Summary: ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!!
Review: This is hands down, the funniest movie I have ever seen. I liked how it kind of reunited all the characters(ben affleck, matt damon, jason lee, chris rock, shannen dohety, dante + randall, etc), and the cameos by all the stars were funny too, especially george carlin with the "will give head for ride" sign.
Anyway, people are villifying this movie, saying it offends gays, but it really shouldnt. In this movie, silent bob was really going to (...), and in dogma, jay thinks about guys while (...), so its all just in good fun. And the
part w/ james van der beek and jason biggs about everything being gay and homophobes was funny and showed that the movie isnt trying to put anyone down. And all the gay jokes were just that-jokes. They were just supposed to be funny, and believe me they were. They were mostly said by Jay, whos just a stoner idiot, so they werent meant to be taken seriously.
But all in all, this movie is the funniest one ive ever seen and all five of them (clerks, mallrats, chasing amy, dogma, jay + silent bob) are going to be remembered for a long time. Even if you havent seen any of them, go see this movie, because the plots arent related at all. Dont listen to all the bad reviews, this movie is hilarious and thats the bottom line.

Summary: Rude, Crude, and Wicked Funny!
Review: Films Director Kevin Smith and his real life friend Jason Mewes, have played side characters, Jay, and Silent Bob, in all of Smith's films since, ''Clerks''. In Smith's 5th film they finnally play lead characters. For those unfamiliar with other films in the series, Jay and Silent Bob are two stoner friends from New Jersey, who hang outside a convience store dealing dugs. There origin will be explained at the begining of the movie. The plot of, ''Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'', is a bad one, so the film mainly relys on laughs which it delivers a lot of. After finding out that internet geeks are ripping a movie based on a comic book whos characters, Bluntman and Chronic, are based on Jay and Silent Bob, the duo travels to Hollywood to stop production of the movie. On the way they meet 4 jewel theives, 3 who trie to kill the duo, and one (Shannon Elizabeth) who falls in love with Jay. The movie is a full of acting talent but a lot of that talent is wasted by putting stars in cameo roles, which isn't neccesarily a bad thing. Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith, Shannon Elizabeth, Wll Ferrel, and a loveable little Orangatang are the most important characters. Like Smith and Mewes do in Smith's other films, Jason Lee, Ben Afleck, Jeff Andersen, and Brian O'halloran, reprise there roles from characters of Smith's other films. In the cameo department this movie is loaded, With cameo appearances by, Chris Rock, Matt Dammon, George Carlin, Jason Biggs, Sean William Scott, James Van Der Bergh, Tracy Morgan, Diedrich Baker, Carrie Fischer, Mark Hammil, and many more. Fans of rude comedy will love Jay and Silent Bob, its loaded with laughs. Offensive but funny this is a Hillarous movie to see.

Summary: Love it or HATE it
Review: When I first saw this movie, I was shuddering to think of how much those unfamiliar with Jay and Silent Bob would hate this. However, I don't think you have to have an encyclopdic knowlege of View Askew to think this is hysterical. Just think of the premise; Jay and Silent Bob go on this cross country trip to stop the movie for no reason other than they are angry about people ripping them on the internet and damaging their delusional reputation with the ladies. Now there is a value system for you. This movie is like a gift to the fans. I can't beleive how much stuff was crammed into this movie. This isn't Citizen Cane here, just a director trying to stuff in as much funny tid bits into 2 hours as possible. Well done. Buy it..watch it over and over...and love it.

Summary: Not for everyone...but sooo funny
Review: This movie isn't everyone's favorite, but if you like Kevin Smith movies, you will probably like this. This was the only KS movie I have seen in a theater, and as soon as it was out on DVD, my husband bought it. I would really recommend getting the DVD vs. VHS. KS always puts a ton of extras on his DVDs and this is no exception. Yeah, Jay is gross and rude, but Jason Mewes does a great job in this movie. Also, most of the actors from the other KS movies are back (Chris Rock, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jason Lee, the guy who playes Dante...even Brenda, I mean Shannon -- watch Mall Rats or the cut scenes from this one). Anyway, some people will not be able to get past Jay and his comments about sex and drugs, but if you can, there is a lot of great movie in this. Every time I watch it I find something new to laugh at. Great Movie!

Summary: Disgusting--not Funny
Review: I love comedies, and I can handle a bit of vulgarity. This movie was nothing but vulgar. It was constantly, "Suck this..., [horrible launguage]this, repetitive swearing, and extremely vulgar sexual jokes. I saw it in the theater and of the 30 or so people there, I didn't hear much laughing from anyone. This included kids, teenagers, and adults. True, there are a few good humurous parts, but nothing is worth sitting through this movie.

Summary: funny movie, loaded DVD
Review: The movie I love, and continue to laugh like a drooling idiot every time I play it, but I marvel more at the sheer amount of extras that Kevin Smith puts on his DVDs. The man simply knows how to give a great bang for the buck with his DVDs. This set has more extras that probably anything else on the market, and they're all enjoyable. The most hysterical is the set of scenes with Judd Nelson's sheriff telling his boys to return to the station. All of his lines are unprintable, but some of the most funny lines you'll ever hear. My only complaint is the "director's commentary." Smith did it with Jay Mewes and Scott Mosier, which was okay, but it just wasn't as enjoyable as the big group commentaries that he's done on previous DVDs, where everyone was ranking on each other and generally having a great time. I think this would have been great commentary if he could have added Affleck, Jason Lee, and even Chris Rock. But that's a nitpicky point; if you're a Smith fan, buy this DVD.

Summary: Trust me... don't buy the DVD...
Review: Many View Askew fans were quick to deem this "The best Smith movie ever" and they have already purchased the DVD. If you are considering as such, I tell you now: do not BUY it. I once heard somewhere that critics of comedy movies shouldn't just badmouth the movie, but instead, they should just look at the audience and see if anybody is laughing. The truth is, people were laughing when I saw this movie. Lots of people. I chuckled a couple of times, too. At first, I kinda liked it, and I just had minor complaints against the movie. I can't stand Will Ferrell (I can write a whole book about why, but not here), nor can I enjoy Shannon Elizabeth. I felt that the innumerable gay jokes hurt the movie. There are other complaints I had, but let me get to my point: It didn't take long for all of the comedy in this movie to become boring. Having watched it only about three times, I hate it. Half of the jokes in the movie aren't good to begin with at all, and the other half have no long-lasting value. Sure, you'll probably laugh when you first watch it. Especially if you're a strict Smith fan. But it's a short-lived sensation. Buy this DVD and you'll regret it, eventually. Rent the movie, and you'll be happier (Provided you are a Smith fan and can listen to the "F-word" 962 times in a row).

Summary: Greateat Movie of All Time...?
Review: Maybe. It's definetly up there with the comedy greats. Kevin Smith, the director and the face behind Silent Bob, is a genius although his talent is better displayed in his 4th film DOGMA. In this movie, which is the fifth and last in his New Jersey Series all of which featured the two stoners Jay and Silent Bob. In other movie they were as little as small parts with 5 lines to co-stars but this one is starring the two. This movie has great jokes which make fun of the movie itself, which is great and he also pokes fu and continues stories from his other four movies using old characters and jokes to "spice it up". It also takes alot of humor from the classic series Star Wars which is obviousy, if you've seen Smith's other flicks, a Star Wars geek.
So all in all this movie is great and anyone who's not a huge anti-tobacco and alchohol freak should see this but I suggest thay you see his other four movies (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, DOGMA, and maybe his 6 episode animates series, Clerks: the Animated Series).
