Critics Consensus

Fans can expect a good laugh as the cast from Smith's previous films reunite for Jay and Silent Bob's last bow. The loose plotting and crude language may be too much for others though.

Alonso Duralde The Advocate Gut-bustingly hilarious from start to finish Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Kevin Smith fans will enjoy. Not for kids. Rated: 3/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review Scott Foundas Variety Has the lazy, bric-a-brac atmosphere of one of those blown-off movies made during down time on some bigger affair. Jun 23, 2008 Full Review PJ Nabarro Patrick Nabarro Though it earns the odd chuckle on occasions, it's essentially just an elongated and largely pointless spoof movie designed only to glorify Smith's own hermetic movie-world. Rated: 2/5 Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A gross road film comedy that's as dim as a burnt out light bulb. Rated: C- Feb 9, 2017 Full Review Randall King Winnipeg Free Press It's kind of funny, although Smith works under the assumption you've seen all his movies. Rated: 2/5 Nov 5, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Jay H This is a case of the director making a movie for the director. Smarmy and self-centered. So is the movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Bahad j The movie was a very exciting adventure from start to finish Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review alan g Really. An insult to the slacker genre. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review max b the best movie ever made. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Lorenz R The absolute KLIT!! And once again, a Kevin Smith humorous joke comes along. But now he's taking his old ego, Silent Bob, and his best stoned friend, Jay, out of their place. Like two borderline debilitated heroes set off across America just to get to Hollywood, Smith takes apart everything that comes along in adventure movies, road trips and Hollywood clichés. Humor isn't for everyone. Even if Smith conjures up typical, religious, dogmatic and faith questions out of the bounds. The best scenes are when Jay and Silent Bob themselves wander around the film studios. Even the stars who play there like to take aim at themselves. And not always from the sympathetic side. Conclusion: Only if you like Kevin Smith will get his money's worth! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Jaidic "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" is an absolute riot from start to finish, delivering a dose of unapologetic humor that will leave you in stitches. Kevin Smith has once again brought his iconic characters to the forefront, and the result is a comedic masterpiece. The chemistry between Jason Mewes as Jay and Kevin Smith as Silent Bob is unparalleled. Their banter, outrageous antics, and sharp wit make for a dynamic duo that steals every scene they're in. Mewes's energy and Smith's deadpan delivery complement each other perfectly, creating a comedic synergy that has stood the test of time. The film is a love letter to the View Askewniverse, a world Smith has crafted over the years in movies like "Clerks" and "Mallrats." "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" takes this universe to new heights, filled with pop culture references, inside jokes, and nods to Smith's own filmmaking journey. It's a treat for long-time fans, yet accessible enough for newcomers to enjoy. What sets this movie apart is its unapologetic and self-aware humor. Smith pokes fun at Hollywood, the film industry, and even himself, creating a refreshing and hilarious experience. The satire is sharp, and the movie doesn't shy away from pushing boundaries, making it a wild ride for those who appreciate irreverent comedy. The supporting cast is a star-studded ensemble, with memorable performances from Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Chris Rock, and more. The celebrity cameos add an extra layer of enjoyment, and the clever integration of real-world elements into the fictional narrative is a stroke of genius. The pacing is fast, the dialogue is quick-witted, and the jokes are delivered with impeccable timing. The film doesn't take itself too seriously, inviting the audience to join in the laughter and embrace the absurdity. It's a celebration of the joy of filmmaking and the camaraderie that can be found among those who share a passion for the art. "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" is a must-watch for fans of Kevin Smith's work and anyone in need of a good laugh. It's a comedy that knows exactly what it is and revels in it, making it a timeless classic in the world of irreverent, cult comedies. Buckle up for a wild ride with Jay and Silent Bob – you won't be disappointed! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
