Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKevin Smith intended for the film to be rated PG-13, but it received an R, primarily due to jokes about masturbation. Unlike with many of his other films, he was not successful in getting the film to a lower rating.
- GoofsThe MPAA movie trailer rating screen shown before the trailer for Sister Sugar Walls is the incorrect one, being the one that is currently in use by the MPAA. The one that was used by the MPAA in 1986, when The 4:30 Movie takes place, was a still green frame which just had the sentence: "The Following Preview Has Been Approved For All Audiences by the Motion Picture Association of America."
- Crazy creditsAfter the credits roll, there is a montage of outtakes.

Featured review
It sucks! It doesn't JUST suck, it's actually kinda bad and I LOVE Kevin Smith! Like I get legit excited to see his stuff but Im super disappointed - do without spoilers, the entire first act is essentially talking about sneaking into an theatre, and idk if he's trying to explain a very simple concept to people born after 2000, or it's just 'Chuffa' ( 1. See Kevin I am a fan! I remember your Bruce Willis story when you directed him in Cop Out and 2. Shout out to Bruce Willis, thank you for the years and years of entertainment) - but take that in addition to flagrant attempts at manipulation of human nostalgia (which has become a way to leaned upon crutch after it hit big with Stranger Things) and it comes across as very desperate and simplistic in a very, almost offensive way - and oddly enough it was billed as" Kevins most personal film to date " (well it sure has enough of his friends in it ffs) (who can't act I might add, but it isn't endearing) but yet it's not autobiographical either soooo.... And yes I spoke directly to Kevin earlier cause I know he's gonna read this, I KNOW this because having read the day one reviews here on imdb, I can see that several of them are made from, let's say... 'inside the Smith camp' if u get my drift - and again listen I love the guy and have enormous respect - I WAS 16 in 86 so this has extra meaning to me and I should be susceptible to the nostalgia draw - but it's not enough and I think he knows it - I'm sorry, I expected better from such a genius.
