Review:
"No-holds-barred ... like his best films: raw, openhearted, and mordantly funny" - Entertainment Weekly
"Elevating the white-guy-doing-nothing prerogative from a lifestyle choice to a moral principle." - New York Times
"There's more to Clerks director Kevin Smith than just jokes, and he proves it with his long, moving - and, yes, funny - account of helping a friend kick heroin." - Newsweek
"A rude blast of gleeful provocation." - Rolling Stone
"Smith's brand of auteurism still celebrates boyishness verging humourously on arrested development." - New York Times
"Kevin Smith is beloved for his vulgar cockeyed yet sweetly human dissections of life through the eyes of the young and disaffected." - Los Angeles Times
