Film Review - The 4:30 Movie

430 MOVIE 1

After stumbling with the wild, unpleasant tonality of “Clerks 3” and bottoming out with the borderline unwatchable “KillRoy Was Here,” writer/director Kevin Smith seeks the warm waters of nostalgia to support his latest effort, “The 4:30 Movie.” It’s a comedy about being young in 1986, dealing with suburban challenges, crushes, friendships, and filmgoing at a local theater. Smith sticks to his routine, scripting a feature filled with dialogue and crudeness, but he also tries to make something sweet and heartfelt, pulling from his own adolescence to fuel a trip into the past. “The 4:30 Movie” has its charms and a few laughs, and Smith sustains his interest in cameos and oddity to keep the short picture (76 minutes before end credits) on the move. It’s not an entirely successful study of teendom, yet the endeavor pulls Smith out of his recent creative funk, but only periodically. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
