Summary: too much exposure....
Review: I remember seeing this at the cinema when it first came out. I think this is a movie where you need to have seen Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy (in that order) as the jokes build up throughout each moive. I still remember being the only the person laughing at certain parts while the people around me stared at the screen blankly.Having said that, I don't think that Jay and Silent Bob should have been made into the main characters. Or even have a movie named after them. It just made the movie seem really long and even I was having trouble sitting still through some parts of it. I think most people can only tolerate Jay and Silent Bob in small amounts, which is how they were presented in past.

Summary: See The others first
Review: First off, this movie is about half as funny as it could be if youve never seen another kevin smith movie. Jay and Silent bob have always been beloved side characters in the first four kevin smith movies, and now they get a whole movie to themselves. filled with great jokes and a strew of celebrity guests, this is a wonderful movie. Kevin smith is a genious, and i cant wait for Jersey Girl

Summary: Out right Funny
Review: When I first saw this film in theatres, I laughed my a** off! What makes this movie funny is yes the toilet humor, and the whole movie is great from the first frame.
Jay and Silent Bob find out that their comic book hero's Chronic and Bluntman, there is a movie being made about them, and they dont know about it! So when they find out on the 'Internet' who's Ben's character was funny, taught them what the 'Internet' is, and they find out that they are getting smacked talked about them by 40 year old virgins who still live with their mothers under their basement. So Jay and Silent Bob decide to head to Hollywood to STOP the movie from being made.
Along the way, they learn the unwritten book of the road: you have to give oral pleasure to the driver whether they are male or female, unwritten rule. So they get picked up by a nun, Jay sits in the front and they talk about the unwritten book of the road, but the nun is talking about the bible. So then Jay decides to give oral pleasure to the nun, but from then on, the movie just gets funnier and funnier. Sean William Scott (who's character's name is Jake.) is a total geek with braces, so Jay wants to get rid of him because he is hitting on Justice (Shannon Elizabeth) so he asks Jake if he was a sheep would he give pleasure to another sheep (that is not what he reallys says but work with me.), then Jake looks at him and says "What's your damage little boy?" Jay then told him think about it, so Jakes answers "Since you put it that way, you bet your a** I will."
Jay nods his head and says "I thought so," then he screams "HEY THIS F***ER SAID HE F**K A SHEEP!" So they throw Jake out of the van with his acoustic and with Jay screaming "NOW WHO'S THE D**K YOU DIRTY SHEEP F***ER!"
Anyway, see the film, and u wont regret it.

Summary: Language: very frequent, very strong!
Review: I wasn't looking forward to watching this film, as I hadn't heard of it before. But after watching Dogma, and seeing Jay & Silent Bob in it, I began to warm to the idea. And the fact that it did have Ben Affleck in it helped matters. I wasn't keen on Jay to start with, but I grew to like him, after watching a full 90 minutes worth! He seems like every typical young teenage guy - doesn't cut his hair, uses words that would make a sailor blush etc. He would be quite nice looking if he cut his hair, but I suppose that's part of Jay's image now. And watching him in the extras, he looked really feminine - until he faced the camera, and we saw a lovely moustache. The rapping bit at the start is fantastic. And believe it or not, you do become immune to them saying the F-word! I prefer Silent Bob to Jay, although he was better in Dogma. Some of his facial expressions are great, and he manages to rival Jay, without having to say a word. In Dogma, he used a cigarette as a prop and one scene in that made me laugh, but there wasn't any of that in this. It was mainly waving his hands, and gesturing wildly. Kevin Smith seems to like having the same celebrities in each film - Jay & Silent Bob, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, George Carlin to name a few. But this film seems to rip off every film under the sun - Charlie's Angels, Entrapment, Matrix, Jumanji, Planet Of The Apes, Winnie The Pooh, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Scream, Mission Impossible and ET, are the ones that I managed to spot. Also, the number of celebrities that make cameos in this - Carrie Fisher, Seann William Scott, Ali Larter, Shannon Docherty, Wes Craven, Shannon Elizabeth, Jason Biggs, James Van Der Beek, & Jamie Kennedy, among many others. The scenes between Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck are absolutely brilliant, cos there are so many references (even with scenes where Ben Affleck is alone), and they totally slag each other off. Shannon Elizabeth plays the same character I've seen her play in every film - the beautiful, if not slightly ditzy girl and she'll annoy the hell out of the girls watching it! This is definitely one for the guys, to drool over Shannon Elizabeth & Ali Larter in tight black PVC suits. I did enjoy the film, and I did find myself liking it more towards the end, but it's a total rip off. And you also have great fun playing spot the celebrity & spot the movie rip off. So hands up, who actually counted the number of times they said the F-word?

