Jay and Silent Bob Reboot [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray] [2019]

Definitely not the best movie ever made but it’s absolutely a fun one. Growing up watching Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma and Strike Back I’ve always been a fan of Kevin Smith’s indie comedy universe and this doesn’t disappoint. I was lucky to see this in the theater back in October and glad to have added it to my collection. If you’re a Kevin Smith fan this is a must buy!!!!

Well it may of started with a heart attack but the result was a cameo filled film paying tribute to Kevin Smith's work. Now you won't be labeled at the guy who made Tusk.

Decent Blu Ray, ok value. Wish there was a collector’s addition.

You're either a Kevin Smith, or have a Kevin Smith fan in your life if you are watching or purchasing this. I found it hysterical, full of callbacks, in-jokes, and easter eggs. I'm consistently amazed at the level of talent the director seems to get for very little in wages. If you're a newcomer to Kevin Smith his humor is vulgar has many drug & geek references so take that as for your personal preferences. I actually found it to be a pretty heartwarming story of a father's love as did my wife but if you didn't like any of his previous films that isn't going to magically change for this one.

evin Smith films in general can kind of be an acquired taste (Tusk, anyone? - and even Smith makes fun of that film in this one). I'd argue that the Jay and Silent Bob offerings are even more of a cult item within the larger "Askewniverse", and as such, this is a film made for a devoted but probably limited fan base. My hunch is that kind of fan will probably get at least some enjoyment out of this "reboot", even if some diehard aficionados may also find this kind of a hit and/or miss entry. Technical merits are generally solid for those considering purchase. Minus 1 star due to Kevin Smith milking his heart attack for every ounce of sympathy.

Kevin Smith's latest movie is a big bag of fun especially for those who have followed Jay and Silent Bob on their journey from Clerks to Reboot. It follows the same general plot as Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, yet there are twists and turns that are just hilarious. I first saw this movie while they were touring it with the J&SB Reboot Roadshow and had a blast watching it. I needed to get a second viewing in on BR since a number of jokes were drowned out by the audience's laughter, but I'm sure I'll watch it much more than that.

If you're a fan of Kevin Smith's View Askew movies, then this is an easy recommendation; especially so if you liked Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, which I did. Everyone involved looked like they were having fun. You'll appreciate this movie a lot more if you've seen Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and Clerks 2. Picture and audio quality are great, but keep in mind this movie had a tight budget. Extras are good, but I would have liked more of Kevin and Jay talking about coming back to these characters and looking back at the previous movies in context - That doesn't detract from what is here, though.

Kevin Smith has had some ups ("Red State") and downs ("Tusk", "Zombie Hosers") as of late so it was a great time to revisit the View Askewniverse that started with "Clerks" and lasted through "Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back" and we last visited in "Cleks II". Perfect time and the two iconic stoners of the films are back older but not necessarily wiser. This was a lot more heartfelt than I expected it to be and it really felt like a homecoming. The film is filled with gags, cameos, references, and more. Just a terrific return. A fun film. Kevin Smith fans will get the most out of it. As always stay through the end credits!
