With sidesplitting dialogue and rampant profanity, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back reunites Kevin Smith's dynamic duo in supreme lowbrow style. It's the fifth comedy in Smith's celebrated New Jersey "trilogy." Here Quick-Stop potheads Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith) wreak vengeance on Hollywood, where Miramax is making a "Bluntman & Chronic" feature inspired by J. and S.B., but without their permission. En route from Jersey to La La Land, Jay and his "hetero life mate" encounter sexy jewel thieves (including the delightful Shannon Elizabeth), a precocious orangutan, a dimwit wildlife marshal (Will Ferrell), and a nonstop parade of in-jokes, harmless (yet controversial) gay jokes, and splendid celebrity cameos. While gently biting the Miramax hand that feeds him, and paying affectionate homage to the Star Wars saga, Smith sheds all inhibitions to give Jay and Silent Bob a stellar sendoff that's nasty, sassy, and undeniably hilarious. --Jeff Shannon

 By far not the best Kevin Smith film, but still a great time... October 3, 2008
It's been a long time since I've seen this film and to be honest had I not recently bought a Blu-ray it may have been an even longer time...but I like Kevin Smith. And I wanted to support the guy. And add to my collection. And you know what? I'm glad I did. This is a great price for what stands up to be a pretty funny flick -- and even though it's not loaded with extras the commentary was worth the pricetag for me. I just love hearing the dude pal around with Mosier and Mewes etc...Is this the best Viewaskeniverse movie? In my book, far from it. But it's also not the worst...
If anyone's wondering, my ranking would be: Chasing Amy/Dogma (tied depending on my mood), Clerks 1, Jay & Bob/Clerks 2 (tied), Mallrats
So there you have it. Do yourself a favor and pick this up. And DEFINITELY pick up "An Evening With Kevin Smith" (1, 2, and 3 is out soon)...those are amazing, even to non fans I've shown them to.
 The Second To Last Film In The View Askew Series September 21, 2008
JASBSB is a great film. Not just because it's laugh out loud funny but because Kevin Smith has made Jay and Bob still fresh after seven years. The duo is in their best film yet and their's all the usual trade marks. A very great end to a leagcy.
awesome August 8, 2008
I think this movie is great. I've already watched it a couple of times and i don't get bored with it. The stupid humor is hilarious. I would reccomend this to anyone who is a diehard fan of Jay and Silent Bob.
Whillenholly: I don't get out to the movies that much, but "Bluntman and Chronic" was blunt-tastic. July 25, 2008
Talk about self-referential, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is just about the most self-referential piece of cinema or pop culture since the theme song for The Monkees. The View Askew universe, or the 'viewaskewniverse' is nothing but a collection of inside jokes, with celebrity cameos galore that are not only self-referential, but self-parodies.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any dumber, I just gave in and went with it, and was actually entertained as a result. I think it was when the van load of hot chicks that picked up Jay and Silent Bob revealed that they were actually a gang of international jewel thieves, got into skintight latex cat suits and began to bend over and stretch in preparation for the big heist. Sure, the wish fulfillment principle was at work, big time, but so what? That is the secret of Kevin Smith's whole oeuvre: every under or overweight kid in the audience can identify because he has had the exact same fantasy.
The only difference is Kevin Smith did something about making those fantasies a reality, even if he has to cast himself as the most self-deprecating character of all in this self-referential self-parody of a flick.
Two thumbs up.
PS: Shannon Elisabeth is really hot in this, though I'm not buying that she could fall for Jay. She looked especially smokin' in those glasses. It was her idea to wear them, because her character was named Justice, and Justice is blind. At first they wanted Heather Graham but she turned it down because she couldn't fathom how her character would ever fall for Jay.
PPS: Jennifer Schwalbach Smith (Missy), one of the international jewel thieves, is Kevin Smith's real-life wife, making her film debut. Several scenes of her making out with Ali Larter (Chrissy) were among those cut to prevent the film from getting an NC-17 rating.

[regarding the Bluntman and Chronic movie]
Randal Graves: That was definitely worse than "Clash of the Titans."
Dante Hicks: I can't believe Judi Dench played me.
Randal Graves: Remind me to renew that restraining order.
Dante Hicks: Why?
Randal Graves: Because I'm going to blast that flick on the internet tonight.
 This is American culture? April 28, 2008

Jay and Silent Bob, just an attempt to recreate Cheech and Chong (a couple of Hippie stoners) for a new generation. This movie was totally offensive. All those things your parents told you not to do? They do it. Profanity, irresponsibility, dealing drugs, sex and dysfunctional relationships... What's the big deal? The big deal is that this movie represents a new "low" in American comedy. In fact, it is a 'poster child' for a new low in American culture. I would just like to mention to anyone outside the United States that might be reading this: This is the exact opposite of what I was taught to do and how to behave. It is a celebration of perversity, tastelessness, vulgarity and dysfunctionality, all presented as if it were "fun" or "cool." Mr. Smith and Mr. Mewes should be completely ashamed of themselves. But, if anything, that is one of the points of the movie, to get the viewer to laugh along so he or she can forget what the word shame actually means. Minus 5 Stars would have been my actual vote.
