Fans can expect a good laugh as the cast from Smith's previous films reunite for Jay and Silent Bob's last bow. The loose plotting and crude language may be too much for others though.

The frequently recurring title characters, employed by writer and director Kevin Smith as supporting players in several of his films, are put to rest with this comedy that focuses on them exclusively. Jay (Jason Mews) and Silent Bob (Smith) are a pair of stoned New Jersey slackers who have long been used as the templates for a pair of popular comic book heroes, Bluntman and Chronic. When they learn that their alter egos are to be turned into a major motion picture without their consent or

Has the lazy, bric-a-brac atmosphere of one of those blown-off movies made during down time on some bigger affair.
I admit to enjoying -- in a drunken, half-asleep kind of way -- parts of this ramshackle road movie with its running Miramax guest stars and its endless homo jokes.
Smith, coming off the madly audacious Dogma, knows that he's slumming this time and revels in it.
The picture lacks the mix of innocence and savagery that branded [Smith's] other films.
In keeping with the Smith rules, the movie is irreverent, self-referential, twisted, cheap and tasteless. And, of course, I mean that as the highest compliment.
In addition to being [Smith's] filthiest, this is his most free-associative movie. In spite of and because of its homemade look, it's also his funniest.
Kevin Smith fans will enjoy. Not for kids.
The epitome of self indulgence.
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.
Kevin Smith's clever in-joke movie gets an anemic Blu-ray release.
A mess, yes, but a funny and highly enjoyable one.
I have no idea how it'll play for people unfamiliar with Smith's work, but I rolled with it.
The film feels like a download of Mr. Smith's brain.
Tune out the dreck and there are enough laughs for it to be worthwhile.
Fans of Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, and their Jay and Silent Bob characters will like this more than the average filmgoer.
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.
...a madcap comedy that rarely disappoints.
A ridiculous, brainless comedy, but what else would you expect from Jay & Silent Bob?

Only for the most seasoned of View Askiewniverse fans, Kevin Smith wrongfully ends his series of films with an all out compilation of every movie in aforementioned universe. (Only to revisit it in Clerks II five years later.) Ranging from Clerks to Chasing Amy to Scream 3, Smith includes his usual cast of favorites,
