All the Kevin Smith hate is a bunch of hooey. It's not supposed to be intellectual cinema (although I'll argue that Chasing Amy is a hell of a social commentary). It's just plain fun...for those that like his stuff. I am solidly in that camp.
I am right there with you. My poke was more to do with my man crush on Jason Lee. Look at my signature, I have been a fanboy of his since Clerks. That is my original signatreu from 2003.
With that being said, he has some bombs in there.
2011 - Red State - I thought this was really underrated
2010 - Cop Out - Not desire to see
2008 - Zack and Miri Make a Porno - A decent comedy
2006 - Clerks II - Lackluster follow up, but still really funny
2004 - Jersey Girl - meh
2001 - Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - It is what it is, stupid funny.
1999 - Dogma - Above Average
1997 - Chasing Amy - Best of the bunch, an all time fav or mine.
1995 - Mallrats - Loved it and even saw it in the thearter, twice.
1994 - Clerks - Classic
