    On ITunes and streaming now so I missed it at the theater. I was one of these kids back in the day, but younger than they are by about 5 years. I also fell in love with Clerks at 17 and since have seen all of Smith’s movies but Tusk. Only because it seems pretty scary…one of these days I’ll check it out. Going back to Clerks…when I saw the poster of one of the movies referenced by Randall in the first one it reminded me of how much I love when we get the Askiewniverse bits. Justin Long’s character has a short but hilarious bit and I love how the preview lists “from the director of…” and lists a bunch of his movies, then says “and probably Clerks 4.” Hilarious! This is a must for Smith fans. His writing style remains sharp with some of the most unique dialogue you ever get in film. One of the jokes gives you yet another to add to quote in public, or online nowadays, for people to wonder what you’re even close to talking about. Like in the backseat of a Volkswagen 37 times in a row. Enjoy and have a chocolate covered pretzel while watching🤣

    Wasn't a bad movie. It had it's moments, and heartfelt message in the end. The only thing that could have made it better is if they were sneaking into the drive in movies , like the Outsiders movie. I thought it was going to be more of 3 movie fans always sneaking into seeing movies together instead of a 80's coming of age romance movie. This didn't hurt the movie, but I thought it was going in a different direction.

    'The 4:30 Movie' is a decent coming age of comedy that is pleasant enough, especially if you’re a Kevin Smith fan.

    The acting was cheesy and so was the writing, but it still had its magic and it was a fun story with an awesome setting making the movie a fun watch.

    Taking place on May 25th, 1986, Brian David (Austin Zajur) is a film nerd in love with Melody Barnegat (Siena Agudong). He calls her at her job to ask her out to a fictional movie at 4:30. When she agrees, he eagerly anticipates their date while theater hopping with his friends at the local movie theater. However, Brian will have to be clever as the movie he and Melody are scheduled to see is rated R and they're both under 18. This film is chock full of nostalgia and the way movies were seen almost 40 years ago. It seems to be a personal film and almost a love letter to writer & director Kevin Smiths youth. The film has various Smith alum such as Jason Mewes, daughter Harley Quinn Smith, Jason Lee, Justin Long, Rosario Dawson, and Jeff Anderson. Like most of Smith's films, it's hilarious! However, it's more mature humor than some of the Jay & Silent Bob schtick, which gives the film a more serious and genuine tone. While I am a Kevin Smith fan, I was impressed with how much I enjoyed this film. It's definitely from the heart of a film lover to the hearts of film lovers. It's a cute lover story with some powerful undertones to it. Now if only we can get that SISTER SUGAR WALLS film made next please!

    Kevin's best movie since Red State. Sweet, funny and well acted.

    Text: In a world full of action packed CGI extravaganzas or over the top ideas, it was refreshing to have a film that is just about a group of characters that live in a slightly mundane and average world. And characters I actually care about. I thought the romantically involved leads were great. The friendship between the three fellas felt authentic as well. And felt the cameos were fun, especially Justin Long. The music is good and was a great addition to the 80's vibe of the film for. Smith better not turn on this like he did Jersey Girl for any hate it may get. It's not everyone's type of flick for sure but I'm sure it has its audience. I loved it.

    Very poor acting by EVERYONE in the film. Basically nothing happens. Character development doesn't exist. Weak story.

    It’s a bad teen movie. And it does a great job at it.
