Rating: Summary: not his best Review: but certainly entertaining enough.The title characters who fair so well in cameos seemed to be having hard time carrying a movie by themselves.However,it is funny most of the time and has terrific cameos... The second dvd features plenty of special features,which is great,but 42 deleted sceens?!!!Really?!!!!!seems a bit indulgent to me.A lot of them should've made it into a movie and in my opinion would have made the movie better... To sum up,a decent flick,far from Smith's best and by far the most self-indulgent,but nevertheless fun and worth the rental.To buy it however you'd have to be a hard core Kevin Smith's fan.
Rating: Summary: Great movie - if you get all the insider jokes! Review: I've seen Jay and Silent Bob in other movies like Dogma. They are consistent with their characters through several movies their characters are portrayed in and they now finally have a movie about themselves. It starts with how they become the stoner and quiet type they are today and moves to an adventure to quash those who would trash a movie that someone based upon their characters. So basically, its a movie within a movie.The movie is filled with crude humor and I expected it, thats why I made a point to see it. I love this type of humor with "F" this and "F" that often associated with the teen generation. Hey, I'm still a kid at heart, what can I say? So, if you like this type of humor, you'll appreciate "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back." I will say this though, the plot has much to be desired. It's a clever spoof but if it weren't for the constant humor, I'd have been bored out of my mind. I think they could have done a better job by writing a different plot for the story. If you have never seen Jay and Silent Bob in other movies nor know what they are about, you might not appreciate the movie because it is filled with insider jokes that previous patrons are aware of, such as why Ben Afflek is so involved in various ways. You'd serve yourself wise to view Dogma first to understand many aspects of this movie. For instance, those who've not previously viewed Dogma or other movies with this duo, would not know what the cow is all about that keeps surfacing. These are reasons for my average "3" star rating. The acting is fun and predictable and that's why I enjoyed it. It would get a higher rating if it were funny to all who viewed it. I just don't find that to be the case. Oh well, I still had fun with it and will watch it again when I want good mindless entertainment!

Rating: Summary: oh MY this movie is Stupid!! Review: This would be one of the worst movie ever made if I didn't like the Jay and Silent Bob Characters.... the movie is HORRIBLE... the plot is so stupid. Some of it was a bit too vulgar as well.... not in a funny way like the previous movies but in a stupid "American Pie" type of way. Yuck! I still like Jay and Silent Bob the characters.. they were my favorites in the other movies... I can't BELIEVE how [junky] this movie was. The ENTIRE thing about the monkey was stupid.. every last scene with or about the monkey [stunk]. The entire time they talked about how bad the movie was IN THE MOVIE... he knew it was a bad movie.. so why did he make it???

Rating: Summary: a lot of fun.. Review: Kevin Smith has always been a great director. You should go see this movie because it's a lot of fun. It was like a big reunion. It was the kind of movie where everyone would fly out for one day to be a part of it. It was really fun.
Rating: Summary: It Really Has Grown On Me Review: I am a Kevin Smith fan and have enjoyed the first four movies in the Jay and Silent Bob series. I am also a frequent surfer of his ViewAskew website and read for months prior to its release about the fun that everybody had in making "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and that this was going to be the best in the bunch. When the movie came out, I was one of the first in line to see it. I have to admit that I was extremely disappointed and came out with the opinion that Jay and Silent Bob were best suited as support players and not lead characters. I just felt that Jay was at his best when he chimed in here and there with a foul-mouthed smart-aleck comment instead of having to sustain it for 100 minutes. But I am a completest and since I have all of the other Kevin Smith movies on DVD, I had to make this purchase for no other reason to get the outtakes and to hear the director's commentary track. Unlike most other commentary tracks where the director treats his movie like it is "Citizen Kane", ViewAskew commentaries are hilarious as the participants rag on each other, criticize Hollywood executives and some of the actors and aren't afraid to admit that a particular scene stunk. After a couple of different relooks at the movie, I have to say I like it and would rank it as the second best of the five (I unabashedly state that "Mallrats" is my favorite - although I'm probably the only one in the world who would say that). It is a well shot movie, with great music and great performances by Shannon Elizabeth (she actually can act), Judd Nelson, Will Ferrell and most of all by Jason Mewes as Jay. Cameos by Jason Lee, Ben Affleck, George Carlin (he's not washed up after all), Mark Hamill, Matt Damon and Deidrich Bader (from Drew Carey's show) were all enjoyable. My only criticism is that Chris Rock's cameo as an angry African-American movie director came off to me as extremely hateful and is a real turnoff. I don't know the point that Kevin Smith was trying to make with that character, but he failed miserably, both at the theater and on DVD. This was a nice wrapup to the Jay and Silent Bob story. I look forward to seeing what Kevin Smith can do with other characters in future projects.
Rating: Summary: What's your malfunction little man? Review: How can any Kevin Smith DVD be less than 5 stars? I am not reviewing the film, but the DVD release. The sound quality is good and the picture quality is the best of all his releases. The commentary isn't nearly as good as Mallrats, but he didn't have Affleck to be the comic that he is. The extras are good. The gag reel was my favorite. I enjoyed the deleted scenes but none were really needed except to satisfy the fans.
