Average Rating: 5.7/10

Consensus: 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.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for nonstop crude and sexual humor, pervasive strong language, and drug content

Runtime: 1 hr 44 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release: Aug 24, 2001 Wide

Box Office: $29,885,424

Writer-director Kevin Smith's fifth and final installment of his New Jersey Chronicles (which began in 1994 with the breakout, low-budget comedy CLERKS) is a chance for scene-stealing, foulmouthed stoner Jay (Jason Mewes) and his taciturn sidekick/"hetero life mate" Silent Bob (Smith) to carry their own movie. When comic store mogul Brodie (Jason Lee, reprising his MALLRATS role) informs Jay and Silent Bob that a movie featuring their comic book alter egos, Bluntman and Chronic, is about to be made, the duo demands a cut from the comic's creator, Holden (Ben Affleck, in his CHASING AMY role). Holden explains that his ex-partner, Banky (Lee again) has sold them out, and shows them some angry Internet posts from Bluntman and Chronic fans. Fearing for their reputations, Jay and Silent Bob embark on a cross-country odyssey to Hollywood to stop the film. En route, they run afoul of a Charlie's Angels-type jewelry thief ring--one of whom, Justice (Shannon Elizabeth) takes a liking to Jay--an orangutan, a Federal Wildlife Marshall (Will Ferrell), and Miramax studio security. Smith's fond farewell to his intertwined Jersey characters is a lovingly crude, broad comedy rife with celebrity cameos, slapstick movie spoofs, and clever jabs at Hollywood. [More]

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

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.

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

If not a masterpiece of thespianism, it's at least a fun ride through Smith's quirky mind and the lives of his unique characters.

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!

A self-indulgent trip for Smith; pity, there's a fun movie in there dying to come out.
