Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2003, VHS)

Movie Description
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.

Editorial Reviews
"...As funny as humanly possible....I laughed until my face hurt..."
Premiere - p.86-7 - Glenn Kenny

"...JAY AND SILENT BOB does have some tickling good notions....There's also some shockingly funny stuff....And not since the days of Mr. Hope and SON OF PALEFACE have so many performers appeared as themselves, or made fun of themselves..."
New York Times - p.E8 - Elvis Mitchell

"...Full of hearty laughs....[The] episodes provoke knowing giggles, ending Smith's 'New Jersey Chronicles' on a high note..."
USA Today - p.1E - Mike Clark

"...There are lots of hilarious, off-the-wall incidents, and the film has a likable, freewheeling spirit to go with its knockabout plot..."
Los Angeles Times - p.4 - Kenneth Turan

"...One of the most good-natured, ebullient and enjoyable comedies in ages..."
Total Film - p.98 - James White

    This movie is hilarious - the dilaouge is as funny as the cast of misfit cameos like Ben Affleck, Kevin Smith, Shannon Elizabeth, Will Ferrell, George Carlin, etc. The movie has no substantiative plot, but is funny nonetheless because of the witty one-liners and the overload of cursing (beware - not for kids!).
