I liked the film. It was really funny. But at the same time, I can see how someone who is not a fan of Kevin Smith and the Viewaskewniverse would either not get the film or not enjoy the film.

So If you are a fan of Kevin Smith, this film is for you. If you are not, don't bother, but start with clerks.

Hamill Almost Steals The Show - kav2001c

For fans of Jay & Silent Bob this is one of the best movies of all time. For non-fans (or worse people who havnt heard of them) this film is beyond terrible.
Essentially the excuse for a plot centers around Jay & Silent Bob's journey to Hollywood to get what they deserve after finding out a movie was made about them and they never were paid for thier likeness. Along the way they run into tons of oddball characters (most of whom are listed in the reviews/cast) some jokes come off as hilarious, some miss the mark. Some highlights include Van der Beek & Biggs, the Scooby Doo bunch, and Wes Craven. The best moments though are at the end, with Chris Rock playing an angry black director, and Mark Hamill who threatens to single handidly steal the show as supervillian Cock Knocker. Great funny film, not to all tastes. Feels a little long as they try to squeeze alot into this film.

"Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back" feels like a late-night wrap party; it's a loud, fun, silly release. "Jay And Silent Bob" has none of the keen ethical acuity of "Dogma" or "Chasing Amy", nor "Clerks"'s sly social awareness; it's just a traditional road comedy, an excuse to put a bunch of Smith characters (and actors) back onto the screen one last time and take a few more potshots at his favourite targets. The result, not unexpectedly, is somewhat uneven, and exhibits a "Saturday Night Live"-like ignorance of when a joke has outlived its usefulness. To a degree, it's also a rather inaccessible movie: if you're unfamiliar with earlier Smith flicks, the appearance of some actors in multiple roles may be confusing. Similarly, if you've never heard of, say, the debate over Greedo shooting first, much of the cinema-oriented humour may not be to your taste. That said, there are moments of brilliance, especially for Smith aficionados: the "Scooby Doo" and "Planet Of The Apes" pastiches are priceless, as is the scene in which the title characters provide wish fulfillment for any long-suffering Usenetter. And "Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back" succeeds as a last hurrah for Smith's seminal creations: it both celebrates the characters, and leaves us satisfied that their story has now been told.
