Jay and Silent Bob are two guys who apparently do nothing but hang around in a couple of places (the local Quick-Stop convenience mart mainly but they've also been known to frequent malls) and sell weed, smoke, dance, rap, and blatantly come on to females (the last two are mostly done by Jay, as Silent Bob more just stands and doesn't talk, what with him being "Silent" and all). Any time you see Jay and Silent Bob show up in a film, you know there will be some immaturity of some kind flying about. Usually they appear in small doses as Kevin Smith is often trying to make some point in his movies or is at least attempting to further the plot and Jay and Silent Bob are really just there for comic relief. So why give them a whole film? Uh, well...to satisfy morons like me and probably himself at the same time.

This film is apparently the last appearance of Jay and Silent Bob we will be lucky to witness as Kevin claims he has decided to cease writing for the characters. Essentially, this movie is like Kevin Smith getting rid of the characters in the most foul way possible...filling an entire movie with them. This is really just his way of having fun and, luckily, it's fucking hilarious.

For some reason, I've always found the abundant immaturity found in Kevin Smith's films a lot funnier than the immaturity in all the latest comedy hits like There's Something About Crappy and American Crap and Meet the Crap. Oh sorry, did I spell those wrong? Well, crap! (secret message: I didn't even see the last one! Shh!!!) I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with the fact that the dialogue in Kevin Smith's movies, juvenile as it is, still manages to be funny. I think this sort of humor can be funnier in many cases than watching some guy fight with a stuffed animal (which has been a big comic hit used in only roughly eighty movies lately) or by having some wacky exchange of bodily fluids take place onscreen. There's something more noble about still being able to carry out verbal jokes and not having to resort to visually shocking the audience. Oh, now I sound like a film critic or some shit. Fuck, what a pretentious asshole I am. Well, all I'm trying to say is that even though it involves a lot of cursing (which some may see as a cop-out or something), Kevin Smith does manage to include wit in his dialogue. It may even involve a mention of someone drinking semen but, hell, at least we don't have to see it onscreen (BUT THAT'S WHAT SELLS, FOLKS!).

Anyway, I should probably focus more on this movie than on Kevin Smith's film career in general because that seems to be what I've been doing. So silly! So anyway, critics have enjoyed some of Mr. Smith's work in the past because he does make interesting points and often fills his films with intellectual dialogue (Seriously, people just stop mid-movie and start having lengthy conversations. It's like a musical except instead of bursting into song, people start talking philosophy.). However, critics have also been bugged by his rampant immaturity. For example, none of them liked Mallrats because it was the immature one that didn't have much of anything to say. Well, they're going to fucking hate this one. As I said, Mallrats was the immature one…up until now. Mallrats actually still had some witty dialogue. This movie is just stupidity but, as I said (at least I think I did), it's genuinely funny stupidity. If you're one of those people who thinks they are mature, you will not like this and you suck (is it me or have I said something like this in every one of my reviews?). Otherwise, this is a fine movie for the WHOLE world to see. Yes, bring the kids too!

You know, I don't like the way this review is coming out at all. I can go back and change it but I happen to be very lazy so I'll probably just end it now. Yeah, I know I didn't talk about the movie much at all. Generally people provide a small synopsis of the film in reviews and there is a plot in this but who feels like bothering with it? Not me, to be sure! Actually, there's a good way I can get out of mentioning it at all. I will just paraphrase what my fat friend said. He said that people need to just take this movie for what it is. Essentially, it's like the wrap party at the end of a film, with everyone joking around and speaking of the fun times they've had during filming except this is like the wrap party for all of Kevin Smith's other films. There are many returning characters (he often uses the same actors from film to film but generally they play different people) and the in-jokes are even more blatant than usual. This movie looks like it was probably fun for the actors (I think they even kept in a slip-up at the end where Jason Lee and Will Ferrel start cracking up but, who knows, maybe it was scripted) and it should be fun for the fans as they'll get all the references and so forth. So, basically, this movie is funny. This movie is good. Go see it. You want a better review, go to Russia. The reviewers are fucking great over there. Fucking great.
