Summary: Don't Buy for the Extras
Review: While I enjoyed the movie itself, this DVD is extremely disappointing. The movie commentary (normally my favorite part of a Kevin Smith DVD) is boring and inane, and the extras on the second disc are little more than advertising for View Askew merchandise. After the spectacular Dogma DVD, this one is a huge letdown, doubly so because it's the end of the Jersey Trilogy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this is your movie

Summary: So very disappointed
Review: I loved Clerks, that was the best film Kevin Smith did. It seems that every film after that was just a disappointment in comparasion to Clerks. Even with the very raunchy subject matter and the language, I still find Clerks a very funny movie. and the characters of Jay and Silent Bob are more background in it.
I'm sorry I have to compare this to Clerks, but it just doesn't even hold any sort of candle to Smith's first and best effort.
Watching this movie, I could only think that Smith had decided to totally make fun of the two characters and make cartoons out of them. I'm not really sure what Kevin Smith was trying to prove by creating this piece of very unfunny and annoyingly bad film.
All the cameos in the world(from the stars of all his past efforts) couldn't make this movie any better. I thought that the tremendous amount of swearing that Jason Mewes' character, Jay, spews out was just more than I could take. He should be trying out for a part on the Sopranos' next. The language was bad, the script was atrocious and unfunny. I was very disappointed with this movie, and totally do not recommend it. Watch Clerks instead. Jay and silent Bob struck out on this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good comedy, great DVD!
Review: Kevin Smith brings his View Askewniverse to a satisfying close with one of the most bold comedies I've ever seen. Now it's here in all it's glory on the format of the future! The pictures is crystal clear and the 5.1 Dolby Digital sound mix is extraordinary, perfectly balancing everything from Jay's unbelievable chants to the kick-[buttom] music. Don't get me started with the supplements: over 40 deleted scenes, a bunch of trailers, a hilarious commentary with Smith, Scott Mosier, and Jay himself, music videos, and much more to keep you laughing and scratching your head of the things that could be put on film. Rent it or better yet, buy it now!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Extremely uneven, but worth a look.
Review: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is one of those movies that you'll probably either love or hate. It was essentially made for devotees of writer/actor/director Kevin Smith's other films (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma), and if you haven't seen those films quite a few times, many of the jokes in this movie won't register.

I've always thought that Kevin Smith gets a bit too much credit for his films. While I admit that Clerks is a classic, Mallrats and Dogma were both disasters (in their own ways) while Chasing Amy couldn't decide what it wanted to be. JSBSB is a return to his Clerks' roots in some respects. While the first 25 minutes are hilarious, the movie really gets spotty with the addition of the annoying and pointless jewel thiefs played by Shannon Elizabeth, Eliza Dushku, Ali Larter and Kevin Smith's wife (can't remember her name.) The movie would have worked MUCH better if he had just kept it as a series of random encounters with other characters. The movie does pick up the pace a bit near the end, but there were quite a few times where the movie got tedious for me.

But, if you loved the film, you must pick up the DVD as it has a ton of extras including close to 50(!) deleted and extended scenes and lots of behind the scenes stuff. Miramax/Dimension did a stellar job with the DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the funniest comedies ever!
Review: Forget American Pie. Screw Road Trip. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is the best comedy of it's kind, hand's down. Where AP and others held back, J&SB goes right for it. Tons of profanity, lots of drug use, and more profanity are a must for this sort of movie, and it is in this one. There are countless hilarious moments, and some good scenes involving a monkey. The DVD rocks, with some hilarious outtakes and loads of Cut scenes. If you want something to do, rent Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and I guarantee you will laugh your [butt] off. snoogans!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: For the easily amused, the VERY easily amused.
Review: Here we have a dog of a film that even the legendary Ed Wood would blush at being involved with. It should appeal to the same sort...who watch MTV's "Real World" or who think that Tom Green is funny. This flick is a real candidate for worst movie of the year.

The question is how this fowl-mouthed disgrace ever got an R rating. NC-17 would be far more appropriate. Crude, pointless and unfunny "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" is a monument to the overweening self-indulgence of the new generation of Hollywood "Producers". (Note to Hollywood: the word "Producer" connotes that something of even slight value is eventually "produced".)

It appears that many of the actors who appeared in this ...thought that they were part of something that would ultimately seem hip. The non-stop self-referentialism is completely over-the-top. The couple of times that the actors try to be really "hip" and call this movie a bad movie were unknowingly prophetic, for the movie IS a total bomb.

Even the charisma of an actress like Eliza Dushku is incapable of bringing even slight interest to this utter dog of a cinematic farce.

Summary: One of the best movies all year!
Review: I have fallen in love with Kevin Smith's movies over time. Slowly getting a chance to watch them all. He has gotten better with each film that he has released. I would have to say that this one took the cake!
I laughed so hard during this movie that I was shedding tears and my sides were aching. It was great, I haven't laughed that good in ages. :)
I also fell in love with Jay and Silent Bob throughout the other movies (Dogma mostly did it for me) and was wondering when they were going to be main characters. Well here it was.
It is definately worth seeing, even more worth buying!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Way overrated and overproduced
Review: After hearing all the hype about this movie and enjoying mallrats, I decided to rent this disaster. Everyone told me how funny it is, but I still have yet to find a funny five seconds in this movie.

Smith is hardly qualified to have a starring role in any movie let alone relying on facial expressions to do his acting. 98% of the time his charecter is silent leaving the even less talented Mewes to pick up the lost crappy dialog. Throw in tasteless profanity and you have a waste of two hours.

Here's how I figured the two stars:

One is for the fact that there are some good cameos in here that should be in many other movies, which saves this movie from being a "b-movie".

The other star is for the fact that Ali Larter has a role. Personally I think she is way too underrated and simply blows Shannon Elisibeth out of the water, not only in the looks department but as an actress too.

If you want to see a funny movie get something by the farrelly brothers.
If you want to see good raunchy comedy see porkys or american pie.
If you want a good sequil see ap2.
If you want to see more of Ali Larter get Varsity Blues.
If you want to see a good Kevin Smith movie get Mallrats.
If you want to waste your time and money get this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Though packed with extras, it was funnier in the theater.
Review: When I saw this at the movies last year I laughed so hard I nearly cried. Naturally, it loses a bit of its comic impact on the small screen. But the bonus goodies that come with this 2-disc set more than make up for that shortcoming. It helps to be familiar with Kevin Smith's earlier films to get all the jokes, not that it isn't funny on its own. Not as intelligent as "Dogma", "JASBSB" still packs some outrageous humor and pulls no punches - plenty here to offend everyone!
