"You're like the coolest girl I have ever met, and all I want to do is watch movies with you." I'm sobbing at how sweet that is. This was a hilarious good time for me. I love a good coming of age story; now, is this a little over the top with its comedy? Of course, it is. It’s a Kevin Smith film, and I expect nothing less. I had a blast with this and will definitely be rewatching.

Aight! We are back with my dawg Kevin Smith. Just so you know, I watched this film months ago and completely forgot to review it.
The 4:30 Movie follows Brian, a young man who has a crush on a girl named Melody Barnegat. He comes up with a plan to get closer to her: he and his friends are going to a movie premiere that starts around 4:30 p.m., and he’s taking her along for the ride.
This is the latest feature film from legendary indie stoner Kevin Smith, and I’ve always been a huge fan of his specifically old-school Smith like Clerks, Mallrats, and Jay and Silent Bob. You know, hangout-style Kevin Smith. So when I heard he was making this film, and it looked like he was going back to that hangout aesthetic and doing something original instead of rehashing his earlier work, I was excited.
Well… that turned out to be a bold fucking lie. Because the film ends with a post-credits scene of Brian getting a job at the Quick Stop. So is this a reference? Or is this supposed to be how Kevin originally worked at the shop before making Clerks? Dawg, I got no clue.
The 4:30 Movie is really bad. It’s just not that good of a movie. Probably one of the worst Kevin Smith films. I wouldn’t say I hate it. It’s fine, but most of the humor falls flat and just isn’t my type of comedy. One thing that really annoyed me is that Brian and everyone else constantly say Melody’s full name throughout the entire movie. Always “Melody Barnegat, Melody Barnegat, Melody Barnegat.” Nobody talks like that.
A lot of the dialogue and performances feel off. The writing is filled with words and phrases that either don’t make sense, don’t sound human, or feel like they’re trying way too hard to be funny.
And then there’s Mike, played by Ken Jeong. No disrespect to him, but he’s basically playing the same godforsaken character he always plays. He’s the same in The Hangover, the same in Community, the same in Role Models. It’s always the same thing. But the movie mobile looking shit looked fire. Gotta give credit, when credits due.
So yeah, to be frank, this one just isn’t my thing. For a movie that’s only 88 minutes long, I honestly wish it were shorter. I kept thinking, where the fuck is the Kevin Smith I knew and loved?
But I gotta applause Smith to quiting weed. After 15 years of being stoned 24/7. So that's always amazing to hear. Good for you Smith!
