For anyone who has ever wondered what Shakespeare would be writing, were he alive today; look no further than the films of Kevin Smith. Whitty Dialogue, intricate story lines, characters with depth, and baudy humor (to satisfy the rabble in the pit; we smell our own)are the hallmark of his films. This film, the first of what fans have dubbed 'The Jersey Trilogy', is a decent debut for Smith, but the movie drags ever-so-slightly in the middle. It is, however, by no means is a disappointment. The new DVD release comes packed with features and is a "must have" for the hardcore fan.
