Return of the Kevin Smith
Amy and I went to see Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back on Monday night. Most of the time, I try to lower my expectations for a film so that when it’s mediocre, I still feel like I spent good money. I forgot to do that for this film.
But it didn’t matter.
I really liked the whole thing. Kevin Smith’s final NJ-based film was a great final episode, pulling together Dogma, Chasing Amy, and Clerks into a a swirling mass of cameos, inside jokes, and one liners. (I haven’t seen Mall Rats, so I can’t comment as to whether there were any major references to that film as well.)
The only part of the movie that lagged was the Diamond heist which took way too long. The credits, as usual, were great, and the final song of the film had the audience in stitches. Good fun movie for adults.
