Plot summary
Poking fun at his much-publicized brouhaha with Southwest Airlines, writer, director, actor and ardent podcaster Kevin Smith declares himself too fat for his 40th birthday in a hilarious Q-and-A session with his rabidly loyal fans. Filmed at the Count Basie Theater in Smith's hometown of Red Bank, New Jersey, this two-hour comedy special spotlights not only Smith's self-deprecating sense of humor, but also his fondness (and true gift) for spinning a good yarn.

Would You Be Scared of Bruce Willis?
Not good
I like Kevin Smith and I've liked all his movies pretty much. So I thought this would be funny or at least insightful. Nope. Super boring and even worse - really self-indulgent. I don't mind some lowbrow humor but seriously a half hour on this one dump he took while high is too much. (And I am serious about that being in this DVD). Even that is not as bad as this super long rendition about watching a movie on the Gretzgy family, while high. He lets the audience know that now he likes to get high every morning, first thing. He goes on and on about how this movie was very touching and Wayne Gretzgy's dad was such a great dad - his son's biggest fan and first coach, and always there for him. And what was his take away? Not, hey, I'm a dad and maybe getting high every day is keeping me from being there for my kid in a way that Gretzgy's dad was there for him. Nope - it was that Gretzgy's dad told him to "be where the puck is going, not where it is". And that he needs to do that again with his movies. What a dick. This is definitely one of those things that made me think, "Here is another person where fame has gone to their head and really warped their sense of reality." So I would recommend you pass on this one.
