Rating: Summary: The lamest of the bunch Review: Absolutely the worst of the "series." Clerks and Mallrats were brilliant in their inanity with great characters. "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" lacks any of the charm or wit of the previous films and is clearly a blatant attempt to cash in just one more time. Just horrible. There are no less than 3 times that the characters in the movie look at the camera a smirk/shrug, a true sign...
Rating: Summary: very funny Review: this movie is a must see if you are a kevin smith fan. I'd advise watching all his other movies before this one to get some jokes you wouldn't if you didn't. like jay's "beserker" t-shirt. and jason lee's bearded and non bearded characters. this movie was hilarious. I wouldn't reccomend to people who didn't like kevin smith's other films, though.
Rating: Summary: Funny yet sad ending to the escapades of Jay and Bob Review: A great way to end the saga that started with Clerks. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back has the most jokes of any of the other Smith films. It also brings back many of the funny parts of the other films, through cameos of past characters and lines that have been used about such topics as "chocolate covered pretzels." I would definitely reccomend seeing some of the other Smith films, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, etc., before checking out Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back since it will make your viewing of Jay and Silent Bob that much funnier.Needless to say this movie is a must for anyone that has at least one other Smith film on DVD.
Rating: Summary: "Call me Darth Balls. BONGGGG!" -- Jay Review: The funniest film of Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma. I heard this is the last film from writer/director Kevin Smith, I hope thats not true but if it is at least he left us with one last great kick ... movie. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is the first Smith movie where Jay and Silent Bob are the main characters, we travel with them across country from Jersey to Cali, where they want to stop a Marimax movie from being made that is based on the comic strip likeness of themselves, Blunt Man and Chronic written by Holden McNeil and Banky, because not only are they not making any money off the movie based on their comic books but the movie is already being bashed on the internet when it hadn't even been released yet. Watching the movie you'll laugh as Jay and Silent Bob trip with Scoobey Doo and the gag in the Mystery van, post long, threatening and seriously funny messages on internet message boards, Jay falls in love with an international dimond smuggler who he thinks is actually an animal activist, which he buys mind you, and you'll really laugh your a-s off when Jay and Silent Bob become a gay couple and successfuly pass off a monkey as their adopted son, for only about 5 seconds though, when in all actuality they stole the monkey, which Jay's girlfriend "died" for. This movie is just one laugh after another! Don't rent it, BUY it!
Rating: Summary: Jay and Silent Bob Sell Out Review: If you loved "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America", or love flatline movies based on SNL skits, then you will absolutely love this movie. However if you expect more from Kevin Smith, and his creations "Jay and Silent Bob", you will be disapointed by "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back". Maybe that's not an altogether fair comparison. I did laugh three or four times during this movie, so it was marginally better than a SNL skit movie. "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" is at heart just another brainless misadventure on the road movie. Nothing more, maybe a little less. I would have given this film fewer stars if I wasn't a sucker for the inside jokes and references to other Kevin Smith films.
Rating: Summary: Kevin Smith is a genius Review: Not for making this film, though. This is a great movie nonetheless. It's filled with nonstop humor (mostly...fart jokes) from start to stop. Not my favorite of Kevin Smith's films, it definetly ranks up there. The bonus material is great too. Like, 2 or 3 hours of deleted scenes and extended sequences. It took me forever to chech it all out. It was worth it.
Rating: Summary: VERY FUNNY Review: A VERY FUNNY MOVIE THAT WILL HAVE YOU LAUGHING HOWEVER MANY TIMES YOU WATCH IT.
Rating: Summary: Five Squating Dogs Review: This isn't the worst recent comedy I've seen in the past few years--that would be DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? But this is certainly the worst recent comedy that has so many snobbish defenders. I've really tried to give Kevin Smith's films a chance (I've seen four of his "trilogy"), but they've all been awful. Bad direction, amateur acting, smug-but-shallow dialogue. The one I haven't seen is MALLRATS and I've heard from Smith fans it's the worst, which is frightening to consider. All of this could be overlooked if there was anything funny. There's a recent trend in "comedies" that if another film is referred to, then it's funny. The SCARY MOVIE guys have beat that to a bloody mess. But to simply just reference other movies isn't funny--it just makes me wish I was watching the other movie! As characters, Jay & Silent Bob have about as much range and depth as Pauly Shore. And will probably share a similar shelf-life....
Rating: Summary: Pretty ...Good Review: If you are a fan a of Kevin Smith movies then "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" will amuse you. Jay and Silent Bob are still the same potty mouth stoners looking to get laid that they have always been. The clever ideas Smith has always based his films apon remains. Yet, if you are yearning for another movie about hanging out in a mall, debating over which segment of the Star Wars is best you won't find it here. Jay and Silent Bob's solo work is to be applauded but it does not supply the magic of Clerks or Mallrats.
Rating: Summary: Kevin Smith just keeps getting better! Review: The first Kevin Smith movie I saw was Chasing Amy and have seen all the rest including Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back, and they just keep getting better and better. Jay And Silent Bob is entirely full of laugh's every time I watch it, I laugh harder. And the DVD extra's are more then worth the price! There's tone's of extra footage that will keep you laughing for hours and hours on end! You can not be a REAL Kevin Smith fan if you don't agree that this is one of the best movies EVER!
