The Shrine

was great. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoy Kevin Smith's films. I found this one to be somewhat similar to his Clerks movies with perhaps a bit of Mallrats and Chasing Amy... Except with a lot more sexual humour and nudity. I found this film is at least as good as any of his others. Loved the music selection.

Do we get to see Elizabeth Bank's ta-tas or not?

I also saw it and am a big Kevin Smith fan. I'm not sure if he's getting soft in his old age and I'm just getting more cynical, but I found the story to be super lame and typical of your average romantic comedy. If all he's going to do is change up the joke selection, but keep the crappy stereotypical romantic comedy story, then I want none of it!

Jokes were super funny though. Kevin Smith humour is Kevin Smith humour.

That's somewhat the point of the movie; the most vulgar romantic comedy in existence; so yeah, if you don't appreciate that it will somewhat be a negative on the viewing experience.

Anyway, I should also add that this film Is his best directed film to date; as he said in his q&a "it feels like a real movie". After a day to think on it, I would rank this as my second or third favourite of his movies (clerks and chasing amy are The other two I really like)

That was kinda my impression of the premise from the previews. Two people make a porno. How is there any storyline to that?

Dogma. Two fallen angels find a loophole in the Catholic Dogma and threaten to unmake existance.

That's a movie that would be something I want to see. His new movie? Not so much.

It has a very sweet story, and it's a fairly original sort of film--it's its own way, it sort of offers us, at least superficially, something we haven't quite seen before.
