I knew this movie was significant in some way, but I couldn't remember why but when looking at the date, I remembered. It was August 24th, 2001 and it's the last movie I've ever seen in my life that took place before 911. In a way, this was the last movie a lot of us saw before the world changed forever. Of course, let me talk about this movie and why I sincerely enjoy it. Some consider it one of the weaker films in the View Askewniverse, but I rather enjoyed it. I looked up this page and found out it spoofs a total of 52 different things!I seriously think that's a record for anything here beating what I thought was the record holder, "Shrek" at 45 spoofs. It makes sense that the two most famous characters from the View Askewniverse would get their own movie. They were probably the funniest parts of the other films and I really did think they held enough for a movie in their own right. Be warned that this might be the most profane comedy ever made at 251 f-words. I actually lost count after the first two minutes and gave up counting. While not one of the best comedies ever made, I still think it's worth checking out. ***

I'm a fan of Kevin Smith, even though I didn't like Jersey Girl, he still makes great movies. Clerks, Dogma, and Mallrats I really like, even Chasing Amy is decent enough. So going in, I didn't know what to expect. Jay and Silent Bob had always been kind of in the background, so I was glad to hear that they were stretching this into a feature.There are a lot of good laughs throughout and I really liked it. Of course, the plot isn't supposed to be taken seriously and the characters are quirky. Even though Jay can be obnoxious, this character still has a lot of heart to him. Kevin Smith as Silent Bob is enjoyable to watch and when he finally says something, it's like a breath of fresh air. This movie is full of satire, endless cameos, and so many cross references to Smith's other films.It's one of those funny comedies that you watch with some friends late on a Saturday night. This was a pleasant surprise and I wasn't disappointed. I recommended it to anyone who like Kevin Smith's work and isn't easily offended!

Two stoners, one does not say much, the other never shuts up. Full off effing and blinding, a lot of gay jokes, some patchy humour and essentially a road trip where the duo steal a monkey get implicated in a diamond heist, meet the scooby gang and get shot at by Will Ferrell.Jay and Silent Bob are on their way to Hollywood to stop the comic book characters Bluntman and Chronic who have their likeness to be turned into a movie as well as getting paid for their use of image rights.Silent Bob is alright but Jay is too much for even the most broad minded mainly because he never shuts the f**k up. There is crude humour some funny, there are cameos including Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, although I found the constantly cash counting Gus Van Sant humorous as well as Chris Rock playing a venomous film director.

So here I am looking at a comedy that I liked when I was 13 and 14. I watched this movie all the time back then. So does it hold up after 4 years? In my eyes it doesn't.Don't get me wrong it is funny... in places. The leading characters are a big problem, why? they work as side characters for the movies but in here... It doesn't work. Jay has potential to be a funny side character but not as a lead. He is on the verge of irritating as he chews the scenery of this movie. I did laugh at a few jokes, don't get me wrong but for every 1 joke that works there are about 5 more that fall flat. When a joke falls flat in this movie it falls REALLY FLAT.Not to mention they overuse the F word. I know, I might come across as an idiot for complaining about bad language in a Kevin Smith movie and it might be as stupid as complaining about the use of Amber in a Guillermo Del Toro film. But it is used in EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE. This might entertain a 14 year old for an hour and a half but not to a 17 year old looking for something more.Not to mention the plot is just awful. I get what Smith was trying to do with this movie. Basically a stupid comedy with a ridiculous premise. First of all the premise is sort of a "boo-hoo" situation (trying to stop a movie because of haters? Really?). Not to mention that It almost is like he ran out of material and crammed in subplots and love relationships that are more forced than Hayden Christensen's and Natalie Portman's in the Star Wars prequels. The plots are just NOT FUNNY.So will I give Kevin Smith films a re-watch? Yes. I considered this man to be my favourite comedy director when I was 13 and want to see out of curiosity if any of his other films hold up. One of my biggest problems with this movie is the fact that the focus of the film should be supporting characters and doing that might actually work if you change it to a character that can entertain people who AREN'T fourteen years old.
