Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Starring: Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, and Shannon Elizabeth

Directed by: Kevin Smith

Synopsis: The fifth installment in Smith's New Jersey saga centers entirely on Jay and Silent Bob as they try to stop the movie about the comic book characters based on themselves "Bluntman and Chronic" from being made. Almost all of the characters from the previous 4 films make an appearance in Kevin Smith's swan song to this fine saga.

My thoughts: This movie failed to connect with me in a way that its predecessors did, and ridiculous and relentless obscenities slightly took away from this movie's appeal to me, but I still loved every minute of it. Every actor and actress looked like they were having so much fun, it didn't matter too much that the movie doesn't have anything to say. 

Score: 8 out of 10
