Critics, per Wikipedia

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 65% based on 40 reviews, with an average of 6.4/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "Fan-focused to a fault, Jay & Silent Bob Reboot tries to mock the same audience nostalgia it's mining -- and pulls it off often enough to satisfy the faithful." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 46 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. JoBlo.com's Paul Shirey gave the film an 8/10 and stated, "As comedy is so exceptionally subjective and this film so clearly tied to a somewhat niche appeal, I can only grade it as a fully biased fan of Smith, even if some of his…

    ‘The 4:30 Movie’ review: Kevin Smith delivers his best film in years by writing about teenagers instead of grown men who act like them. > Thirty years ago, Kevin Smith burst into the world of independent filmmaking in a blaze of glorious serendipity that nobody could replicate if they tried. Self-financed for less than $30,000 and shot entirely in the convenience store where he worked, the original “Clerks” was an electrifying mix of slacker wit and utter absurdism at a time when putting pop…

    Yes, it's the View Askewniverse, created by Kevin Smith. It started with his independent film Clerks, followed by Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks II, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and Clerks III (There's also an animated Clerks show). ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/048fe287-a3e8-4b39-9d6e-cbc597462d0e.png) The stoner couple Jay and Silent Bob show up in all of them. Silent Bob is played by Kevin Smith and Jay is Jason Mewes. The movies are fun, they are…

    "Jay And Silent Bob Reboot" gives Mewes a few opportunities to do drama, and he actually nails them. It helps that Harley Quinn Smith is a much better actor then either of her parents ever were (she's quite good on "Cruel Summer")

    Germany has been very useful. When I wanted to complete my Bill & Ted collection before Face the Music was released, I bought Bill & Ted's verrückte Reise in die Zukunft (Go to hell)from Germany as there was no UK version. Also, HMV had the exclusive to sell Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. It's long gone and eBay copies are pricey. Got it from Germany, £8 and it's the same disc for all of Europe. When I was on my Kevin Smith binge, I had to get Jersey Girl from Spain, the only Euro…

    Super Mario Bros. is sort of my classic one. Robert Zemeckis's Here is a good recent one. The Flash. Demonic by Neill Blomkamp. How Do You Know and Ella McCay. "love" is strong but I find Kevin Smith's recent work (Yoga Hosers, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Clerks III) very worthy of analysis.

    Clerks still holds up. Mallrats is quotable, but not very good. Chasing Amy is the most 1997 movie ever made. I thought Dogma was interesting and I appreciate him going for it. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is just a fun hangout. It goes downhill from there. (Jay and Silent Bob Reboot is dire.)
