Kevin Smith is a well-known director and comedian who has gained a huge fan base for his clever and often obscene humor, as well as his unique directorial style. In 2008, he released a special feature film called "Sold Out: A Threevening with Kevin Smith", which was filmed during his Q&A sessions with fans during his "Evening with Kevin Smith" tour across America, Canada, and England.

The movie is essentially a compilation of the best moments of these sessions, where Kevin Smith answered numerous questions posed by his fans. The audience was allowed to ask him anything they wanted, and he responded with anecdotes, answers, and insights about his life, career, and opinions about various topics. However, this wasn't a typical Q&A session, as Kevin Smith's love of storytelling and humor ensured that no answer was ever given without his own unique interpretation or commentary on the subject at hand.

The film begins with Kevin Smith walking onto the stage to a cheering crowd, and he immediately launches into his Q&A session. The first question is, unsurprisingly, about his movie, "Clerks II", which had recently been released. Smith tells the story of how he pitched the concept of the film to movie executives, and some of the struggles he faced getting it made. He also talks about his decision to bring back the characters from "Clerks" 12 years later, and how he approached making the sequel.

The questions keep coming, ranging from inquiries about his personal life to his thoughts on pop culture, movies and the entertainment industry. There are always funny and irreverent responses from Smith who is clearly in his element. One of the recurring topics is Smith's obsession with comic books, and he is asked repeatedly about his views on various superheroes and comic book writers, like Frank Miller and Alan Moore. Smith shares his love for comics and explains how they've influenced his work as a filmmaker, and how he was able to incorporate comic book-style visuals into his films like "Mallrats" and "Chasing Amy".

Throughout the film, we get to see glimpses of Smith's personal life, as his wife and daughter occasionally get involved in the Q&A. His wife Jennifer Schwalbach Smith and their daughter Harley Quinn Smith appear on stage with him to take on some questions from fans. Jennifer discusses her life with Kevin as well as her own personal journey in becoming a recent mother, while Harley Quinn answers some questions about what it's like being raised by Kevin Smith. Their presence adds a whole new layer to the movie and showcases the family aspect of Smith's life.

Another major focus of "Sold Out" is Smith's opinions on religion and philosophy. He has been quite vocal about his own atheism and views on religion, but he makes it clear that he respects others' beliefs as well. He shares his views on the afterlife, the concept of sin, and even tells an amusing story about accidentally insulting a Christian woman at a dinner party.

The other prominent aspect of this film is Kevin Smith's humor. Smith is known for his raunchy jokes and making fun of himself, and "Sold Out" is not exempt from this. He uses every opportunity he is given to poke fun at himself, his career, and his own limitations as a filmmaker. Through his humor, Smith keeps the energy and pace of the movie upbeat and thrilling, making you feel like you’re in the audience with everyone else.

All in all, "Sold Out: A Threevening with Kevin Smith" is a must-watch for any Kevin Smith fan or anyone who enjoys a good Q&A session that's both funny and insightful. It's a clever and unique film that showcases Smith's quick wit and humor, and provides a glimpse into his life and mind that's both intriguing and entertaining. The film may be over a decade old now, but it still serves as a time capsule of Kevin Smith’s life at the time, and is a great tribute to his unique style and force of personality.
