7/10. For the record, I have not seen Kevin Smith's previous works, Clerks,
Mallrats, Chasing Amy, or Dogma, which, I'm almost positive, affected
how I saw the movie, since Smith puts in so many in-jokes and
references to his previous movies, I didn't get them, except for the
blatantly obvious ones.
Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) hang out in front of a
convience store selling weed. When the get a restraining order, they
find out that the comic starring their likenesses Bluntman and
Chronic is being turned into a Miramax movie. However, they aren't
being paid for it, so what to do? Travel cross-country to Hollywood
from New Jersey to stop the movie from getting made, what else?
Crude, inappropriate, and extremely funny. If there's ever a movie
that you should watch with your drinking friends and not with a date
or family, this is the one! It has jokes about genetalia, bodily
functions, innuendoes, and more, and I haven't laughed this hard at a
movie for a long time. Call me immature, but I like this type of
stuff, ones that actually have substance behind the crude jokes (not
like Old School).
Mewes was f-ing hilarious, when he f-ing say the f-ing f-word every f-
ing word. It has over 230 f-words along in this movie, with the total
number of curses probably around 300. I have never heard so many, but
I laughed. I'm not ashamed to admit it: Mewes cracked me up, with his
stylish arrogance and foul mouth. Smith, who was laconic for almost
the entire film, expressed everything with his eyes, which were
funny. There were more cameos than a movie of The Simpsons, with Ben
Affleck, Matt Damon, George Carlin, Jamie Kennedy, Chris Rock, Tracy
Morgan, Joey Lauren Adams, and many, many more.
There were many pot-shots of American movies. For instance, when Jay
and Silent Bob meet a drug dealer played by Tracy Morgan, he says
that Miramax accounts for about 75% of his income. Also, everyone on-
screen looks at the camera when they mention, "No one would pay to
see a Jay and Silent Bob movie," and when Ben Affleck says that one
reason you do a picture is because you owe a friend a favor. As the
Bluntman and Chronic movies premieres, someone says, "Well, it was
better than Mallrats."
Are you easily offended? Does the mention of various body parts upset
you? If you answered yes to either question, Jay and Silent Bob
Strike Back is not your movie. If you answered no, sit back and enjoy
the ride!
