Jay and Silent Bob Reboot
critic Reviews

Awkward and unfunny in exceptionally long stretches, Reboot probably won't turn his diehard fans against him. But it's unlikely to win him any new converts either. For that, there's Clerks, Mallrats, or Chasing Amy.

A lovely return to the big hearted, foul-mouthed kind of tale Smith biult his career on.

By the end, I got the feeling that Kevin Smith really has his foot in two generations and doesn't know where to commit.

It's got its irreverent laughs, but it's also slightly embarrassing, the sort of lazily written exercise in self-worship only a fan could truly love.
