Love Mussel

In this mockumentary, Kevin Smith plays himself covering the story of a New Zealand town after the discovery that a local shellfish, the geoduck (pronounced "gooey duck") has the properties of Viagra.

Directed by Michael Hurst, Love Mussel leans on a strong ensemble — Kevin Smith, Geoff Snell, Vicky Haughton — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2001.
