Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (Dimension Collector's Series)

Average rating: Stars

Return of the Jersey Jedis

What Kevin Smith lacks in his chronological skills, (After all, this is the fifth film in what he cleverly calls the "New Jersey Trilogy". For those who miss the irony, trilogies are made up of three.) he makes up with vulgar language and crass humor. This film carries the most extreme humor in the series: some bad, some good. What Smith deserves the most credit for with this film is creating a synergy between all the films.

Most of his friends are back, including his wife and child. Ben Affleck returns as both the character he played in Chasing Amy and as "Ben Affleck" in a great scene on the set of "GOOD WILL HUNTING 2: HUNTING SEASON" starring Matt Damon. In essence, he took all the running gags from the series and worked to tie them all together. Every cross-reference has fans of the series in serious laughter.

On the flipside of that, non-fans will most likely be miserable, as they are not in on the joke. To them, the plot is just an excuse to tie together drugs, flatulence and fornication jokes. Yes, Smith took all the criticisms his early films received and compounded the offense.

There are several movie references and cameo appearances as it is 'hip' to be in a Kevin Smith film. Even Mark Hamill appears in an anti-Luke Skywalker role. This appears to be his film with the largest budget as many of the others had independent film scope.

The 2 DVD set includes a commentary by Smith, Jason Mewes and producer Scott Mosier. It is always fun but not as witty as earlier efforts. It also enough cut and alternate scenes to make an entire film. Yjese have nice introductions by Smith and his peeps. These are shot within "Jay and Silent Bob's secret stash", a comic book store in New Jersey. They unashamedly sell their wears on occasion! The DVD also carries the usual making of documentary and trailers.

.... This film is an adolescent road trip.

Very funny, but very rude...

This movie is a very funny comedy about 2 drug dealers, who, let's face it guys, are living the dream. Don't kid yourselves, you know you wanna be them. Anyway, if you like Smith's other movies, then you'll LOVE this, the final movie to feature his 2 characters Jay and Silent Bob. But a word of warning to all teenage lads who think it'd be cool to watch with your girlfriend... yeah DON'T! enjoy!

What the hell is the internet?

I like Kevin Smith movies, but I'm not a huge fan. This one is definitly my favorite though. It is funny and the whole movie in entertaining. If you like Jay and Silent Bob in the other movies then you will love this movie, if you don't like them them you should not watch it, but I shouldn't have to tell you that right? I can honestly say that this movie gets better everytime I watch it and I don't smoke. The bottom line is you like Jay and Silent Bob or you don't.
