Plot Summary:
|
Paragraphist-director Kevin Smith's fifth and irreversible installment of his Fashionable Jersey Chronicles (which began in 1994 with the breakout, low-budget comedy CLERKS) is a chance for scene-thieving, foulmouthed stoner Jay (Jason Mewes) and his mute sidekick/"hetero life companion" Silent Bob (Smith) to finance their own motion picture. When comic depend on mogul Brodie (Jason Lee, reprising his MALLRATS duty) informs Jay and Reticent Bob that a cinema featuring their witty libretto alter egos, Bluntman and Lasting, is with regard to to be made, the duo demands a cut from the hilarious's... architect, Holden (Ben Affleck, in his CHASING AMY impersonation). Holden explains that his ex-buddy, Banky (Lee again) has sold them out, and shows them some angry Internet posts from Bluntman and Long-lived fans. Fearing for their reputations, Jay and Quiescent Bob embark on a cross-country odyssey to Hollywood to stop the video. En route, they show a clean pair of heels afoul of a Charlie's Angels-type jewelry thief pealing--one of whom, Fair play (Shannon Elizabeth) takes a confine to Jay--an orangutan, a Federal Wildlife Marshall (Will Ferrell), and Miramax studio safe keeping. Smith's fond farewell to his intertwined Jersey characters is a lovingly crude, broad comedy rife with popularity cameos, slapstick talking picture spoofs, and clever jabs at Hollywood.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Drug-dealing slacker comedy. Clerks' director Kevin Smith paddles around in his own mythology by creating a vehicle for the two bit-part characters from his previous movies
Having been the best thing about all of the first four Kevin Smith movies - not to mention Scream 3 - it was inevitable that New Jersey's slacker kings would get their own movie.
After a restraining order stops Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith) from dealing dope outside their beloved convenience store, the pair find out that a movie is being made based on their alter egos Bluntman and Chronic that may ruin their (not particularly) good names. To save their reputations, they head for Hollywood, along the way finding love - and a monkey called Suzanne.
Smith is arguably more...
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
The end of the View Askewniverse
A lot of people (Smith fans and non-fans alike) have criticized him on not making a cynical J&SB movie a la Clerks or Dogma. Herein lies the dreamboat: it's 100% a fart & d*ck movie, marketed as bromide, said numerous times by Smith to be one and musical easy to see that it is as well, so all those people complaining because it is one are either whingy or jerky.
That said, it does receive it's downfalls, mainly that you press to have watched all previous 4 Smith movies (Clerks., Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma) and it's missing a *plot*, but on a former occasion you get before that (it's basically a route-sightsee movie), it's melodious damn enjoyable. Highlights include a slight neonate saying f*ck numerous times, Jay's rap in the look out on of the Qu...
