Judd Apatow or Kevin Smith - Blu-ray Forum

Batman1980 · 01-19-2010, 10:28 PM

I think Apatow is a bit better but Smith is funny also, what do you guys think?

Paulness · 01-19-2010, 10:40 PM

So far if Apatow is directing I've enjoyed it, but have not felt the desire to rewatch as many times as with the first few Smith films...

Kevin Smith's first few films were great, but his most recent (Zack & Miri) felt like Kevin Smith was trying to be Judd Apatow... and it just felt forced. I do own all of Kevin Smith's films from Clerks to Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back... I liked Jersey Girl, but for some reason never got around to buying it... now I will wait for the blu.

Smith....his movies are funnier to me.

i can watch them any time and laugh my ass off and clerks is timeless, i watch it on avg. 3-4x a month!!!

I hate most Kevin Smith movies and can tolerate or even like most of Judd Apatow's movies, so Apatow all the way for me.

I'm not as big a fan of Smith as much as I used to be, but at least he can edit his films properly. I could not believe Funny People was nearly as long as Dark Knight. And it wasn't funny. 40 Year Old Virgin is great though.

So...Smith.

Kevin Smith for me. Not even close.

SammyG · 01-19-2010, 11:23 PM

Kevin Smith has better dialogue, which is always very funny. I like them both, but Kevin has the upper arm with his superior writing skills.

Kevin Smith.

He's mastered the way of writing d!ck and f*rt jokes so that they continue to be funny.

Poll?

Judd Apatow for me, since his comedies are more polished and more well-directed than Smith's.

OrlandoEastwood · 01-19-2010, 11:57 PM

Smith. Apatow's directed films started out funny. 40 Year Old Virgin was hilarious. Knocked Up was all right. Funny People wasn't really that funny.

Apatow

jtwise · 01-20-2010, 12:20 AM

Smith started breaking the market for inappropriate humor Apatow to come along and break it in more

gunner89 · 01-20-2010, 12:29 AM

Smith for me, seen the guy live, the stuff he comes up with off the top of his head! Wow. Brilliant writer and his dialogue is what he does best.

Apatow. And Kevin Smith's films keep getting better?

I loved Clerks, but, to me, Smith's movies have never lived up to his debut movie.

Apatow is great but...

Kevin Smith is comedic genius, his dialogue is always hilarious and I pretty much love all of his movies (Clerks II is my fav) and I enjoy his other projects too such as stand-ups (Evening with Kevin Smith 2 is easily my all-time favourite stand-up), comics and books.

Moefiz · 01-20-2010, 01:31 AM

Kevin Smith for me too, there are not even in the same league.

Clark Kent · 01-20-2010, 01:34 AM

Clerks is one of the funniest movies ever made. Apatow makes decent Hollywood comedies, but nothing that will be remembered fifteen years from now.
