Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back

This movie takes me back to my teenage years. It’s so funny and I love all the actors it has in it that you wouldn’t think would be in this kind of movie

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.

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!

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

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.

This is one of my favorite comedies of recent years, so I picked up this Blu-Ray edition recently. A little ways into viewing, I decided to compare with the standard DVD version. I'm disappointed to say that, I really don't see any significant difference. I compared a couple of different scenes, notably the early scene in the comic book shop, which offers alot of detail in the background, etc. I honestly wonder if this truly a 1080p transfer, especially since this is a relatively recent movie. I did a similar comparison with my Poltergeist Blu-Ray disc (a film made in 1982), and the difference is obvious.....This, combined with the fact that this release has none of the great special features on the standard DVD except one commentary, make this particular Blu-Ray disc somewhat of a misfire in my opinion. If you have the standard DVD, I would save your money.Oh, and in case anyone cares, I'm viewing on the new Panasonic DMP BD60 Blu Ray player, on a Samsung 50" DLP set. Pretty much all my other Blu-Ray discs are looking fantastic.Anyway, I still give this review 4 stars, since the movie is so great, in my opinion. Packed with laughs, and much more intelligent humor than in many recent comedies of this genre (OK, quite a bit of moronic, base bathroom humor as well!) It's all good.....cheers!

Non è il miglior film di Kevin Smith, ma è divertente (forse un po' troppo volgare).Il film è soltanto in Inglese e ha i sottotitoli in Inglese, niente Italiano.Descrizione del prodotto e spedizione, ottima!

Die beiden sind halt Kult. An Qualität und Tonm habe ich nichts auszusetzen. Nette Extras und sehr kurzweilig. Gebe ich 5 STernme für - allerdings nur für Fans!

Ce film est en anglais uniquement alors à moins de parler anglais ou de connaître ce film Par coeurs je vous déconseille cet achat... Dommage ce film est terrible

4.5/5 pour le film mais techniquement, ce blu-ray n'est pas du tout à la hauteur. L'image est certes mieux que le DVD mais c'est à la limite de l'upscale ! Le son, je sais pas trop, j'écoute au casque.... Tous les suppléments des éditions DVD ont disparus, et il y en avait un paquet ! Comme le film n'est pas dispo en France en Blu-ray et que l'américain est (sensé!) être zoné A, la seule alternative est celui-ci.A ne réserver qu'aux personnes parlant parfaitement anglais, car pas de VF ni sous titres français, ni anglais !

Buena calidad precio, rápida recepción.
