This feature comes in two parts - the first disc has Smith returning to Toronto (the site of the first Evening) as he not only discusses our favorite neighbor to the north, but also his family and friends and his work on Jersey Girl and The Green Hornet. At one point, Smith goes on a hilarious tangent about the shows his young daughter watches. One particular anecdote concerns watching Dora the Explorer while high. This wonderful stand up will not only throws Jason Mews into the mix, but also has a guest appearance by Buddy Christ and discovers a unique connection between Chuck Norris, Chewbacca and Jesus. And of course what Kevin Smith interview would be complete without a little ragging on Ben Affleck.
After his return to Toronto, the second part (and disc) of this DVD is his Q&A session in London. This stand up starts off with a quick rant about certain members of the British media and how Smith would do a Green Hornet movie if he directed it (the two heroes leaning against their car talking about random nothingness and having all the fighting taking place off camera).
The questions quickly flow into a discussion about the film Donnie Darko and how the film is huge in England and that Smith believes that the creator (and friend), Richard Kelly, doesn't even really know what happened in it. Mews once again takes the stage and after a seductive "Snootchie-bootchies", the conversation turns to what "fanny" means in England and how this syntactic difference might have caused the Revolutionary War. The London stand up starts to wind down with questions about Kevin Smith doing a Playboy shoot of his wife for the magazine's 50th anniversary and how their daughter feels about Smith's various movies.
Any fan of Smith or his work should definitely pick up this performance. If you want an insight into the man's twisted (and hilarious) mind, then this, along with the original An Evening With Kevin Smith, are great sources. But, if you haven't heard him speak before, then be warned -- his use of the language's more unique phrases is frequent and watching this film should probably be cautioned around younger kids.
