Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back review

After seeing this movie, I almost feel ashamed to write this review, but hey, fuck it. jay and Silent Bob wouldn't mind: this is going to be a positive review. Damn, now none of you are actually going to read this thing....note to self: don't give away your conclusion at the beginning of the review....

Okay, for the 2 (out of 5 who visit this site) of you that are going to read this, J&SB is the latest Kevin Smith flick, the director of such modern day classics as Clerks, Mallrats and Dogma. Alright, they're not really modern day classics, but they are cult classics, and great ones at that.
Although Kevin Smith movies have already been wacky, none has come close to the wackiness of J&SB. This movie is more like "Hot Shots" than Clerks, or even Dogma, but this is definitely a good thing. Unlike movies like "Scary Movie", J&SB does not rely on simple so called "fart-jokes". The humour in J&SB is actually quite subtle at times, and simply brilliant at all others. You can notice that there has really been thought about these jokes.

For newcomers in the View Askew universe, a lot of the inside jokes will be lost though. These are jokes referring to the other Kevin Smith movies, and Jay & Silent Bob is filled to the brim with them. Not that people who've never seen a Kevin Smith movie won't be able to enjoy the movie tough, it's just that some of the jokes will be lost on them.

The coolest thing about this movie, however, is that there is NO boring or slightly not amusing moment in the entire movie. The first 30 minutes alone contain enough jokes to fill an entire movie, and this thing last about two hours!

Also, I'd like to show my respect to every actor in this movie. Anyone willing to take a punch at him/herself this way kicks ass in my opinion. I see people like James Van Der Beek, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in a whole new perspective after seeing this movie.

The downside? Well, can't really think of one, actually. This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, up there with Hot Shots 1&2 and the first Naked Gun movies. Not as good as Monthy Python, but hey, what is, right? If you have nay sense for humour, you'll be enjoying this movie. A must see.
