Kevin Smith, a prominent figure in the indie movie scene of the ‘90s, is back with a new project titled “The 4:30 Movie” set to release on September 13. The film follows the story of a teenager facing challenges in his quest to ask out his girlfriend, leading to unexpected twists during a movie theater outing with friends. Despite appearing to have a modest budget, the trailer indicates a return to Smith’s early MTV-inspired style, possibly hinting at a revival of his indie roots.
Smith’s recent films have elicited mixed reactions from audiences, ranging from successes like “Red State” to disappointments such as “Yoga Hosers” and “Tusk.” However, his dedicated fan base continues to appreciate his candid humor and storytelling. “The 4:30 Movie” combines sketch comedy and drama, offering a blend of laughter and heartfelt moments reminiscent of watching a comedy at 4:30 in the morning. Whether viewed as a comeback or a misstep, it underscores Smith’s enduring passion for filmmaking.
