Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Pros: It eventually ended.
Cons: everything

A few years ago, I caught about 15 minutes of this movie and that was quite enough for me. Unfortunately, one of my friends has a copy of this movie and wanted to watch it the other night. I rolled my eyes and prepared to fall asleep on her couch. Well, ...

Pros: The audience is spared some of the vivid sexual details.
Cons: The “f” word is used over 200 times plus other colorful phrases.

I was fortunate to be off on this Labor Day weekend and had the opportunity to go to the movies for I though would be a little comedy relief. Kevin Smith’s new comedy “Jay and Silent Bob Strike back” is a comedy that takes pot shots at Hollywood,...

Pros: Consistently funny
Cons: Appeals to a younger age demographic; not first-time viewers of Kevin Smith

Over the course of the last seven years, writer-director Kevin Smith has given us a series of New Jersey tales that have mixed humor with insight into the things that matter to his generation. All of them have included a duo known as Jay (Jason Mewes)...

Pros: A handful of truly uproarious scenes...
Cons: ...buried in a whole lot of stagnant vulgarity.

I can't tell you all how much I was looking forward to seeing Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. As a longtime supporter of Kevin Smith and his films (despite only really "liking" two of his four earlier films), I was anticipating a non-stop...

Pros: Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! This film is a non-stop joke-fest.
Cons: A few of the jokes just don't work.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is a hilarious comedy that takes a swing at everybody and manages to connect consistently right smack on your funny bone. By far, this is out-and-out the funniest film of the year.

Not only does...

Pros: Not really. The blonde clerk from 'Clerks', who we haven't seen for a while.
Cons: Pretty well everything.

The question actually becomes, 'Is there anything to say about this movie?' The answer, oddly enough for a self-proclaimed movie critic, is no. This movie just comes down to a recommendation, a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. There is simply no point to...

Pros: Smart comedy with a great cast
Cons: Shannon Elizabeth is a cancer on Hollywood

Yep, that's right folks...for once I actually got off my lazy tail and caught a movie during its sneak preview. This was an unprecedented event for me, as I am famous for shunning big crowds and only catch in theater flicks during midday hours (thus...

Pros: Lots of old favorite 'View Askew' characters appear in cameos.
Cons: It's sloppy, poorly written and not very funny.

I know all of my fans have been waiting with incredible anticipation for me to report on my Lester, Live at Red Rocks!!! concert and PBS fund raiser. We taped last night and I'm sure it'll be one of public television's more memorable evenings....

Pros: Lots of celebrity cameos and laugh out loud funniness
Cons: A few things don't work

Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. It is very creative, very original, very hilarious, and very dirty. Althought it has no nudity, it does have enough profanity and sexual innuendos to...

Pros: References to earlier movies, Shannon Elizabeth, The monkey
Cons: Crude, Lacks substance, Acting is uninspired

Hey, before I begin, has anyone else noticed problems today with using Epinions’ search function for products? I was all set to post my pre-written review of The Lorax cartoon, but when I did my product search to find it (I had checked earlier to...

Pros: Damn near the funniest movie I've ever seen
Cons: crude and potentially offensive humor, but presently in an almost classy way

Kevin Smith is the man!

The writer/director of CLERKS, MALLRATS, CHASING AMY, and DOGMA has once again upped the ante in what I believe is to be the last of the CLERKS series made by his View Askew films. Jay and Silent Bob, the lovable...

Pros: This is the end of the Red Rock NJ Series
Cons: This is the end of the Red Rock NJ Series

Introduction

Cons: Last J&SB movie, Not for everyone due to vulgar humor.

Director Kevin Smith finally gives his drug-dealing duo, Jay and Silent Bob the spotlight in his newest flick Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Having appearances in Mall Rats, Clerks , Chasing Amy, and starring roles in...

Pros: Some hilarious and subversive humor.
Cons: Some of the jokes don't hit the mark.

(As I sit down to write this review I hear a loud knock on my front door. I get up from my computer to answer and find myself confronted with two guys I would rather not see right now. The faces of Jay (Jason Mewles) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith).)
...

Pros: Some funny parts, hasn't quite lost the attitude
Cons: Hit/miss jokes, acting, language, rough pacing

In an effort to escape watching The Lawrence Welk show last Saturday night*, I decided to go out to the movies. After searching all over the place for a theater (boy they are closing down a lot around the Seattle area!), I finally settled on...
