why he couldn't get any theaters to show it.
