Summary: Smith's 20-million inside joke
Review: Since Kevin Smith started his little ficticious world (now known fondly to those who know it as the View Askewniverse) with the guerrilla-style low-budget black and white movie Clerks in 1994 (an excellent buy, by the way) he has developed a core audience that has stuck with him through the good, the bad, and the ugly. Now, with his latest movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Smith pays an homage to these fans.

The movie in itself is nothing but a big in-joke that you probably won't understand if you haven't seen his previous releases (except probably for Dogma, which is rarely referenced to), but a hilarious in-joke it is. Jay and Silent Bob's swan song, giving the View Askewniverse the closure it deserves, with msot of the main characters from the Jersey Trilogy showing up.

The DVD is amazing. Great video transfer, amazing enourmous sound, really amusing deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes featurettes and music videos. Hilarious commentary with Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier and the ol' trailers to all of Kev's Miramax movies. The perfect DVD in my humble opinion.

Buy it. It's worth it.

Summary: So stupid its genius
Review: The fifth and final entry in Kevin Smith's New Jersey "trilogy", Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back finds the pot smoking duo (Jason Mewes and Smith respectively)on a cross country trip to Hollywood to stop a movie about their likenesses Bluntman & Chronic from being made. On their way they encounter a group of sexy jewel thieves (Shannon Elizabeth, Eliza Dushku, Ali Larter, and Smith's real life wife whose name I forget), while outrunning dimwitted wildlife conservationist Will Ferrell. The dialogue is far beyond vulgar, and its downright hilarious, and its a fitting send off of Smith's series. Disc 2 is loaded with special features, and they are great (especially the deleted scenes). Kevin Smith film regulars Ben Affleck and Jason Lee also star, as do Clerks stars Jeff Anderson and Brian 'O Halloran, and an ensemble cast of cameo appearences by Jason Biggs, James Van der Beek, Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher, Matt Damon, Gus Van Sant, Wes Craven, Shannon Doherty, Chris Rock, Tracey Morgan, George Carlin, Seann William Scott, and Judd Nelson. Strongly recommended to anyone with a crude sense of humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The series just keeps gettin Better
Review: Hello ladies and gents. This series of Hilarious scenes and non-stop cussing just got better with j&sb strike back. This instal-lment to the series is probably the best,even though I really loved watchin all of them. The plot is great and just hearing Jay say the "f word" makes me laugh. This movie almost catches up to "Scarface" in cussing, or at least comes the closest compared to other movies. This movie is FULL of Perverted stuff and a fair amount of DRUGS. To all of you moms out there, I do not recommend this movie for your little kiddies. You can let them watch it if you want them cussing you out or doin drugs all the time. But its your choice. The only bad thing about this film is that you will have to watch the other movies to get some of the SICK jokes their sayin. But this is TRULY a GREAT movie. HAVE FUN

Summary: Kevin Smith Versus Hollywood
Review: Kevin Smith reunites all his wildly entertaining characters in the outrageous comedy "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back". After learning that Hollywood is making a movie based on their likeness, Pot-selling best buddies Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) set out to Hollywood for some serious payback. In their journey, the wild duo encounter all sorts of misadventures and crazy characters. Kevin Smith's latest film is a hilarious and side-splitting comic blast of crude humor. The film contains many hilarious moments but the story is somewhat uneven and often dips. The movie features a superb comic cast including Ben Affleck, Chris Rock, Jason Lee and Will Ferrell. It also features funny cameos by Mark Hammil, Jason Biggs, Carrie Fisher and Matt Damon.

"Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" succeeds all previous Miramax DVDs. The film is presented in a widescreen format. The DVD contains a sharp and striking picture quality. The 5.1 Dolby Digital sound is quite impressive with some good bass. This 2-disc DVD contains a wide range of supplements including music videos, deleted scenes, behind the scenes featurettes and DVD-ROM extras. With its great DVD presentation and entertaining extras, "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" scores a definate "B".

Review: Damn..I saw this movie on the tube and was drawn forth into the View Askewniverse !!...well nyways this flick is HILARIOUS..if ur a stuck up a-hole who acts like they got a rod shoved up theirs then this aint for ya !.Packed to the brim (and even over it !) with swearing and dirty jokes, funny racism (CHRIS ROCK BABY !!) and well...JAY AND SILENT BOB !. Story is funny but leaky (who gives a red F*ck ?). Our heroes are a couple of slackin stoners who practically live in front of the store.When they get a restraining order on em they move over to the comic book store and find out a movie is being mad on BLUNTMAN AND CHRONIC (thier super hero alter egos).When they realize they should be earning money from the film...but theyrne not..ITS OFF TO HOLLYWOOD to shut down the film ! this is one awesome flick.Rent it if ur a newcomer..buy if ur a Kevin Smith fan

Plot Summary: Jay and Silent Bob must travel to Hollywood to stop production on the movie adaptation of Bluntman and Chronic.

Review and Comments: Don't ask why, just sit back and enjoy the ride. Or don't enjoy it. This movie is one huge "in joke" for people who enjoyed the movies Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma...particularly the first three. And it helps if you have a working knowledge of Hollywood inside jokes and United States Popular Culture. This isn't just a "Jay and Silent Bob" movie, it's a send-up of movies and filming in general.

Basically, what happened here was that Kevin Smith decided to make one long movie about the characters of Jay and Silent Bob, the annoying stoner and his usually silent sidekick that will be familiar to fans (and anti-fans) of Smith's films. If you've watched the movies and you know that the characters annoy you, it's a safe bet that this movie will annoy you even more. If you think the movie might be fun, watch it. Jay and Silent Bob aren't alone here. There's a long list of actors reprising their various roles from earlier Smith films, and they appear at different points throughout the journey.

Oh yeah...the journey...there is a story here, however slight. There's a movie being made about the Bluntman and Chronic comic. Jay and Silent Bob find out that people on the internet are bad mouthing the movie and the characters, so they travel to Hollywood to stop production on the movie before it can ruin their reputations. Or something like that. Along the way, they meet up with various side characters, including a group of girls traveling in a van fulfilling virtually every Charlie's Angel's joke you ever dreamed of. Jay falls in love with one of the girls. She loves him. There's an orangutan involved...

Listen. If you've read this far, you know what kind of movie it is. It's not pretending to be good (in fact, there's a running joke about just how bad this movie actually is that continues throughout the actual movie). It's one joke after another, a lot of them miss, but there's enough jokes to ensure that some of them will be funny. After watching several serious movies and immersing myself in Kevin Smith films for the past few weeks, I appreciated this movie. What else can I say?

The Bottom Line: Strictly for those who are fans of the characters.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Only 3 Stars?
Review: I'm not terribly thrilled with this movie considering my absolute love for Kevin Smith and his Jay & Silent Bob characters (I named my birds after the duo).

I own it simply because it was a gift, if I had the choice, I think I would have returned it for something better. Don't get me wrong, the movie is really good, in the Hollywood Comedy sort of way, but I'm sadly disappointed that it's not funny in the Kevin Smith sort of way like I (or anyone for that matter) would have expected.

I'm really sad to see the end of an era with Kevin Smith, it seems that he's really run out of steam and has now succumbed to Hollywood just for the sake of making a buck. Clerks, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, even Dogma all contain that funny movie with extremely intelligent undertones, this however is sadly just a comedy.

I say, see it and see what you feel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Snoochie Boochies
Review: This flick kicks major booty. I love how Kevin Smith ties in all his previous movies here. It's so action packed that you couldn't possibly get bored watching it. And the best thing is Jay and Silent Bob are finally the STARS!
