Kevin Smith has done something not too many filmmakers are able to accomplish. He has directed 5 films in a row, that have been in my mind all funny, often though provoking and just really good movies. This is the fifth movie, the last of his New Jersey series with his always present Jay and Silent Bob, is not the best of his series but it is still possibly the funniest film I have seen this summer. A consistently silly yet laugh out loud fest of jokes and usual one liners from Smith that scores well, even if it doesn't score as well as Dogma or Clerks.
Here, the dynamic stoner duo find out through a weird new invention known as the internet (a place to bitch about movies and swap pornography) that a movie is being made about them, er, they're comic book alter egos from Chasing Amy known as Bluntman and Chronic. They get so steamed they head for Miramax studios in Hollywood to stop the movie. This starts the odyssey that brings up cameos including George Carlin (sick, but still funny), Carrie Fisher, Mark Hammil, and basically most of the stars from the past Smith movies.
This film is like a big inside joke, and if you get it, you'll like it more than others I guess. But it is still funny for anyone who wants a good laugh and is tired of some of the really lame comedies of late. It's a nice, if sometimes a little obscene (not in a bad way), gem. One more note, not only does the movie bring mack many of the past stars of the view askew movies, but it also answers a question: what happened to Jay and Silent Bob after the end of Mallrats. Kudos to Smith and the whole cast. A
