i use to swear that this be one of the best movie and especially best independent film and one of the best screenplay . but after watch it many more time and it do dawn on a viewer that a lot of thing be amiss in this movie . first there be the acting and where nearly ever character have at least one take ( that make the final cut ) where they have a noticeable pause because they either ( a ) forget their line ( b ) get tongue tie on the dialogue kevin smith write up . the dialogue itself be the second major flaw in this movie . it really hard to count this a a definite flaw when it do so much for the movie and but at the same time it be obvious that con of the dialogue represent ( a ) cover too much essential material too briefly ( b ) statement that be too long and elaborate for the give actor to do them justice ( c ) unrealistic detail and stream of conscious in the character statement while out weigh the positive aspect represent ( a ) humorous anecdote and tangent express through tirade ( b ) unique character interaction . this be not to say in any way that this movie be poor and but these attribute bring it considerably below the mark of 7 . 9 that imdb voter have give it .
