Mild Entertainment for Kevin Smith Fans
Chasing Kevin (2000)
** (out of 4)
Randy Appell and Scott S. Kramer play themselves, filmmakers obsessed with Kevin Smith. Scott plans to be the next Smith and we see how his obsession grew to the point of making a film called EMPLOYEES and how he traveled to New Jersey to try and meet his icon.
This short film deserves a lot of credit in on way. These types of do-it-yourself films really weren't all too common back in the day so I give the filmmakers credit for actually going out and making such a film. The only problem is that no one other than Kevin Smith fans are going to get any sort of entertainment out of it. Perhaps that's a good thing?
The film is basically a fake documentary of watching these two guys try to become the next Kevin Smith and this includes a failed meeting (a homage to THE KING OF COMEDY?) as well as a couple other scenes that borrow from not only Smith but also Quentin Tarantino.
CHASING KEVIN isn't the greatest movie ever made but it's certainly mildly entertaining as long as you know what you're getting into. One wishes that there had been more jokes or at least bigger laughs but Smith fans will find it worth watching at least once.
