Every Kevin Smith Movie, Ranked
Updated September 13, 2022 to add Clerks III.
Over nearly 30 years, director, actor, writer, producer, and podcaster Kevin Smith has made 14 films*, many set in the same shared New Jersey universe inhabited by the characters Jay and Silent Bob (played by Jason Mewes and Smith, respectively). Though critics have certainly praised some of his films, "divisive" may be the best descriptor to apply to his work. In the gallery above, we rank those and all other movies directed by Smith in order by Metascore from worst-reviewed to best.
* Plus one NFT, KillRoy Was Here, which was not reviewed and is omitted from this gallery.
Venturing out of the View Askewniverse for just the second time (following 2004's Jersey Girl), Smith enlisted fresh faces in the form of Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks for this 2008 sex comedy set—unusually for a Smith film—near Pittsburgh. The film was greeted by mixed reviews and was a box office disappointment, leading to a breakup between Smith and his longtime distributor Harvey Weinstein.
“The moments when "Z&M" works are, almost without exception, the ones that are more sweet than shocking. All the rest, frankly, feel like Apatow Lite.” —Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
