I've always liked Kevin Smith. I remember when I first became aware of him Chasing Amy had just came out on VHS and I bought all three of his first films and had a little Smith-fest. At the time he was one of my three biggest influences, the other two being Woody Allen and Quentin Tarantino. I'm well aware how bizarre that combination seems, but it makes sense in that they're all dialogue whores.
This film works really well, despite the fact that it abandons the majority of it's plot points in favor of the looming love story, which is OK because it is a really great love story. The cast in this film is amazing, great characters, great fun. Rogen and Banks are phenomenal. I fell in love with her, as I imagine did the DP since they lit her to look absolutely gorgeous. A very funny film that works despite it's sometimes weak story points. I like it.
