Search: Directed by Kevin Smith

Smith crafts a movie that is more polished and - arguably - more mature than his previous efforts.

Viva slack!

The rules for this film are tell don't show and signpost everything.

Why should a story about two angels who have been hanging around Wisconsin for aeons, bored rigid, and wanting to go home, be understandable?

Overall, this is more miss than hit, but there are some nice ideas that will appeal to genre fans.

This is either an inspired satire on the state of popular cinema, an ego-trip of mammoth proportions or a bucketful of vomit.

Surprisingly good.

The inconsistency of tone infects every part of the film, leading to uneven performances .

Billed increasingly as a horror movie, the shifting sands of its tone means it sits uneasily in any category, as Smith flirts with comedy, action and horror without carrying off any of them particularly convincingly.

All the abusive repartee between staff and customers should gladden the hearts of minimum wage workers everywhere.
