Jay And Silent Bob

Do I Get My Check? By Luke Jorgensen The movie Jay and unfathomed go after Strike back, written and directed by Kevin Smith, is a huge disappointment. After conceive the previous four of his snaps, Clerks, M every last(predicate)rats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma, my expectations were tick off well above the output of this take in. Everything from the plot to dim Bobs disreputable monologue screamed quick bucks. Essentially all of Smiths movie theatres are related. co-occur characters and themes are present. Even with that companionship expectations of new jokes and ideas are non un alto bulge outher. Cheech and Chong eventide came up with new jokes.

Jay and mum Bob located out to stop production of the film Bluntman and Chronic, whose characters are establish on them. They also want the specie that they are authorise to for using their likeness. Although non always full of an amazing story, this film leaves something to be desired for a plot. Two st iodiners hitchhiking across the States is not precisely up to par with Smiths previous films. random and ridiculous preserve be used to describe it. Jay and static Bobs stoner lifestyle is manoeuvreny, but like Half bake not exactly feature length film material.

In this film Jay and understood Bob are the central characters of the film for the first time. Previous films acknowledge them from time to time, usually climaxing with Silent Bobs scholarly monologue on an new(prenominal) characters problem. Silent Bob is just that, until the one point in the movie where he talks. In Chasing Amy, Silent Bob explains how he chased the eff of his life away because he was afraid of his give birth intimate inexperience. This provides some help to the otherwise lost soul contend by Ben Affleck. Bobs monologue has become something that his strike outs cherish. The monologue in this film however is like listening to an uneducated man onerous to sound intelligent. His monologue states that basically they are entitled to the money, which negates the hearty trip they just went on. He obviously knew this before hand.

Silent Bob communicates with gestures and facial nerve expressions watch the same. In previous films Silent Bob entertains with a variety of different expressions. When surprised his eyeball widen to the size of basketballs. Since his actions have to be understandable, he is extra to what and how he gestures. Over and hour of gesturing and over exaggerated facial expressions grew tiresome.

Aside from the Fugitive, the parodies in this film were amazingly lame and did cypher to further the storyline. Charlies Angels was obviously used for the sole fact of change seats with teenage boys. Smoking weed with Scooby-Doo and the gang is just added crap to the pile of bad parodies. The actors were constantly making fun of themselves and the movie, which grew old quick. The addition of Charlies Angels and Scooby-Doo did nothing but attract stoners and boners to the theater. This whitethorn be the greatest picture ever made for 14-year-old boys.(NY Times) pile targeted for the viewing of this film probably have not even seen Smiths other puddle. This is ludicrous since the themes and jokes used in this film can only be understood and appreciated by viewing the other films.

Smith sold his soul to the god of money and materialism. The addition of the four beautiful babes in this film is not something I ever saw him doing. Previous characters are all portrayed as average, if not below average, people.



Young adults who dont do much besides hanging out at the mall, wash room store clerks, and cartoonists are not exactly glamorous lifestyles. foursome beautiful international jewel thieves are not exactly average. The attitude projected throughout the film is one of who cares. secret code was concerned about quality or content. Concern seems only to be with the money made for production of this film.

Maybe it is my own selfish wants, or maybe my lack of understanding of the work that was done. The expectations were high, but the results were poor. Four good films for every bad one, roughly writer/directors would take that any day. George Lucas went from Star Wars to Howard the Duck, Smiths descent is not near as dramatic. Not satisfactory to say the least. From bootless parodies, lack of enthusiasm, terrible monologue, lack of plot, and aim for 14-year-old viewers the knowledge that was Kevin Smith is hard to swallow. He ordain bounce back. Everyone makes mistakes. This is one of his. Maybe not his last, probably not his first, but hopefully they do not become the norm. Still a fan Smith will get the benefit of the doubt. He should be paying people to go and watch this flop, not the other way around. Staying home and watching reruns of Full House will provide more laughs and entertainment. Expectations are still high for Smith, hopefully he can deliver better results next time.
