Summary: The swan-song for View Askew
Review: I remember the first time I heard this was coming out into the movies...I was psyched but upset a lil cause this is the last one. But I couldn't wait to see it.When I saw it in the movies, I could not stop laughing...the cameos were awesome (especially Mark Hammill...OH MY GOD WAS THAT FUNNY). I loved how all 4 Askew movies factored in too. The DVD is great. The deleted scenes are great (I love the Darth Randal one). With everything on this disk, you have to get it. Word of advice though...get Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma & Clerks the Animated Series first. SNOOCH TO THE NOOCH!

Summary: Great Movie
Review: Jay and Silent Bob is a great movie. If you've seen any of their movies in the past, this one will not let you down. If you have never seen a J&SB movie before, you better be in for a lot of the F word.
The movie is packed with big stars and lots of laughs. The Bong Saber scene between Mark Hamille(Luke Skywalker) and J&SB is my favorite, but there are tons more great scenes.
Oveer all, I give Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back a four out of five stars.

Summary: Not by the Book
Review: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is another fantastic addition to the Jersey Trilogy (although there are five in the series) from writer/director Kevin Smith. It is also one of the best. As the film begins we find Jay and Silent Bob in front of the convenient store peddling dope to kids(as in Clerks). Shortly after that they discover from Brody (Jason Lee from Mallrats) that there is a movie being made from the comic book, Bluntman and Chronic, based on their likeness. Jay and Bob go to see Holden (Ben Affleck from Chasing Amy), the co-creator of the comic book, only to discover he has sold out to Banky (Jason Lee from Chasing Amy). After scanning the net to see the pre-buzz on the film Jay and Bob are upset with the criticism and decide to go to Hollywood to stop the film. This is when the film really gets going. Along the way they encounter a perverted hitchhiker, a nun, a gang of Charlie's Angelesque animal rights activists, a wildlife marshal, an orangutan, police, racist directors, sell-out actors, and a Jedi Knight. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is hilarious. It is loaded with some of the foulest, low-blow, obscene humor ever written, which is great. Smith has managed to tie together so many elements of his past films. Many of the characters in the movie were seen previously in Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy. The film is also loaded with celebrity cameos, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck doing Good Will Hunting 2, and Mark Hamill as the villain were two of the best. Jon Stewart as the newscaster was also great. Will Ferrell as the wildlife marshall steals every scene. Smith has said that this will be the last film featuring Jay and Silent Bob. I hope that is not true, but if it is this was the right way to send them out. I recommend seeing Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy before seeing this film simply because there are some jokes that a person who has not seen these films will be left out on. Additionally, as with all Kevin Smith films, the DVD is loaded and a must have for any fan of the series. This movie really is a trip, finally I understand Suzanne.

Summary: Pure genius
Review: Perhaps the funniest movie since Airplane! has the best DVD since Terminator 2. The jokes in this range from subtle in-jokes to Stoogian slapstick, and 98% of them are hit, with very few groaners. The extras are, simply put, incredible. The deleted scenes are hilarious, with two running jokes deleted that are each as funny as everything in the film ... as well as a hilarious short called "Let's go back to the station house" featuring a collection of Judd Nelson ad-libs, and the full version of the news broadcast, 10 minutes of Jon Stewart and Will Ferell ad-libbing with one another. In short, buy this DVD. It's that simple.

Summary: Great Job, good for "pot-heads"?
Review: Well I do not like this typic of comedy, but this was outstanding! I better watch what I type just incase they come and get me :). Anyways this is a brilliant movie and has a good plot as well. This is good for those 8 grade marijuana users to see why you shouldn't do drugs.

Summary: Obnoxious movie
Review: I guess being older somewhat dulls the senses to what is hip or not, but I found the film bad. Vulgar is sometimes vulgar and this movie is. I was embarrassed to be in the room with teenage girls watching this, because it didn't deliver enough laughs or have a clever enough premise to cover the foul language. I think the voting on this is the "emperor's new clothes" syndrome. It just isn't cool to be contrary to the new hip talent... It is also a lame attempt at counter-culture quasi-intellectualism. Who the heck cares if these people are really intelligent or not. The movie isn't entertaining and that's what these artists are suppose to be doing, not qualifying me for mensa.

