When Jay and Silent Bob learn that their comic-book alter egos, Bluntman and Chronic, have been sold to Hollywood as part of a big-screen movie that leaves them out of any royalties, the pair travel to Tinseltown to sabotage the production.
A deliberately lowbrow fan-service comedy that splits critics cleanly along the lines of how much tolerance you have for Kevin Smith's brand of crude, self-referential humor. Those in Smith's orbit found plenty to enjoy; those outside it saw loose plotting, scenes that overstay their welcome, and a filmmaker aiming squarely at the lowest common denominator.
“be the greatest picture ever made for 14-year-old boys. Mr. Smith may have hit his target, but he aimed very low.”
Elvis Mitchell·The New York Times
“for sheer laughs, both mindless and incredibly smart, nothing since 1997's Waiting for Guffman has even compared.”
