Release
The film is Smith's first to have received a PG-13 rating. It was originally given an R rating due to the dialogue with Ollie and Maya discussing masturbation in the diner, but that decision was overturned.
An extended cut was shown at Kevin Smith's private film festival Vulgarthon in 2005 and 2006. The extended version included a much longer extension of the Jennifer Lopez section of the film, Ben Affleck's full speech in the city hall, a longer ending, and some music changes.
On the film's audio commentary, Smith stated that a longer version of the film would be released within the next year. At a Q&A session in Vancouver in early 2009, it was revealed that a release of the extended cut on DVD and Blu-ray Disc is "very possible".

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
“Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
