Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

magoo10498 The conversations between the staff members are funny at times but they seem forced. I would like to see more of a "fly on the wall" version of the conversations. In saying that, they all end the same way. Bryan says something cynical at the expense of someone else (usually Ming), Walt laughs that Seth Rogen-y laugh and a customer comes to the counter. Cue awkward random person remembering his lines about why he is selling that item and the ridiculous price haggling. I'll never understand why someone would sell their rare item to a store on TV when you could easily sell it online and get that higher price for it. Is selling items on eBay that hard really??? Oh and don't forget Rob Bruce, the guy who magically knows everything about everything: year released, units sold to the public, current market price, hell, even the production company's CEO at the time! To top to all off, Kevin Smith asks at the start of each episode, "What happened in the store this week?" Well, there's a lot going on in one week Kev, you're all wearing the exact same clothes in the pod-cast segment of every episode...

Atomic_Peace Like the summary said! Comic Book Men is set in Kevin Smith's trade and barter store based in New Jersey, known as Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, often shortened to just The Stash. Smith and friends operate the store, solely founded over film and comic book propaganda.I rather enjoy the show, I am an avid movie and TV fan, and I plan to start reading comic books, sometime later this year. I enjoy trade and barter, it is a subject I have fond interest in it, as you never know what you will see. I don't get the comic book references, but I try, and that's what counts.Let me put it this way, did you grow up on TV, movies, and comic books? Merry Christmas!The fact that they do this unscripted is surprising, because trust me when I say that this show is hilarious!I give the show 8 film rolls.

peryteran2 Adding to the already flooded market of "how much is my crap worth" shows like Pawn Stars, Auction Hunters, Oddities and the original Antiques Roadshow comes Comic Book Men.If you're Kevin Smith fan, you'll probably like this, but for the rest of us, this comes across as a stale formula that is already being done on the Travel channel, for crying out loud.I've watched two shows and can't say that anyone really stands out, except for a guy who has a ZZ Top Beard.Basically, it seemed like the show is set up to belittle "customers" who come in to have their stuff evaluated with the prerequisite "I have to check with my buddy who's an expert in (blank)" and then the person is told that their junk is worth nothing.Then, we switch to a studio where Smith tries to ramp up the drama where we get to make fun of the chump and celebrate the "Men" and their efforts.I suspect that Kevin Smith supports recycling. It should have the green symbol underneath the header. it look like he's using content from his podcasts and spitting it out as a TV show.The feeling that these customers have been pre-screened a hundred times and coached is pretty strong here. I just feel bad that a bunch of dumpy middle-aged guys need to feel better about themselves at the expense of even dumpier dudes......40 year old virgin already taught me what the value of an Oscar Goldman doll is. I don't need these guys telling me as if it's secret knowledge.In the words of their animated forefather: Worst Show Ever.

virtualxi As a Kevin Smith fan I can say that I enjoy most of his work in both film and in in recent years Smodcast Internet Radio and to be quite honest I think that this show is targeted for Smith fans only.The humor has the signature "Smodcast" written all over it. There is comic talk, there are escapades to the flea market and there are dick jokes. In the radio show when the conversation works it is really funny and, when it doesn't you keep listening waiting for the conversation to improve and it applies also to the TV show: When the "comic book men" bounce on one another it is funny to listen but I felt that the haggling with the customers was too "weird" for the sake of being weird... yes, I know there are customers like that in comic book shops - I've dealt with them - but in no way, shape or form would I consider filming them, those are the parts that I'd "switch-off" waiting for the funny talk.Like I said at the beginning. If you are a Smodcast/Tell'em steve dave you'll enjoy this similarly to how you enjoy the podcast,(see/hear once, laugh, forget about it). If you are a casual viewer... well I don't see how this would appeal to you, not because it is bad but because it is targeted for a very specific demographic for better or worse.As a SMod fan the only thing that I feel is that this is a bit redundant, specially in the form of a TV show. It is filmed for the sake of being filmed instead of told in a podcast as a funny story.7/10
