I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2022 MOVIE CHALLENGE
WEEK 18: A FILM STARRING YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH
Review: Kevin Smith was once considered an up-and-coming talent. The American
made such gems as “Clerks” and “Chasing Amy” with which he proved that coarse
humor and obscene language could be combined perfectly with the pain of an
unattainable love or hopeless job. These films were layered narratives about real-life
problems. Smith grew increasingly famous and began to shift his field of work
to include writing comic books and canning genre films.
“Jay and Silent Bob are character , played by Jason Mewes and
Kevin Smith, that kill time by smoking weed and hanging around. They first
appeared in “Clerks” and later in “Mallrats”, “Chasing Amy” and “Dogma”, as
side characters. In “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” they got their own movie. In
“Jay and Silent Bob Reboot” they hear that the comic book based on their lives,
“Bluntman and Chronic”, will be turned into a movie. They decided to go to
Hollywood to stop it.
I always love a film that
mocks itself and is very self-aware, making meta-jokes and be self-referral. Kevin
Smith takes it a bit too far and fills his movie with these types of jokes.
This makes the film annoying at times and not really all that funny. I just
didn’t enjoy it all that much. Sad, because I really like Jay and Silent Bob.
And Kevin Smith.
Rating: 2 / 5
