(1 - 44) of 44 OFCS Rating: 59% Rotten Page   1   "Here’s a sure-fire recipe for a bad movie."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker "The film’s premise is doubly clever and self-conscious: Jay and Silent Bob are moved to action by Hollywood’s phoniness, and their story is all about the resulting manufacture, destruction and confusion of identities."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs 3/4 "...a madcap comedy that rarely disappoints."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "The movie is so conventional that it ends up being just as cliched as the Hollywood filmmaking system it sends up."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3/4 "Smith's homegrown pastiche is compact, sometimes rambling, but always hysterical."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A- "The jokes are surprisingly on-target and fresh, with few misfires."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "One big inside joke where you’re rewarded in huge laughs if you know the info."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress D+ "Kevin Smith, coming off the wonderful, challenging Dogma, fills it with sub-Road Trip gross-out jokes and expects us to buy it because he's just oh-so-ironic."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov D+ "A flick designed so exclusively for his rabid fans that outsiders won't even understand, let alone enjoy it."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Uneven, and likely only to satisfy the Faithful. Others will find it sporadically amusing, but not worth the full price of admission."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "giddy, goofy, random, crude and rude, and it is often side-splittingly hilarious"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/4 "Smith's filthy dialogue is guaranteed to offend, while inspiring surreptitious giggles."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 9/10 "Lovingly devoted to [Smith's] fans."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen D- "While this is sure to amuse die-hard Smith fans, anyone else may either be hopelessly lost by the in-jokes or frustrated by the lack of screen time afforded the expansive supporting cast."   Matinee Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp 1/4 "Behind the guise of the Jay and Silent Bob characters and a gob of irony, this film is really quite nasty and mean spirited."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman "Certainly not a perfect comedy and definitely not one for all viewers, yet entertaining enough for what it's trying to do and be for its target audience."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 8/10 "I had a blast!!!"   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3/4 "The film feels like a download of Mr. Smith's brain."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 5/10 "...a rather crude, strongly self-indulgent, and often repetitious comedy that, nonetheless, was largely amiable and good-natured."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "Offers more laughs per minute than anything you'll see this year."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3.5/4 "Mewes is a strangely compelling lead, and that in itself is good reason enough to see the film. That is, if the fact that this is the funniest movie of the year hasn't convinced you yet!"   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "clearly an exercise for his extended filmmaking family to have fun and they mostly let us in on it"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/5 "Humor leans heavily on elementary pop-culture parody, a particularly tiresome and parasitic form of humor that depends on an audience of smirking know-it-alls who can be trusted to snicker whenever they get the reference."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "I’m really on the fence with this one, but I cannot give it a solid recommendation based solely on the fact that it loses its momentum far too often than it should."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 4/10 "This feels like the high school skit that the principal would not let the kids do on talent night."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "This boisterous and frequently laugh- out- loud comedy isn't just a larkish retrospective of Smith's ViewAskew universe of characters ... it's a romp through Smith's psyche."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "A road/chase comedy that wants nothing more than to make the audience laugh--and are there ever laughs to be had."   Movie Poop Shoot   Michael Dequina 3/5 "A lot of critics are bashing this film, calling it a 100 minute long in-joke. Yep. It sure is. I laughed my *** off."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/4 "Jay and Silent Bob, aside from being a sterling valentine to fans, serves as a wickedly perceptive satire of the movie business and the audience at large."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 3/5 "Smith fans will have a lot of fun."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "O cineasta parece julgar que o espectador irá rir apenas dos inúmeros palavrões ditos pelos personagem ao longo de todo o filme."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3.5/5 "Goofy adventures ensue."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/5 "I have no idea how it'll play for people unfamiliar with Smith's work, but I rolled with it."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 2.5/4 "As crass and foul as it may be, in this age of low-brow comedies, this is nevertheless more intelligent and witty than most."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C+ "...the film is too loaded with inside jokes and mutual admiration and camaraderie to draw in the audience."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 6/10 "If there were ever a movie that deserved that label "For Fans Only", this is it."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg B- "I can’t imagine how Smith can capture a big enough audience to pay off this private joke, but the inner geek in me had too much fun to care."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "A cinematic garage sale that allows the director to sweep up any and all debris collected in his psyche since the release of Clerks."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell 2.5/4 "...In the end you just really feel sorry for Mark Hamill, I mean really can't he get better parts than in unfunny comedies?"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson "The movie dribbles and drags in patches, which is supposed to be OK since it's stoner humor, but Smith has it in him to do much better."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek "Wannabe film students and hipster cinephiles are the target audience for this crude, vulgar, gross comedy."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger "Though it's every bit as dialogue intensive as Smith's other films, it lacks any pretence of relevance or intelligence that make his self-indulgent rambling occasionally bearable."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 2.5/4 "No audience will enjoy itself more at a film, as long as they remember that this film is raunchy and does not stop at any boundary of good taste."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 10/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf  (1 - 44) of 44 OFCS Rating: 59% Rotten Page   1
