The 4:30 Movie is a 2024 American semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy film written and directed by Kevin Smith. It stars Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo, Reed Northrup, Siena Agudong, and Ken Jeong. The story is loosely based on Smith’s experiences sneaking into movie theatres as a teenager and his earliest romantic endeavours.
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 movie-going and the youth of the ’80s.
The 4:30 Movie was released, in the US, on September 13th, 2024, by Saban Films.
