I've never had a problem "getting" Kevin Smith, mostly because he & I share the same perspective when it comes to pop culture, society, women, etc.
Smith is very much a filmmaker of his own making. He kind of makes the film to satisfy himself & his own visions, although his style seems to be slipping a bit to more mainstream hollywood.
Smith is also a filmmaker who will never take himself very seriously. He's publicly stated that he doesn't consider himself to be the best filmmaker in the world, but as long as there are people out there who can appreciate his product, then he will continue to make it regardless of what some critics & fans may think.
If you really want to understand Kevin Smith, do yourself a HUGE favor, and rent "An Evening with Kevin Smith". It's one of the funniest and most informative insights you'll ever have into his creative mind & thought processes, and he's incredible abilities as a public speaker make the viewing experience memorable.
