Kevin Smith begins with the advantage of being raised with deeply embedded senses of sin and guilt. He's 38, and he still believes sex is dirty, and that it's funny to shock people with four-letter words and enough additional vulgarisms to fill out a crossword puzzle. This is sort of endearing. It gives his potty-mouth routines a certain freshness; we've heard these words over and over again, but never so many of them so closely jammed together. If you bleeped this movie for broadcast TV, it would sound like a conga line of Iron Men going through a metal detector.
Smith announced in March that he was working on a new, non-Askewniverse comedy. Kevin Smith states that he first thought about making this movie after finishing Chasing Amy. His idea was to have Ben Affleck , Joey Lauren Adams , and Jason Lee in a movie called Name about two people's reactions to the third having been a porn star. Instead he broke up with Adams and made Dogma , but he never stopped playing with the basic idea of a porn movie.
