The best-looking, best-scripted and funniest of Smith's pictures, it's also Smith's sharpest.

I remember watching it when it originally came out on DVD and absolutely loved it. Nearly 20 years later, It still lives up and remains one of my favourite comedies. It's Kevin Smith's best movie IMO.

It's deliciously warped, deceptively smart and undeniably funny. Isn't that enough?

It's hit-or-miss comedy of the very broadest sort, but those who groove on deciphering obscure film-geek in-jokes will find their work more than cut out for them.

Only once, in a quick sketch of "Planet of the Apes" -- does the humor seem to spring from pure movie love. In nearly every other respect, the film is so lazy, solipsistic and overpleased with itself it's hard not to believe that this time the Evil Empire has won not just the battle, but the war.

I don't know if the new movie is Smith's weakest. It's certainly his most disposable, a warmed-over hash of jokes that will have Mewes fans rolling with laughter and the rest of us rolling our eyes in disbelief.
By Lawrence Toppman FULL REVIEW

Stunning in its guileless self-love, Smith's doodle-movie shows virtually no sign of being made for an audience. The 90-minute by-product of Smith's let's-shoot-a-movie pot party can be mystifying -- we've all stood soberly by as high friends guffaw at nothing in particular, but now we can pay for the privilege.

I have never seen more funny film with this kind of humor. Really appreceated tons of easter eggs.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is a lot different from the films that Kevin Smith had made. It obviously had a waaay bigger budget that allowed a lot more venues to shoot at. The movie is funny but its more dated than Clerks and Mallrats, plus as much as I love Jay and Silent Bob, they are really just supporting characters. One of the really cool parts about this film is the star power that is scattered throughout. You get to see Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and a lot of other big actors that have cameo appearances along the way, plus a lot the characters from Smith's previous films so really if you are a fan of Kevin Smith's movies I advise you to watch this.

Out of all the View Askewniverse movies, this one is by far the worst as far as potty humor goes, but it's to be expected when the usually secondary characters of J&SB take lead roles. It is funny, but not as smart as I've come to expect from Smith after the likes of Dogma and Clerks. If you're into J&SB though, you'll at least like this movie.

Dull and lazy. These iconic characters from Clerks fall flat in what is one Kevin Smith's biggests duds.

I love the attempt to this, but unfortunately, overusing profanity doesn't make a movie look laughable. It spoofs big-time stuff like Star Wars, Scooby-Doo, etc., it looks so beautiful, and it still couldn't work at all. A movie for basic teenagers.
