What is supposed to be the final installment in Smith's View-Askew universe of films, it is pretty much the collection of a lot of, for lack of a better description, dick and fart jokes, pulled off as well as can be considering the film is 104 minutes long. Basically it's a movie for fans, with tons of in-jokes and a lot of tongue-in-cheek kind of acting by a shitload of cameos (probably the best by Gus Van Sant as the utterly disinterested director). It's got some extremely funny scenes, some are a stretch, a few make you kinda groan. It is vulgar and offensive in the best of ways. Big-time fan of the Star Wars anthology, Smith makes plenty of references here, including cameos by Carrie "Princess Lea" Fisher and Mark "Luke Skywalker" Hamill.
Jay and Silent Bob (director Kevin Smith for the unawares) find themselves getting gipped out of a big Hollywood deal when they learn through the grapevine that a movie is being shot based on a comic that is based on them (aka Bluntman and Chronic), and set out to stop the movie because of the bad publicity they're getting on the internet. The plot is pretty much secondary to the crazy shit the now-familiar duo can get involved in away from their usual spot at the Quickie Mart. If you haven't seen Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, or Dogma, you really shouldn't be watching this movie.
While there is some great comedy here, it pretty much all tends to be vulgar, and gets a bit old after awhile. But the movie itself is paced pretty well, and will definitely make you laugh if you're into that style of humor. What is most amusing is the cameos and the rips they perform (on themselves in most instances), including Smith regular Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Wes Craven, Jason "American Pie" Biggs, and James "Dawson's Creek" Van Der Beek (great line as he's being shoved into a squad car, "Doesn't anyone watch the WB?") [In defense, I have to, it's my job]. It's pure juvenile fun without the nudity (Damn!). Some great roles by Will Farrell, Jon Stewart, and yes, even Judd Nelson (watch his deleted scenes).
