Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (Dimension Collector's Series) [DVD]

its the perfect stupid little stoner comfort favorite for me. I bought it because rewatch it all the time, its great to just put on in the background. Its a silly little stoner comedy with an all star cast who are clearly just having a good time like what more can you want? Kevin Smith remains a great director with a good sense of pacing and an engaging plot. Not a minute is wasted, its a good pace and the one liners are snappy and often. Are they stupid dick and fart and weed jokes? Absolutely, and thats the point. Roll one up and don't take it too seriously.

Not gonna lie, kinda bummed. I unwrapped the case and the disc was just bouncing around getting scratched up. I love this movie, really hoping it plays right

Great glad I could finally get this movie been looking for it in stores for a while found it fast on Amazon

In summation, the movie is a 90-minute long in-joke, being that if you haven't seen Smith's four previous movies, this one might not make a whole lot of sense. Jay and Bob get booted away from their stomping grounds at the quickstop, Clerks, and are informed by their old pal Brody, Mallrats, that the rights to the comic book based on them written by Banky Edwards and Holden McNeil, Chasing Amy, has been sold and is being made into a big hollywood movie starring those miramax lynchpins Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, Dogma. Our heroes decide that to set things right, they must travel out to L.A. and stop the movie from getting made. How's that for a plot!Once again, Kevin Smith has crafted a hilarious, well written fun film. And once again, it seems that he has caught a large amount of flack for doing so. Critics dismissed it. Mainstream viewers largely ignored it. Gay and lesbian groups protested it. Granted, the characters curse way too much, but is it too much to ask for people to sit back and just laugh and have a good time anymore?Smith, of course is no stranger to problems of this sort. All of his films so far have ticked off one group or another, talons bared, if for no good reason than to pick on the odd man out, a filmmaker whos virtues lie outside the " must see t.v. " crowd.I don't think that Michael Bay has this problem.Jay and Job is no Pearl Harbor, thank goodness, but visualy speaking, Smith has grown in spades, although I never had a problem with his visual style in the first place. The 2:35:1 aspect ratio , other rwise known as "scope" , is used here as it was in Dogma is used to perfect effect, with the frame being filled to the full extent of what is required for any given scene.This movie is just a big carton. Ever seen one of those? After the problems with his last movie, I think Smith need to take a break in a lighter direction for this one. If you know Smith's love of dvd, you know what to expect in terms of extras. The commentay's not as good this time around, but there's plenty else to find..., music videos, trailers and internet spots and of course deleted scenes, two of which are worth the price of the disc alone. If you don't like Smith and his slackers, go buy something that won an oscar. If, however, you do like him, do yourself a favor and buy this movie. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll spill juice on your good pants!

Both the film and it's DVD were made for the hardcore view askew crowd. The ones that follow all the dramatics surrounding Kevin Smith. The ones that know all the interconnections between his Jay and Bob films. The film itself is twice as funny if you've seen his previous films. The DVD was made even more for the fan club... All the intros are filmed at Kevin Smith's comic book store in Red Bank. He brings in family and friends. Throughout, he touches on issues like the Catholic League (protested Dogma) and GLAAD (protested this one... until he paid a four zero donation) We, having followed both and many other such examples on sites like newsaskew.com know exactly what he's talking about.And personally, I feel that's just great. Smith and crew would be nowhere without their devoted fanbase. Smith reconizes this and plays, although his outreach to fans is what built it up so large to begin with. The special features range from the mundane (trailers) to the obscure (a detailed guide to Moris Day and the Time) to the View Askew staples (commentary and deleted scenes)View Askew has always made great deleted scenes sections. Here we get 40 of 'em.The film itself is presented in wonderful anamorphic widescreen at the theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. This film is Smith's most visually complex and cohesive effort yet (perhaps due to having such an experienced D.P.?), so this is important. The audio track is also Smith's most complex effort yet... The 5.1 Dolby Digital track is surprisingly active, compared to the dialog driven tracks found on the DVDs of his previous efforts.Bottom Line: If you're a View Askew fan, you'll love this DVD. If you're not, this movie may make you one.

You know when you can’t find anything to watch you usually go back to something you’ve watched before? Yeah this movie is my bible. I put it on when I have a long drive. I have it downloaded to my phone so when I am staying at a hotel with no WiFi I have something to watch. I quote this movie on a day to day basis. If I was stranded on a island I would have this movie and a DVD player and I would be set. ALL AND ALL AS A OVERALL MOVIE…it’s alright :/

I love this movie. If you're a fan of Kevin Smith, you'll like this one. To be fair, many of the jokes won't make any sense if you're not familiar with the rest of the Smith oevre! The blue-ray issue has brilliant, clear images and sound. It's a shame there aren't any more features. I haven't had a chance to check out the commentary track yet, but it's on my to-watch list.One of my favourite highlights is the scene with Carrie Fisher. 'It's easy to say you live by the book, but can you? Can you live by the book?' 'Well, you picked us up. I gotta, don't I?' Classic Smith humour.

I don't really know how to describe Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back without swearing. I'll just say that the whole ordeal with the orang-utan is by far the best part of the movie, and convincing Will Ferrell's FWM Willenholly that the orang-utan is their adopted child in their homosexual relationship is the cherry on the cake. A surprise cameo from Mark Hamill, along with appearances from Jason Lee, Matt Damon, and recent Oscar winner [in a way] Ben Affleck make this a movie you'll always enjoy.

Still one of the funniest films I’ve seen even after 20+ years. Purple and excellent in one package

All good old school jay and silent bob always good to watch

This film is uses both crude and clever comedy creating a similar atmosphere to that of waynes world or Bill and Ted. The plotline is wonderfully impossible and characters new and known from other films in the franchise, (clerks, mallrats, chasing amy, dogma) pop up making it wholey fun film though not suitable for young viewers. A point to note is that you don't need to have seen the other films as the plot is unrelated but you may find it more enjoyable if you have seen them and they are excellent films as well.
