À propos de ce film

When Jay & Silent Bob discover that a reboot of the Bluntman & Chronic movie is being made, they head off to ChronicCon in Hollywood to stop it. Along the way, they run into Jay's old girlfriend, Justice (Shannon Elizabeth) and Jay discovers he has a daughter he never knew he had -- one who forces Jay & Silent Bob, at knifepoint, to take her and her 3 friends with them to Hollywood, so they can be extras in the new movie. A reboot of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, in which they find out a movie is being made based on a comic book based on them and head off to Hollywood to stop it, this movie takes on remakes, reboots and sequels, whilst simultaneously being all 3! Filled to the brim with cameo appearances from a myriad of past characters in the View Askewniverse, as well as some new, but very familiar, faces.

Notes et avis

Not the best Kevin Smith film by a long way but it has some genuine funny moments. Full of callbacks to other View Askew films and self-referential in-jokes, it's a love letter to Kevin's career as well as a biting commentary on the the industry's lazy and inconsistent approach to reboots and remakes. I wouldn't recommended it to anyone who hasn't seen Smith's earlier stuff as a lot of the humour references this. Definitely one for the Kevin Smith fans.

Massive Kevin Smith fan but I dont think this should be called a film. Its almost like a this is your life episode with all the actors who worked with him previously being guilt tripped into sending him footage of themselves pretending to be in the same room as him. With the worlds shittest performance from his deaf-voiced nasal daughter draining any enjoyment you could of had from this film this is sadly a very very painful watch.

Total fan service. Great fun. Quick note on the 'naff' ending. The film's original third act was meant to revolve around and heavily feature Stan Lee but was rewritten due to his death.
