Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Pros: same old characters back again, funny, doesn't take itself seriously
Cons: may not be funny for those unfamiliar with Kevin Smith movies

Pros: Funny, crazy antics
Cons: Too much Jay, too convoluted for my taste

I firmly believe that Kevin Smith made this film to show that he made it as a director. The director of such acclaimed films like Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Dogma (sorry Mallrats) has made films that are perfect for his target ...

Pros: it's Kevin Smith
Cons: well for some, it's Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith is God... OK, so maybe I'm stepping over the boundaries of common sense just a ...

Pros: ::Simply hilarious! Countless cameo's::
Cons: ::Holden is not the same. May be too immature for some::

Ever since 1994, when the independent film “Clerks” hit the silver screen, two characters known as “Jay” and “Silent Bob” were a household name. They went on to do a few short MTV spots, a few other feature films...

Pros: Comedy riot with tons of hidden jokes. Cameos.
Cons: Tons of cussing.

Jay and Silent Bob set out for Hollywood to stop the production of a movie based on a comic book which is based on their lives. They travel from New Jersey to Hollywood and along the way encounter a hitch-hiker that lives by “the book”, a nun that also...

Pros: Smart, funny, well-acted, fast-paced comedy.
Cons: Not exactly groundbreaking, but were you expecting it to be?

More than other filmmaker in recent memory, writer-director Kevin Smith is unusually receptive and accessible to his rabid (and consistently growing) fanbase. The discussion board on his official website (viewaskew.com) is legendary for the amount of...

Pros: Funny dialogue; always great to see a new Kevin Smith film
Cons: Too many dick, fart and gay jokes; a reliance on celebrity cameos

Jay and Silent Bob are a joke that gets a little less funny with each subsequent retelling, so it's probably a good thing that Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, the fifth film to feature the popular stoners, has been christened their...

Pros: A lot of jokes that hits, and the first ever good Shannon Elizabeth performance.
Cons: Too many lame gags and needless cameo's.

Ask a person on the street what they think of Kevin Smith, and you can guarantee their answer will be a variant of either “I love his bitingly satirical mix of comedy and drama” or “I think he’s a self-referential, sexist homophobe”....

Pros: Total silliness, return of old characters, lots of laughs
Cons: REALLY vulgar, so it's not for everyone

Things you need to do before watching "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" in order to enjoy it.

1. Totally get the thought out of your head that you might see something with any sort of redeeming value, whatsover. Because you're not.
...

Pros: see this movie!
Cons: bashes 'gay' as an adjective...

An admitted weakness of mine is for the shock-value/infantile humor movie, a comedic sub-genre not disincluding such greats as Freddy Got Fingered, Austin Powers, South Park, and Road Trip among others. Such a movie also makes my 'best of all time' list...

Pros: The perfect end to a great film universe that pokes fun at the 'net.
Cons: Chris Rock was just as unfunny as Roger Ebert said he would be.

Before I even start my review of this film, I feel the need to admit that I am, indeed, a Kevin Smith fanboy. Through the years, Kevin Smith has taught me much about life including, but not limited to, obscure vocabulary words, acceptance of those who...

Pros: Almost painfully funny in places. Delightfully silly. A nice break from a PC world.
Cons: Shallow. Many jokes fall flat. Some cameos are a bit wasted.

I can never see Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back ever making it to free-to-air TV here in Australia. With the way our censorship of television goes, I expect the cleaned up for TV version of the film would run for about 90 seconds.
...

Pros: Knows and loves its audience...
Cons: ...but has no time for anyone else.

A SOMEWHAT HIGH-CONCEPT REVIEW OF THE MOVIE PROPER

What we have here is a film for very particular tastes. It's certainly not for everyone. Are you ready for the appealing coprolalia that is “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back”? To find...

Pros: Tracy Morgan......Will Ferrell a little
Cons: script, acting, Shannon Elizabeth, ...pretty much everything

“Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” can in no way give you a communicable disease. That’s the good news. The bad news is that it’s a terrible, stupid, criminally un-funny movie that is sure to disappoint even the most faithful Kevin Smith fans. On the...

Pros: Kevin Smith, Jason Lee, Randal & Dante, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon
Cons: None of the usual Kevin Smith wit, too commercialized

I just returned from the sneak preview of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. I'm a fan of Kevin Smith movies, I even liked Mallrats. Kevin Smith has a biting, dry, intellectual wit that makes his movies fun and funny. His characters are...