Summary: A messy movie. Not without funny moments, but mostly bad.
Review: The intent at a Hollywood satire was admirable, but this film isn't nearly as funny or deep as it wants to be. Not to say it has no enjoyable moments, but this film tries to do too many things at the same time and ends up falling flat half the time. On the plus side: Shannon Elizabeth makes some unusual choices and ended up successfully salvaging a character which on paper was completely unworkable. Justice's "attraction" to Jay has no credibility thanks to an underdeveloped script, but Elizabeth's endearing geekiness, complete with large glasses and offbeat reactions, at least makes the character interesting to watch. Eliza Dushku, a confident pro at comedy, is of course infallible, gamely attacking dialogue that's often awkward and overwritten, and even Ali Larter and Jennifer Schwalbach (the real-life Mrs. Kevin Smith) are watchable in tiny roles. Smith himself fares well as Silent Bob, Suzanne the orangutan makes for a nice sparring partner for Silent Bob, and many of the real-person cameos (Ben Affleck, Jason Biggs, Wes Craven, Jules Asner) hit home. The down sides are many. Jason Mewes, for once, looks utterly embarrassed and uncomfortable in a Smith movie. Perhaps it's the burden of being the leading man and not being up for the task. Smith himself, unfortunately, said it best: Too much of Jay and Silent Bob is tiresome indeed. Will Ferrell is 100% unfunny, further worsened by how funny he thinks he is. Do we *really* need those monkey expressions when Willenholly is firing his gun?
The dialogue is some of Smith's worst, filled with profanity for little reason, except without the pizazz of Clerks. The fact is, most actors have trouble with Smith's very writerly dialogue, dressed up to the max with four-letter words and extra-long sentences, attempting a level of syntactical complexity that's verbally unfeasible. And a parody of The Fugitive eight years after the fact? Please. All this aside, it is really the failure of the central relationship that makes this movie seem fake and contrived. We're never really given a reason why Justice likes Jay so much she'd give up everything for him, and vice versa. Hell, even Silent Bob's connection to "Suzanne" is better examined. Once again, it's an example of how Smith is great at little moments but always falters when he aims too high, either emotionally or thematically. The best moments in this movie are small details: Jay and Silent Bob uncomfortably trying to settle in front of a gas station; Jay and Bob running into a fake background; Justice getting picked on by the "Charlie's Angels" crew; Dushku's hilarious come-on to a pizza-delivery man; a flashback to Jay and Bob when they were babies; and of course, a sorely missed revisitation of the slack but utterly hilarious interactions between Dante and Randall, carried over from Clerks. The much-debated gay jokes in this movie have two sides to them. On one hand, Smith doesn't exclude himself from the jokes -- his own character Silent Bob is in fact often the butt-end of these jokes. At the same time, since the jokes don't really add up to any kind of statement, it is simply impossible to claim the gay jokes as a satire of homophobia. So at the end of the day, they are what they are -- jokes at the expense of homosexuals. And not so funny, either, because of how self-conscious they sound. As for the satire on Hollywood? Most of what happens after Jay and Bob arrive on the Miramax lot is quite good. But why did it take us so long in getting there? And though the mad dash through various movie sets is generally funny, Smith's pop-culture references become incredibly tiring at this point. I hope Kevin Smith would stop making movies about "big issues" and concentrate on what he does best: Lowbrow, absurdist comedy about the common people, people he knows well inside and out. After eight years, Clerks remains his best film.

Summary: Jason Mewes is the funniest thing about this movie...
Review: I wanted to like this movie a whole lot more than I did. The humor just does not match up to Dogma or even Mallrats. Jason Mewes surprisingly had the talent to pull off leading star status. I definitely look forward to seeing him in future movies. My recommendation is to rent the movie.

Summary: One of the funniest movies...EVER!!!
Review: ...I saw this movie because I'm a really big fan of View Askew and Kevin Smith. I laughed until it hurt from the great dialogue, the outstanding characters, the rampant profanity, and Silent Bob's facial expressions. Tip, only see this movie with guys, girls hate it and will get offended. Another tip, it really helps to have seen the 4 previous Jay and Silent Bob movies so you can get all of the "in" jokes in this. Also the DVD is packed with TONS upon TONS of extras, including 2 music videos, director and actor commentary, tv specials, and over and hour of deleted scenes so it's almost like you get the NC-17 rated cut of the movie. WATCH THIS AND LAUGH...!! The funniest of Kevin Smith's films
