Like one massive inside joke that only regulars to the View Askew Universe will get, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is the ultimate measure of Smith's undeniable nerdiness.

Has the lazy, bric-a-brac atmosphere of one of those blown-off movies made during down time on some bigger affair.

Top CriticA mess, yes, but a funny and highly enjoyable one.

Top CriticI have no idea how it'll play for people unfamiliar with Smith's work, but I rolled with it.
09/24/07
The film feels like a download of Mr. Smith's brain.
07/14/07
Tune out the dreck and there are enough laughs for it to be worthwhile.

What do you want, some meditation on the human condition?

The perfect curtain call for these much-loved, wise but oh so stupid slackers.

I feel a strange disturbance in the Force.

While that may be enough for teenage fans, anyone expecting more will be sorely disappointed.

Along with CLERKS, it makes a nice bookend to [Kevin] Smith's Jersey chronicles

There’s an awful lot to enjoy here, even if you’re not a hardcore Smith fan.

Long live Jay and Silent Bob!

At some point, irreverence and wit notwithstanding, enough is enough.

Mewes is a strangely compelling lead, and that in itself is good reason enough to see the film. That is, if the fact that this is the funniest movie of the year hasn't convinced you yet!
