- Once again, we do like to keep 99% of the reviews off the front page and have you post them over in the Forums area, but for the big ones, we’ll make an exception. Roger Ebert has just revealed a THREE STAR review for Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. Three out of four ain’t bad for sure, and this also should mean a thumbs-up from him on his television program this weekend.
The charm of a Kevin Smith movie is that it assumes you do not enter the theater as a blank slate. “Chasing Amy†assumes a little knowledge of the world of serious comic books and collectors; “Dogma†required you to know something about Catholic theology, and “Jay and Silent Bob†has moments like the one where the Affleck character defines the Internet for Jay: “It’s a place used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography together.†This is a much more sophisticated idea of the Net than we find in high-tech cyberthrillers, where the Net is a place that makes your computer beep a lot.
Whether you will like “Jay and Silent Bob†depends on who you are. Most movies are made for everybody. Kevin Smith’s movies are either made specifically for you, or specifically not made for you.
Check out the entire review HERE. There’s some glaring errors in it as far as character names and previous film appearances, so the review is far from perfect journalism, but hey, at least Ebert liked the flick.
