Summary: I am so glad...
Review: ...I haven't paid to see a Kevin Smith film since Clerks. Luckily for me a friend of mine buys every DVD in the world and I can watch films at his house before I buy them.
The one thing I found really funny about this movie was how Smith anticipated the negative reviews and showed his insecurities by continuously attacking the droves of people who would hate it.
One annoying aspect of the film is that Kevin Smith seems obsessed with homosexual issues. It seemed every couple of minutes there was something about how this guy wants to have sex with this other guy but doesn't want to admit it. There's even a scene where Silent Bob prepares to perform Oral sex on his zany friend, Jay!
The fact that people gave this movie 5 stars is truly a sign that we are living in a truly decrepit society.

Summary: It's Just Fun...that's it
Review: If you know Kevin Smith's other works than you know these guys. If you don't know Kevin Smith's other works then this movie will be seem to be a lame joke-a-thon. This was definitely Kevin's lightest of all his movies. It was obvious he was just having some fun, and if you are a TRUE fan, you will get the inside jokes, and would have seen it in the theatre. Jay and SB are on a trip to stop a bad movie of themselves from getting made, hince "Stike back" itself is a "bad movie" of themselves that was made. See Kevin's other movies first, twice, then go to his website- then see the movie. It's definitely a lot of good friends that made a movie. Kind of like a card "From all of us" to "All of you".

Summary: Kevin Smith finally makes a bad film. Unfortunatly.
Review: Smith made this instead of the proposed 'Clerks 2'. This film is not a fraction as funny as it thinks it is, Jason Lee has two parts but no funny lines and the cameos from the view askew old skool cast are far too short and all come together when they should have been spread across the film. A bad way to end the trilogy. Nuff said.

Summary: Not very good.
Review: I rented this the other night and was disappointed to say the least. I like Kevin Smith's other movies, and I think anyone else familiar with his work will agree with me when I say JASBSB is lacking. Sure, it had it's funny moments.... However, the kind of humor and wit present in Kevin Smith's other movies is totally lacking in JASBSB, and was for the most part substituted with high-school level toilet-humor that really got old after a while. To anyone new to Kevin Smith's movies, do yourself a favor and go buy Clerks and Mallrats before watching this one.

Summary: I'm a fan...but this disappointed me.
Review: Let me first say off the cuff that I worship Kevin Smith. I thought Mallrats was hilarious, that Dogma was genius, and that Chasing Amy is one of the best relationship/comedy movies that will ever be made. I missed this latest film of Kevin's at theaters, and couldn't wait for the dvd release...I bought it right away, without any preview or rental. Such is my faith in Smith's ability to entertain. And I always found Jay and Silent Bob priceless. I couldn't believe what I saw. The movie let me down. It seemed like a two-hour inside joke that I wasn't in on. I kept on trying to look for some redeeming joke or humor in the film, but as the credits rolled I was at a loss. There are some funny moments---Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Jason Lee goofing off. But that just didn't justify a purchase at all. For fans I'd have to say it's a periodic rental at best. If you aren't a fan, don't even think about seeing this film. Hope Kevin makes it up to us in Jersey Girl.

Summary: It's about belly laughs - and Smith has a big belly
Review: I got more belly laughs out of this movie than anything since "Tommy Boy". The scene in which Jay throws down the gauntlet to the Internet film geeks may well be the greatest use of profanity in the history of film comedy. And Jason Mewes's performance is breathtaking in its shamelessness. Even the jokes that fall flat (i.e. everything involving Will Ferrell) fit in with the movie's agreeably ramshackle conception. The DVD bonus material is above-average but, as is usually the case with these things, unlikely to be watched more than once. I found it most interesting for Smith's introduction of his wife and daughter. It's as if, after making a feature-length film whose central theme is his terror of being homosexual, he had to say, "Look! See? I'm all man!" That said, I can't give it five stars because ultimately it's a feature-length film whose central theme is the director's terror of being homosexual. It's not that I would force Smith to conform to the standards of political correctness. (As long as you're willing to give someone equal rights under the law, I don't particularly care whether you like them or not.) But gay-panic this severe not only isn't funny, it's kind of depressing.

