adonis98-743-186503 The comic 'Bluntman and Chronic' is based on real-life stoners Jay and Silent Bob, so when they get no profit from a big-screen adaptation they set out to wreck the movie. Although it's better than the awful and unfunny Clerks II Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back suffers from some of the same problems first Will Ferrell is just not a great actor he is annoying as hell he has like 3 or 4 good movies in his career, most of humor is either gross or stupid and unfunny to this day the only movie that can use adult humor and nail it is only Deadpool which i loved. But i did loved some of the cameos such as Wes Craven and Mark Hamill pure gold he was basically Joker meets Luke Skywalker meets The Trickster and also Ben Affleck who played both himself and Holden McNeil he was pretty much on point when he talked about the internet and how people always hate everything it's basically the world we actually live in and remember when they cast him as Batman and everyone was going nuts and laughing well you aren't laughing now are ya people? Anyways Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back packs some good jokes, chuckles and even some hilarious but in the end it does repeat the weird Kevin Smith humor which it seems it works but for every single one of us it's kinda tired to this point but i had fun with this film it wasn't perfect but it wasn't a complete disaster at the end also watch out for the horrible Scooby-Doo cameo it will make you want to watch the live action movies again yeah it was pretty bad. I give this film a 6 out of 10 and a B-
Python Hyena Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001): Dir: Kevin Smith / Cast: Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith, Shannon Elizabeth, Will Ferrell, Eliza Dushku: A celebration of characters made memorable by Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. The dope dealing duo discover a movie in production based on their personas so they venture to Hollywood to stop it. Amusing setup simmers into road movie formula where they molest a nun, steal an ape, and encounter four female thieves. Director Kevin Smith delivers Hollywood in jokes with celebrities spoofing themselves yet this still manages to be only a routine road movie crude comedy. Mewes and Smith are on target until the road trip then everything depends on celebrity cameos and a dreary subplot regarding the four female thieves. In the end they stand up for the little guy as well as gain acclaim in Hollywood for which they cause quite a fiasco. Shannon Elizabeth among the thieves is weak. None of these females are particularly well drawn but Elizabeth and her desires for Jay is too far fetched. Will Ferrell is hilarious as a ranger whom is constantly made the fool yet his determination seems to pull through. Eliza Dushku leads the female bandits that also include Ali Larter and Jennifer Schwalbach. Film ties together characters from previous Smith films with references to Hollywood but the humour is vulgar with a total lack of dignity in its heroes. Score: 7 ½ / 10
Seth Landers I'm a fan of Kevin Smith, even though I didn't like Jersey Girl, he still makes great movies. Clerks, Dogma, and Mallrats I really like, even Chasing Amy is decent enough. So going in, I didn't know what to expect. Jay and Silent Bob had always been kind of in the background, so I was glad to hear that they were stretching this into a feature.There are a lot of good laughs throughout and I really liked it. Of course, the plot isn't supposed to be taken seriously and the characters are quirky. Even though Jay can be obnoxious, this character still has a lot of heart to him. Kevin Smith as Silent Bob is enjoyable to watch and when he finally says something, it's like a breath of fresh air. This movie is full of satire, endless cameos, and so many cross references to Smith's other films.It's one of those funny comedies that you watch with some friends late on a Saturday night. This was a pleasant surprise and I wasn't disappointed. I recommended it to anyone who like Kevin Smith's work and isn't easily offended!
SnoopyStyle Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith) are two drug dealers first seen in 'Clerks'. They find out that a comic book based on their lives are being made into a movie. After discovering the internet, they see that they are being ridiculed by trolls. Instead of wanting money, they set off to Hollywood to stop the movie. Then the duo hitch a ride with 4 hot girls (Shannon Elizabeth, Eliza Dushku, Ali Larter, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith). The story is a little random. There's a lot of funny inside jokes about Hollywood. It's cute but the childish jokes don't all work. It's cool to see all the Hollywood big names taking on their own previous work. This is definitely a movie for Kevin Smith fans only. At the heart of it is the friendship between Jay and Silent Bob. That part works quite well. However the production isn't as expertly made as Kevin Smith may want. There is a lot going on in this movie. He throwing every style and endless movie references at this.
