Finally, some culture! Hahahaha
Not everyone is meant to like this movie, that's for sure, but Kevin Smith doesn't apologize for his crass dialogue, touchy subjects, and downright unlikeable characters. Dante is probably supposed to be sympathetic, but you're going to want to punch him in the face by the time you get halfway through this movie.
And yet, every time I watch this one, I crack up. I don't know what it is about this movie that makes it relatable or likeable, but it is. Perhaps its how relevant it is to an entire generation and an entire era. Oh, the Nineties.... how happy we are that you're over. Still, this movie remains as one of the classics of that decade. And of course, the pivotal 'break-out' film of Smith's career.
If you don't like it, it's okay. You don't have to. I think Kevin Smith just wanted you to watch it and nothing more.
