This may turn out to be an unfair review because I love
all of Kevin Smiths work. We watch this movie at least once a month
(usually intoxicated). So I guess I will just sing praises about him for
making an extremely fun d*** and fart joke film. The plot is pretty
simple. Jay and Silent Bob find out that there is a movie being made of
the comic book that they are the basis for and people are talking s***
about them on the website
http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/ (go
ahead, it's a real site!). They decide to go to Hollywood and get their
movie check or stop the flick from being made. All kinds of crazy stuff
happens on the trip.
On a
side note Judi and I went to New York for our 5th wedding anniversary in
2004. On our way home we made a slight detour to Red Bank, NJ. Which if
you are a fan, know to be the home place of Jay and Silent Bob's Secret
Stash. Which in the film is Brodies Secret Stash- They just changed the
sign. While there I picked up an autographed copy of the film on DVD saw
the Bluntmobile and more props from his films. They gave us directions
to the actual Quick Stop/RST Video stores! So we headed to Leonardo, NJ
to get some pictures, (see picture page).
Back to
the review. This movie parodies a ton of popular movies. From Goodwill
Hunting to Star Wars, including The
Fugitive, Charlie’s Angels, James Bond, Batman,
E.T., Scooby-Doo, and
the whole Scream franchise. A lot of cameos too. Not including the
regular bunch of guys/girls who show up in almost every KS film there
are Judd Nelson, Carrie Fisher,
Mark Hamill, Jules Asner, Steve
Kmetko, Tracy Morgan, Gus Van Sant, Jamie Kennedy, Wes Craven, Morris
Day, James Van Der Beek, and Sean Williams Scott.
If you
have seen this film before, watch it again. This time pay close
attention to Silent Bob. Hilarious! We get intoxicated, sit back and
listen to Jay and watch Silent Bob's reactions. That's worth it all by
itself. Some of the best parts are when different characters stop
everything and look directly at the audience, usually after some
slightly insulting comment about the integrity of the audience. Hey
Agent Automatic! Tell me what you think this means! Examples
1-
Ben Affleck says "Who would pay to
see a Jay and Silent Bob movie?" Then they all turn and stare at the
camera.
2- Will
Ferrell says “Sounds like something out of a bad movie." And then looks
at the camera.
3-
Affleck again. Says something about this film being a payback picture
because your friend says you owe him and again, they all look at the
camera.
All in
all a hilariously pointless movie that I would recommend to everyone
except my parents.
Best
lines:
"Say,
would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?"
"Affleck
was the bomb in
Phantoms!"
"Get off
my Kool-Aid motherf****r!"
"Nights
like this I miss dating a lesbian."
And last
but definitely not least, “Don’t f*** with a Jedi Master son."
Till the
next flick,
Mitch
