Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Eliza Dushku

The comic 'Bluntman and Chronic' is based on real-life stoners Jay and Silent Bob, so when they get no profit from a big-screen adaptation they set out to wreck the movie.

    A fond farewell or succumbing to the fans? Either way, let?s hope it?s the last we see (apart from Clerks 2) as they are becoming quite annoying now!

    "All you motherfuckers are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax fucks who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shi...( read more)t out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. Then y'all you motherfucks are next. Love, Jay and Silent Bob."

    the other good kevin smith one...

    Kevin Smith makes one big ego trip into a damn hilarious, nod and a wink comedy. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is a big-budget in-joke. This isn't for the masses, it's for those familiar with Smith's work and characters. Those not familiar will no doubt be lost. The jokes are mu...( read more)ch simpler, but just as funny in context. The cast are all having more fun than the audience, but the audience should still be inhysterics. Ben Affleck's dead hooker fiascoes, C.L.I.T, and a Scooby Doo parody are just some of the highlights. It's a fun movie made by a filmmaker doing something a bit bigger for his friends and fans. If you enjoy Smith's work then this is a must, but don't expect the raw edginess of Clerks.

    Roadtrip to Hollyweird for Jay and Silent Bob. Some OK moments, but I didn't really laugh hard until Mark Hamill showed up.

    Kevin Smith lets it all out,and in a good way.A really funny movie,over the top in every way.Liked all the cameos,especially Carrie Fisher's,that one was hilarious.Every time they broke the fourth wall i laughed so hard.Damon and Affleck jokes were the best definitely.The movie h...( read more)as it's shortcomings,there are a few times the jokes fell flat,the plot is ridiculous,but who gives a f*** it's a movie about Jay and Silent Bob,f*** jokes were why this movie was written in the first place.Worth a look,even fo non Kevin Smith fans.

    Un clasico de Kevin Smith. Cine de culto. Aguda. Impia. Sin pelos en la lengua, y por supuesto... graciosa.

    Hard to believe they could come up with enough funny stuff to fill an entire movie on these two, but Smith did and suceeded! It's hilarious, one of Smith's funniest movies, and you can't help but smile during the whole film.
    Smith and Mewes aren't the best actors in the world, ...( read more)but they're talented and likable enough to get by. Ferrell does a good job too and so far this is tone of THE only movies he's in that I actually like. Most of the rest of the cast is made up of celebrity cameos.
    The celebrity cameos are the best especially the stuff with Damon and Affleck. Kudos to all celebrities who were in this film and didn't mind making a joke about themselves in the process.
    The other cool thing is how Smith brings a lot of his characters from his other films into small parts that were usually saved for the main duo in the movie. Some of the jokes are inside jokes and unless you've seen the other movies you won't get some of em(the only one I haven't seen is CHASING AMY, but I was still able to laugh at those jokes). The one part that I didn't find funny was thankfully not in the movie, but in the deleted scenes.
    It's a goofier, less character driven version of the ViewAskewniverse, but that made it all the better.So if your a fan of Smith's Jay and Silent Bob then you'll love this movie.
    END OF AND DURING CREDITS: Some bloopers during cast list and a short scene at the end of credits.

    "You're like a child. What've I been telling you? You gotta do the safe picture. Then you can do the art picture. But then sometimes you gotta do the payback picture because your friend says you owe him......and sometimes, you have to go back to the well."
    "And sometimes, you do Reindeer Games."
    "See, that's just mean."

David Edelstein, Slate

I admit to enjoying -- in a drunken, half-asleep kind of way -- parts of this ramshackle road movie with its running Miramax guest stars and its endless homo jokes. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Not clever enough for Smith fans, not gross enough to compete on the Farrelly brothers' ground, the movie feels like a kind of self-congratulatory fake. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Kevin Smith's movies are either made specifically for you, or specifically not made for you. If you read this review without a smile or a nod of recognition, I would recommend Rush Hour 2, which is fo... full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

The movie dribbles and drags in patches, which is supposed to be OK since it's stoner humor, but Smith has it in him to do much better. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Budgeted at $20 million, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back contains many remarkable things for a Smith movie. full review

    I finaly took the time to watch this movie and it was so worth it. This is great comedic action and random craziness for everyone out there with ADD or a really simple sense of humor. Jay serves up some great catch phrases and hard hitting insults. this movie is superb at pushing the envelope and pressing peoples buttons.With a load of celebrity's like this, how could the movie be anything short of creative and surprising from moment to moment? Watch it kids.
