In the supposedly last installment of the Jay and Silent Bob series, we meet Jay and Silent bob, two invalids who hang outside a convenience store doing basically nothing. When a hit comic “Bluntman and Chronic” based on their exploits is being made into a Hollywood movie, they’re not going to see a cent of royalties, so they decide to go to Hollywood to stop the film from being made. This is directed by famed cult comic book writer Kevin Smith who has based practically his entire Hollywood career on these two characters alone.
I got to say for a closing movie on the two characters he pulls no stops. Comic book freaks will enjoy the two characters’ exploits across the country as they encounter a female posse of supposed animal lovers, a dumb wildlife agents, and cameos galore from famous celebrities such as Wes Craven and James Van der Beek who spoof themselves, and they’re not just there to show their faces, each of the cameos play an intricate hilarious role in the entire film. Probably the funniest cameos are those of Smith movie alumnus Ben Affleck and Matt Damon who give hilarious small roles.
Jay and Silent Bob are at their funniest in this movie and their comedy timing is perfect at times. Jason Mewes gives life to this movie that needs it. I was surprised to discover that I really liked this film. This also features the usual Smith crew: Ben Affleck, Shannon Doherty, and Jason Lee who appear in almost all of Smith’s flicks. I was never fond of Kevin Smith’s movies but I liked “Dogma,”
