Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back

Writer-director Kevin Smith's fifth and final installment of his New Jersey Chronicles (which began in 1994 with the breakout, low-budget comedy CLERKS) is a chance for scene-stealing, foulmouthed stoner Jay (Jason Mewes) and his taciturn sidekick/"hetero life mate" Silent Bob (Smith) to carry their own movie. When comic store mogul Brodie (Jason Lee, reprising his MALLRATS role) informs Jay and Silent Bob that a movie featuring their comic book alter egos, Bluntman and Chronic, is about to be made, the duo demands a cut from the comic's creator, Holden (Ben Affleck, in his CHASING AMY role). Holden explains that his ex-partner, Banky (Lee again) has sold them out, and shows them some angry Internet posts from Bluntman and Chronic fans. Fearing for their reputations, Jay and Silent Bob embark on a cross-country odyssey to Hollywood to stop the film. En route, they run afoul of a Charlie's Angels-type jewelry thief ring--one of whom, Justice (Shannon Elizabeth) takes a liking to Jay--an orangutan, a Federal Wildlife Marshall (Will Ferrell), and Miramax studio security. Smith's fond farewell to his intertwined Jersey characters is a lovingly crude, broad comedy rife with celebrity cameos, slapstick movie spoofs, and clever jabs at Hollywood.

  • 3 stars out of 5

    Having created his own loveable suburban slacker universe in the “New Jersey trilogy” of Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy, writer/director Kevin Smith seemed to have got it out of his system. But the cameo presence of his two recurring characters — dope-smoking, jive-talking Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith himself) — in religious road movie Dogma hinted otherwise. And now they have their own vehicle: an indulgent, dim-witted odyssey from Jersey to Hollywood where the two scatalogical scuzzballs plan to sabotage a movie based on comic-book alter egos Bluntman and Chronic. Unfortunately for an audience unfamiliar with Smith's oeuvre, the in-jokes come so fast that a detailed knowledge is required. Otherwise it's a fair-to-middling gross-out comedy elevated to high satire status by Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Mark Hamill and many others sending themselves up relentlessly.

  • "...JAY AND SILENT BOB does have some tickling good notions....There's also some shockingly funny stuff....And not since the days of Mr. Hope and SON OF PALEFACE have so many performers appeared as themselves, or made fun of themselves..."

    Rubbish (more please)

    Purile nonsense. A farce. An insult to Clerks. All of the above yet imminently watchable if you're the kind of person who knows where I got my user name from.

    It's not so young, it's very dumb and J&SBSB is full of those kinds of jokes.

    Sight gags and slapstick fill in for the intellect of Dogma or Chasing Amy. And the whoel does feel a little shoddy and pointless. Clerks 2

    Absoltely funny final installment of the New Jersy Crew. You should know by now what you are going to get with Kevin Smith movie. Didn't think I would enjoy it, but loved every minute of it. Eliza Dushku is one reason to watch. She is hot!!!
