Synopsis: Packed with stars including Ben Affleck (Good Will Hunting), Chris Rock (Nurse Betty), Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie), Jason Lee (Almost Famous) and more, this wildly irreverent comedy is actor/director Kevin Smith’s hilarious finale to the adventures of Jay and Silent Bob that began in Clerks and ran through Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma! When best buddies Jay (Jason Mewres) and Silent Bob (Smith) discover that a major motion picture is being based on their likenesses, they head for Hollywood to claim the big movie money they deserve. But when the dopey duo learn that they’ve been cut out of the cash, they set out to sabotage the flick at all costs! Featuring a host of celebrity cameos set to a hot hit soundtrack, Jay and Silent Bob’s raucous cross-country road trip is a crash course in the rules of the road with a nonstop assortment of outrageous characters that will have you laughing out loud!

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back 6.5

Wow… I thought this was Kevin Smith’s weakest movie back in the day – and it doesn’t hold up to repeat viewings (I mean, I must have seen this one only 4-5 times prior to this). Unfortunate, too, since Jay and Silent Bob are some of his mmost beloved characters. Maybe they were just better as side-characters instead of centre-pieces…

Anyway, if you’re into cheesy humour and contrived situations (i.e. standard Hollywood fare), this one’s for you. This is Smith’s ‘American Pie’, if you will. However, for those of you who like a bit of subtlety and a well-crafted story in their comedies, fuhgeddaboutit. He’s done much, much better.

Only two more Kevin Smith movies to go… (maybe next weekend! )
