Smith is a most unlikely success story. Fat geeks from the Jersey burbs with no connections don't break into cutthroat Hollywood and stay 20 years. He willed himself to do the impossible while remaining a nice guy. Smith recounts his life and career, from the amateurish Clerks to the superb Red State, and his early days at Miramax under Harvey Weinstein until buyouts and sellouts decayed the maverick indie-film house into the type of dollar-driven movie machine Weinstein and his collaborators despised. The audiobook is equal parts biography and personal philosophy, with loads of laughs. Smith is a funny, cordial, and embarrassingly honest host—he'll tell you anything (and does) about himself—but much of the dialog is R-rated. He also expounds on the wonders of smoking weed.
VERDICT Self-expression is Smith's true art form, making him the perfect reader for his own material. Despite a career based on "fart and dick jokes," Smith emerges as a loving, devoted son, husband, and father and an artist who never sacrificed his vision for profits. Film heads and Smith's legions of fans will enjoy the sh*t out of this.
