Caught

From the coming attractions for ""Catch and Release,'' it looks like Kevin Smith has learned to talk.
But is the world ready for profanely funny ("Clerks,'' "Dogma,'' et al.) writer-director Smith as a chatty, best pal to a gal? In the new movie, Smith plays supportive friend to Jennifer Garner, who's actually married to Smith's buddy, Ben Affleck. Not to mention that the screenplay was written by a woman (Susannah Grant, who also directed).
All of this is going to take some getting used to, mostly by Smith's hard-core fans, who love his trash-talking, comic-book obsessing guy-guy. Could it be that our Jersey Boy, getting closer to the dark side of 40 (he'll be 37 in August) is finally growing up?

Yeah, it made me so sad when I saw him in the trailer. He's gone soft! Ah, well, it was only a matter of time.