Summary: High budget Mallrats
Review: As much as I love Kevin Smith and the films he has made and helped make (Good Will Hunting), this is another "guy" movie.
Gross-out humor is fine every now and again, which is why I bought the DVD after watching it in the theater. I still get a kick out of the Silent Bob outburst, and the reunion at the end was a fun surprise for someone who has seen all the "Jersey Films". But on the whole: my least favorite View Askew Production.
I buy DVDs for the goodies, and this one has quite a few. The one great flaw I found with this DVDs goodies (like all other Kevin Smith DVDs I've seen) is that in order to get to the truly funny bits, the cut scenes, you have to listen to him and a cast of others describe the scene you're about to see, why it was cut, talk about Ben Affleck, and pimp the brick and mortar store, THEN you get to see a 25 second scene and start the process again. I have yet to find a way around this annoyance.
Kevin Smith is funny when he's scripted. There's a reason he plays Silent Bob.

Summary: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back REVIEW!
Review: In what Kevin Smith has promised to be the final installment in his "View Askew" series, his beloved stoners, Jay and Silent Bob are on their way to Hollywood to stop a movie being made about them. Previously featured in all four of Smith's prior films (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma), the comedic duo, played by Jason Mewes and Smith himself, return for one last "d-ck and fart joke". This one marks the finale to the Jersey saga. When our title characters find out there is a movie being made about comic book heroes based on their likeness, they attempt to cash in. When they discover that it is causing several militant movie fans to diss them based on it, they make it their goal to stop the production before it can even get started. Along the way, they meet up with a clan of lipstick lesbian jewel theives (led by leather-clad bad girl Eliza Dushku) who are posing as animal rights activists. Jay ends up falling in love with Justice (Shannon Elizabeth), one of the girls in the gang but when they blow up their van as an escape, he believes that she has been killed. While "Strike Back" puts on a good show with more cameo appearances than you can shake a stick at and some very cool visual flare, its writing falls a bit short. The witty Kevin Smith who I came to know and love in "Clerks" seems nowhere to be found in this one. Smith seems to have taken a break from doing his clever back and forths between characters. His best written work here seems to be reserved for venting his frustrations with the Internet community and dispensing an endless barage of toilet humor. If you're a die-hard fan of Kevin Smith, there's no point in arguing with you, you probably own the movie and have seen it more times than you care to count. For those occasional fans who liked "Clerks" and "Chasing Amy", this one is very low brow. More so than even "Dogma" and "Mallrats" but it's all in good fun.

Summary: Excellent Movie and Cool Extras
Review: I'll keep it short: Great movie. If you liked MallRats and/or Dogma, you'll love this. If you hated MallRats or Dogma (and not just because of the love-interest story), this isn't for you. It's much more slapstick and silly than Clerks, it's forefather. If you've never seen any in the "series" (Clerks, MallRats, Chasing Amy), you'll want to watch at least Clerks first. The others are extra credit. It contains a lot of low-brow humor, but in a self-depricating way. It doesn't take itself seriously at all and the audience is encouraged to laugh at the characters as much as at the humor. Excellent job all around.
