What am I doing wrong with these movie links? This is not the first time I've messed one up.

The donkey scene was a little much. It reminded of something out of a Tom Green film. I sometimes wonder if Smith just wants to shock and surprise people.

Not surprisingly, the first film was initially tagged with an NC-17 rating because of the graphic discussion of sex, etc. This was South Park humor (which I am a fan of) before South Park. It was more explicit than American Pie (which I also admired) years before American Pie.

Ultimately, I think there is a definite authenticity and sincerity in Smith's films. When he made the first film, he was working at the Quick Stop! He is just reflecting back a picture of his own life in his work, and that is probably what connects with his many fans.

Chris:

Thanks for the review. I just finished watching it on DVD. My wife and I loved it. Yes, the donkey was a bit much, even for KS, but well within his bounds.

Although it lacked a little bit of that authentic feel of the first movie, nearly every minute of this movie demonstrates that incredible intelligence, creativity, and a peculiar sense of romance went into the writing of this film- as with all of Smith's films.

Plus, seeing Randall and Dante become all they can and ought to be was unexpected and oddly uplifting.

Thanks again,

Tyson
