Synopsis
On the eve of his bachelor party, Jeremy learns that his
fiancee, Kerri, wants to call off their
wedding without providing a reason. He tries to determine what caused this sudden decision. The
unmarried couple returns to
New Jersey to sort out their relationship. When Jeremy gets home, he hangs out with Gil and Biscuit, his old friends, who have made a hobby out of breaking into other people's homes and rearranging the objects to freak out the homeowners. Their activities have begun to unnerve one unfortunate homeowner in particular, Mr. Victim (
Stuart Pankin). Jeremy, Gil and Biscuit go to their local bar for a few drinks and talk about women and Jeremy's aborted wedding. Meanwhile, Kerri and her best friend Marty go to a
lesbian bar, when Marty tells her she's pregnant. The next morning Jeremy's friend from Vegas, Shane, comes to visit as Biscuit and Gil throw him another bachelor party. The bachelor party goes awry when the stripper Biscuit hired arrives, and is revealed to be a
transvestite, who tells Jeremy that "she" saw Kerri at the lesbian bar the night before, and everyone thinks she's now gay with Marty. Gil and Biscuit take Jeremy and Shane to go mess with the house again, but Mr. Victim has gotten paranoid and shoots wildly at them, grazing Jeremy's ear. Faced with his own mortality, Jeremy, and the others drive to Kerri's so he can talk to her. She tells him that he took her for granted, and didn't do anything romantic for her, like giving her flowers. Jeremy tells her that he'd do anything to have her back, just as Gil walks in, telling them that Marty is beating up Biscuit on the front lawn. Biscuit, thinking Marty and Kerri were gay, asked Marty if he could be their manager. During the fight it's revealed to the guys that Marty is pregnant, and that Gil is the father. Kerri and Jeremy give Gil and Marty their plane tickets that were for their
honeymoon in
Florida so the new couple can have some alone time, while Kerri and Jeremy hold hands, hinting toward a possible reconciliation.

Trivia
Although not originally released commercially outside of Kevin Smith's Vulgarthon film festival, a DVD was released on November 28th, 2006, along with Smith's Clerks II. The movie sat on the shelf for more than two years until "Clerks II" was released with Trevor Fehrman. After the successful and popular chemistry that Anderson and Fehrman had in the mainstream "Clerks II," the Weinsteins decided the iron was hot enough to strike and chose to release it.
This is the third of four films produced by View Askew productions that isn't part of the View Askewniverse. The other three are Drawing Flies, Vulgar and Jersey Girl.
The Clerks II DVD includes a coupon for $3.00 off a copy of Now You Know.
The script for the film was written in about 2-3 months. After the script was completed, the total time for shooting the film was 18 days.
Kevin Smith talks about (and is seen with) a hooker in the film. The hooker is played by his real-life wife Jennifer Schwalbach Smith.
Official title on the DVD is Kevin Smith Presents Now You Know.Further Information
