Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019)

If you are like me and you're a child of the 90's then you were most definitely a fan of Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith) who brought laughter and joy to our hearts with classic titles like Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and even Clerks 2. Well when I heard they were coming out with another film entitled Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, I had to see and I have it for you guys today. Jay and Silent Bob manage to get themselves in trouble right from the get go when they operated an illegal pot shop. Without even realizing, they sold their names to Saban Films and they were no longer allowed to use them plus they were rebooting the Bluntman and Chronic film. So, Jay and Silent Bob decide that it's time to head back to Hollywood to stop alongside a daughter Jay didn't know he had and her friends. The film stars Fred Armisen (The Little Hours) as Merkin, Aparna Brielle (Grimm) as Jihad, Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie) as Justice,  Rosario Dawson (Zombieland: Double Tap) as Reggie, Treshelle Edmond (House) as Soapy, Alice Wen (Entourage) as Shan Yu, Harley Quinn Smith (Tusk) as Milly, and cameos by Smith film alums James Van Der Beek, Jason Biggs, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith, Ben Affleck as Holden McNeil, Jason Lee as Broadie Bruce, Brian O'Halloran as Dante Hicks, Matt Damon as Loki, Joey Lauren Adams as Alyssa Jones, and cameos by Method Man, Redman, Tommy Chong, Keith Coogan, Diedrich Bader,  David Dastmalchian, Dan Fogler, Chris Jericho, Chris Hemsworth, Val Kilmer, Kate Micucci, and so many more.

One of the ultimate rules going into any of these films is that if you can't find the humor in it then you were never meant to watch Jay and Silent Bob. This film was a constant trip down memory lane with all of the cameos in the film and they covered every single one of those films that I mentioned above. One of my favorite cameos and it's only because I had such a huge crush on her as a kid was seeing Joey Lauren Adams who was in Mallrats and Chasing Amy and it was like shutting a door because now you've been given a glimpse into where all of them are at in this day and age. The only plus side at the moment is that we are supposedly getting a third Clerks film and apparently thanks to the success of this one, we are getting Twilight Of The Mallrats (Mallrats 2). I also loved Matt Damon's cameo as Loki in the film because he put a nice comedic twist on what Loki has been up to and it was great. The writing for the film was terrific because they never took themselves too seriously and they even poked fun at all the things fans had complained about in the past as well as the way Hollywood works and that was the fun in it all. The cinematography was great, the comic con scenes were great, and the acting for the most part was good. I liked that Harley Quinn Smith was given more of the floor to try and shine in the film and in the end I enjoyed her performance. I didn't think it was Oscar worthy, but neither is anything in this film. Like I said before, if you are a fan of any of his films, then you need to do yourself a favor and check this one out. I am going to give the film an B for a final grade.