Summary: Not for the ancient, cleverless, w/out sense of nextgenhumor
Review: If you are an old fashioned comedy fan and you don't know what's funny about Jay and Silent Bob using the money they made from their movie to go and beat the... out of every guy that insulted them at the net, then you are not made for this next generation comedy. These guys have charisma, these guys are funny, I don't care if Jay says... a million times, that's ONE of the things that make him so funny! Of course, Smith, just like Mike Myers, is a genius at this generation x style comedy. It is for the new and challenging mind. Its stupidity is ingenious. If you don't get it, don't dare say anything negative about it!!! It's clever!!! Forget about Cheech and Chong, Wayne and Garth, Bill & Ted, Batman & Robin, Morris & Jerome, even the Trinity Brothers!!! Jay and Silent Bob go way beyond in the Chemistry factor. Jay is hilarious, Bob is intelligently funny. This is one of the best comedies I've seen in my life, and I love Austin Powers and even Albert Brooks' "Defending your Life"; Like I said before, Smith is for the new generation of comedy...stupidly ingenious!!! of course, the cast kicks ass!!!
FLAWLESS in its imperfection...

Summary: For Hardcore View Askewers...
Review: Both the film and it's DVD were made for the hardcore view askew crowd. The ones that follow all the dramatics surrounding Kevin Smith. The ones that know all the interconnections between his Jay and Bob films. The film itself is twice as funny if you've seen his previous films. The DVD was made even more for the fan club... All the intros are filmed at Kevin Smith's comic book store in Red Bank. He brings in family and friends. Throughout, he touches on issues like the Catholic League (protested Dogma) and GLAAD (protested this one... until he paid a four zero donation) We, having followed both and many other such examples on sites like newsaskew.com know exactly what he's talking about. And personally, I feel that's just great. Smith and crew would be nowhere without their devoted fanbase. Smith reconizes this and plays, although his outreach to fans is what built it up so large to begin with. The special features range from the mundane (trailers) to the obscure (a detailed guide to Moris Day and the Time) to the View Askew staples (commentary and deleted scenes) View Askew has always made great deleted scenes sections. Here we get 40 of 'em. The film itself is presented in wonderful anamorphic widescreen at the theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. This film is Smith's most visually complex and cohesive effort yet (perhaps due to having such an experienced D.P.?), so this is important. The audio track is also Smith's most complex effort yet... The 5.1 Dolby Digital track is surprisingly active, compared to the dialog driven tracks found on the DVDs of his previous efforts. Bottom Line: If you're a View Askew fan, you'll love this DVD. If you're not, this movie may make you one.

Summary: Return of the Jersey Jedi's
Review: What Kevin Smith lacks in his chronological skills, (After all, this is the fifth film in what he cleverly calls the "New Jersey Trilogy". FOr those who miss the irony, trilogies are made up of threes.) he makes up with vulgar language and crass humor. This film carries the most extreme humor in the series: some bad, some good. What Smith deserves the most credit for with this film is creating a synergy between all the films. Most of his friends are back, including his wife and child. Ben Affleck returns as both the character he played in Chasing Amy and as "Ben Affleck" in a great scene on the set of "GOOD WILL HUNTING 2: HUNTING SEASON" starring Matt Damon. In essence, he took all the running gags from the series and worked to tie them all together. Every cross-reference has fans of the series in serious laughter. On the flipside of that, non-fans will most likely be miserable, as they are not in on the joke. To them, the plot is just an excuse to tie together drugs, flatulence and fornication jokes. Yes, Smith took all the criticisms his early films received and compounded the offense. There are several movie references and cameo appearances as it is 'hip' to be in a Kevin Smith film. Even Mark Hamill appears in an anti-Luke Skywalker role. This appears to be his film with the largest budget as many of the others had independent film scope. The 2 DVD set includes a commentary by Smith, Jason Mewes and producer Scott Mosier. It is always fun but not as witty as earlier efforts. It also enough cut and alternate scenes to make an entire film. Yjese have nice introductions by Smith and his peeps. These are shot within "Jay and Silent Bob's secret stash", a comic book store in New Jersey. They unashamedly sell their wears on occasion! The DVD also carries the usual making of documentary and trailers. .... This film is an adolescent road trip.

Summary: Not that funny
Review: I think that they tried too hard to be funny and ended up just being stupid.They could have done a lot better of a job.
