Do you remember 1996? Let me take you back a time when Jim Carrey was the biggest comedy star in the world. This man was coming off of a year in which he had just done Ace Ventura 2 and headlined Batman Forever as The Riddler. Everyone was waiting for his next film.

So sit back as we take a look at the career of Kevin Smith.

The movie that asked the question, how bad of a movie do you have to churn out to destroy Arnold Schwarzenegger's action career. The answer is a movie that simply cannot figure out what it wants to be...oh and throw some bad puns, glass-eyed villains, magic tickets, and annoying kids for flavor.
