Review of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) by Smelly W — 03 Jun 2012

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is a fun comedy that will appeal to Kevin Smith fans. This film was my first experience with the Jay and Silent Bob characters, as I never had seen a Kevin Smith film before.

I quite enjoyed the film, the crude humor was good, and the plot was interesting as well. The cast did a good job here as well, and there were plenty of memorable funny performances. This is a good film, but compared to other films that Kevin Smith has made, it's not as memorable.

I liked the film, but it did lack at times. The film works well enough to be a good comedy, but it's far from others like Clerks or Dogma, which were superior. Though this isn't among Kevin Smith's best films, this is still a film worth seeing.

The cast that Smith has assembled here is good to watch on-screen, and they each bring something unique to the film. The film did have so much potential of being better than what it turned out to be. The film is entertaining and fun and delivers the laughs, but overall I felt that it could have been much better as well.

This is a film worth watching if you're a Kevin Smith fan, and en joy his brand of comedy. But as a whole, Smith has made far better films than this. But for what it's worth, this is a mindless comedy that you need to shut your brain off to enjoy.

Don't search for logic in the script, as you find it. This is simply put a good comical endeavor that despite its flaws, is still worth checking out. I liked the film, and though Smith has made better flicks, Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back is fun, and in the end mindless entertainment is good enough for me.
