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.

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.

I had stoner roommates who would watch Clerks at least once a week. Goddam that movie sucks in so many ways. Zack and Miri was OK I guess. I like some Apatow, like Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and (especially) The 40 Year Old Virgin. Generally, the less Seth Rogan the more I like it. I prefer Jason Segel.

Eh, he was good in Knocked Up and not annoying in The 40 Year Old Virgin, but in Pineapple Express, Superbad, Funny People, etc. he's not funny. He seems to count on the viewer being as stoned as he is. I don't smoke the pot anymore so perhaps the humor is just over my head.

They each have their good films but if you count only the ones that they each have directed then Smith because he made Chasing Amy.
