Official Trailer Dropped for ‘The 4:30 Movie’ From Kevin Smith

A new Kevin Smith film is always a reason for celebration here at Awards Radar, given the affection that our own Joey Magidson has for the auteur. Well, one look at his latest project, The 4:30 Movie, suggests that the storyteller may have made something that a fairly wide audience can enjoy. The romantic comedy appears like a real love letter to movies, growing up in the 80s, and falling in love. The trailer dropped today, in advance of a September 13th release, and you can take a look below.

The 4:30 Movie is written and directed by Smith, featuring an eclectic cast that’s led by Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo, Reed Northrup, and Siena Agudong. Betty Aberlin, Diedrich Bader, Jason Biggs, Rosario Dawson, Rachel Dratch, Ralph Garman, Jason Lee, Logic, Justin Long, Jason Mewes, Kate Micucci, Jenny Mollen, Adam Pally, Sam Richardson, Genesis Rodriguez, Jennifer Schwalbach, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Harley Quinn Smith, and Ken Jeong contribute supporting parts or cameos.

This is the official plot synopsis: “Writer-director Kevin Smith presents his most personal film to date with this coming-of-age story — set in the summer of 1986 — that follows three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local cineplex. When one of the guys invites the girl of his dreams to see an R-rated film, all hilarity breaks loose, as a self-important theater manager (Ken Jeong) and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans. Justin Long, Rosario Dawson, Jason Biggs, and more contribute outrageous characters to this poignant comic valentine to moviegoing and the youth of the ’80s.”
