Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Pros: Smith fans will love this; good ending to the series
Cons: Smith detractors will hate this; faults are there

Kevin Smith is someone you either love or hate. Guys like Ebert rave about his original dialogue and balls out approach. Others lament about the too much swearing his movies have, and some even just use the move reviews to bash him instead of the film he...

Pros: Some really funny scenes.
Cons: Not enough to make into a feature length film.

Every once in awhile, in a season of "blah" movies, there comes a film so funny, so ingenious, so honest, that it puts the rest of the season to shame.

I haven't seen that film yet this summer, and as Septemeber wears on, it looks like...

Pros: Funny, funny, funny, good actors, the chimp...
Cons: the plot was really stupid

Before I begin I have to tell everyone that I was just reading the movie details and it says the MPAA rating is PG-13. I don't know about everyone else but the movie I went to see was rated R. This is seriously not for sensitve teens, little kids,...

Pros: Fulls of laughs. Non-stop laughfest. Did I mention its funny
Cons: A little bit too short.

Kevin Smith is one versatile man. He acted, wrote, and directed this movie. He plays Silent Bob, Jay is played by Jason Mewes. The movie starts out near a convenience store where two parents leave their children to shop for some groceries. It...

Pros: Outrageously Vulgar Jay and Stupendously Silent Bob Strike Back!
Cons: The vulgar words and phrases almost made me wash my mouth out with soap.

Considering all of the movies this summer, this film is the green apple out of the big bushel of red apples. We've had The Mummy Returns, Rush Hour 2, Pearl Harbor, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, and American Pie 2. Ok ok, I guess there are two green...

Pros: If you are Die Hard Kevin Smith fan this is for you!
Cons: None Really

"Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" is a gift to fans of Kevin Smith and his totally Askew movies. I personally braved Indiana weather in August, a busted exhaust system on my truck, scary theatre staff, and drove the hour and a half from Terre Haute to...

Pros: Funny, good lines, References to previous movies.
Cons: At times, a disjointed plot

This is the first (and only) movie of the "New Jersey" series that had Jay and Silent Bob as the main thrust of the movie. They are an entertaining duo, as Kevin Smith doesn't need a voice to be entertaining. When he uses his voice, it just adds to the...

Pros: Doesn't try at innovation or creativity - just a funny summer movie
Cons: See above

With Kevin Smith's prior two works, Amy and Dogma, we visited a serious, somehow darker, side of Smith's range as a writer/director. Intriguing as it was, it somehow hinted that Smith was a little bit out of his element.

Rest easy,...

Pros: Funny, Hilariuos and did I mention Funny?
Cons: Language, if you haven't see the previous movies, you just won't get some jokes.

JSBSB was the funniest movie I have seen all year. If you have not seen the prior films in this 'series', Mallrats, Clerks, Dogma and even Chasing Amy, you will be lost at times. If you don't like foul language then you definitely haven't seen any of the...

Pros: Sums up Jersey films nicely, featuring cameos of every major player from films
Cons: A little choppy, raunchy humor may need to be toned down

Tonight, I saw a private screening of Kevin Smith's latest, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. Having been a long time fan of the director's films, I jumped at the chance to see an advance of this movie. However, let me preface this by saying this is an...

Pros: Attempts at comedy, supporting cast including a monkey can garner some laughs
Cons: ultimate "sell-out" 13 year old jokes, practical effects from 1994

Boy, when I got on here I couldn't believe this film received 78% recommended. I wouldn't recommend this film to my worst enemy. That's how bad I truly thought it was.
When asked, I said I'd rather spend a week with Will in the Big Brother House...

Pros: Everything the true Kevin Smith fan wants!
Cons: Anyone with no View Askewniverse experience is likely to be highly offended and disgusted.

As an aspiring writer/director/producer, I feel a natural inclination to root for the indie filmmaker. Kevin Smith makes it easy with his entertaining stories, true to themselves characters, well thought-out dialogue, intricate plots and unending cross...

Pros: really funny, especially the scenes with Ben Affleck
Cons: many jokes are taken right out of other Kevin Smith movies

I am aware of the irony of writing a review of a movie like this, in which the major theme is dorky people with too much free time on their hands writing reviews criticising the Jay and Silent Bob movie in this movie. But I will not be criticising this...

Pros: Jay is very, very funny- didn't have to see the "other movies" to laugh
Cons: $8 for a movie!?

I'm a typical guy who hates going to the movies. I think the last movie I saw was the Green Mile before this one.

Suprised that the 10:00 showing on opening day wasn't even CLOSE to selling out, I was happy to be at the movies..and I was with...

Pros: Zany slapstick comedy that will make you smile and laugh
Cons: Heavy language and non fans of Kevin Smith might be lost at times

The plot is simple and set up right from the start. "Bluntman and Chronic" is being made into a movie in Hollywood and Jay and Silent Bob as characters are being "dissed" on the internet, not to mention not even being compensated for using their...
