DVD Review By John Barker:
- Who said they don't make em like they used to?
This is the first solo adventure for the comic duo of Jay and Silent
Bob who have become a fixture in the films of indie auteur Kevin Smith
and while this is not his best film it is still funny.
The film sees serial marijuana smokers Jay, (Jason Mewes), and Silent
Bob, (Kevin Smith), take on Hollywood, well specifically Miramax studio’s
who are making a Bluntman & Chronic comic book adaptation
inspired by the dubious duo. The film takes on road movie format
encountering jewel thieves and even an orangutan on their way to L.A in
a quest to receive the recognition they deserve......more

Review By Blake French:
 
- Zero stars: See it and die!
Hollywood is in a fierce competition this year: who can release the most
terrible movies before the 2001 movie year comes to an end—and it couldn’t
come soon enough. There have been countless contenders for worst film of the
year as to date, but do any of them compare with this movie? Even "Pootie
Tang," "Joe Dirt," and "Saving Silverman" displayed a
greater level of intelligence than this worthless, pointless sack of cow dung.
They portrayed human beings and showbiz as harmless, sweet nature elements of
modern culture.
"Jay and Silent Bob" doesn’t even do that. Kevin Smith, director
of such overrated raunchy comedies like "Chasing Amy,"
"Clerks," and "Dogma," have directed a movie here beyond
average human comprehension. It is not possible for any mature, civilized member
of society to connect with such a brainless mess of dirty jokes and crude humor.
No intellectual moviegoer will laugh at the mind-numbing array of insults and
circumstances that transpire on screen.....more
