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

From The New Yorker
Kevin Smith ("Clerks," "ChASINg Amy") sums up his career thus far in a ragtag affair that's profane, silly, and likable. Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith himself), the two stunningly unemployable young men who made peripheral appearances in earlier Smith movies, leave their turf outside a Quick Stop convenience store in Leonardo, New Jersey, and head for Hollywood. Jay, who looks like a stoned Viking, is a ranter-obscene, empty-brained, sublimely confident with women yet scoreless as a eunuch. Silent Bob, his patsy and fool, plays off Jay's tirades with yearning eyes. The movie is filled with antic references to the early Smith canon and much in-joking about the movie business. When the boys arrive in Los Angeles, they run into current and former stars of the independent cinema, including Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who take turns dumping on one another's careers. With Chris Rock, Jason Biggs, Mark Hamill, and many others in cameo appearances. -David Denby

Customer Reviews

By far not the best Kevin Smith film, but still a great time...
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
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
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.
