Jay and Silent Bob Reboot
Jay and Silent Bob Reboot is an entertaining return to the View Askewniverse that celebrates the past while keeping an eye fixed on the future.
After twenty - five years and six movies , Kevin Smith ’s View Askewniverse has reached the same finish its fellow portion out macrocosm , the MCU , did a while ago : you ’ve either done your prep and can understand the absolute majority of its source , or you ’re not commit in these films at all . The seventh introduction , Jay and Silent Bob Reboot , is a tidy sum likeEndgamein particular , in the sense that it ’s a love missive to its franchise ’s history , yet devote its Divine an opportunity to correct the mistakes of their past and bring a newfound sense of maturity and wisdom to the table . There ’s also a lowbrow gag ask a portable earth-closet because , as the honest-to-goodness and wiser Smith recognizes , there ’s nothing wrong with a stern prank when it ’s direct at a deserve target area ( literally).Jay and Silent Bob Rebootis an entertaining return to the View Askewniverse that celebrates the yesteryear while keeping an eye fixed on the future .
Jay and Silent Bob Rebootpicks up in the present , as the titular dyad ( Jason Mewes and Smith ) are cop for operate a marijuana business in the shop next to Quick Stop Groceries . While their court - appoint attorney ( Justin Long ) has picayune trouble clearing their gens , he also tricks the twosome into sign forth their name rights to Saban Films . turn out , Saban is developing a reboot of theBluntman and Chronicmovie , which is now a cult classic gross with its own convention , Chronic Con . Determined to reclaim their names and discontinue the reboot , Jay and Silent Bob once again set out on a route trip to Hollywood . But along the way , they make a life - changing uncovering : Jay has a teen girl , Millennium " Milly " Faulken ( Harley Quinn Smith ) , and she require them to take her and her Friend to Chronic Con , where the reboot ’s manager , " Kevin Smith " , is planning to film the movie ’s final scene .
A legacy sequel or " reboot - quel " to the 5th View Askewniverse film , 2001’sJay and Silent Bob Strike Back , Jay and Silent Bob Rebootis to Smith what this year’sGlassis to M. Night Shyamalan ; it ’s not a return to their origin , it ’s a reflection on the scrappy conductor they were begin out in the ' 90s , and the idiosyncratic artist they ’ve become in the decades since . The film is as much the handiwork of the cat who released the outre revulsion - comediesTuskandYoga Hosersas it is the one who helm comparatively grounded film likeClerksandChasing Amy , and the blending of these trend results in some of Smith ’s best employment in some time . His screenplay is built on a heap of meta - computer address and his good sense of craftsmanship ( per tradition , he served as his own music director and editor in chief ) still has a do - it - yourself aesthesia , but there ’s a confidence and sense of easiness to his filmmaking . This is n’t Smith trying to prove anything , it ’s him being comfortable with who he is and drawing from the experience he ’s hit with time .
That sense of easiness extends to his monolithic hurl of late or longtime henchman , who are clearly having a honorable time reuniting with their erstwhile friend here . The View Askewniverse has never been too ( or at all ) concerned about continuity when it come up to casting , andJay and Silent Bob Rebootwill only further confound anyone who ’s trying to keep track of how many actors meet multiple fictional character in the enfranchisement . Even so , the ensemble ’s joyfulness is infective and there ’s a simple pleasure to be had in ascertain them riff on their old office and career misstep alongside Smith . And though the striking moments are handled with anything but subtly , there ’s a reality to them which stanch from the actors having known each other for many years ( or , in Mewes and Harley Quinn Smith ’s case , the latter ’s entire biography ) , realise them genuinely relate at time .
The film is equally sincere in the elbow room it satirizes the construct of " reboot - quels " ( likeStar war : The Force Awakens ) , yet works as one itself and recognizes how they can serve to direct a dealership ’s previous shortcomings . Gone , for instance , is the ironic homophobia of View Askewniverse movies past ; instead , withJay and Silent Bob Reboot , Kevin Smith becomes an ally who recognize there are plenty of other ways to check dirty gag ( whether they involve weed , sex , or a combination of the pair ) that do n’t require homophile panic . He even detect a way to redeem his most problematic moving-picture show , Chasing Amy , without just bedevil it under the heap , and give its fan the miniskirt - sequel they deserve in the unconscious process . increment might not do easy for Jay and Silent Bob , but this movie demonstrate it ’s potential without forcing them to recede their comedic edge - and there ’s a lesson to be memorize from that .
Due to its maverick dismissal , the only people likely to seeJay and Silent Bob Rebootin dramatics are the hardcore Smith lover who actively seek it out . Those who do will be reward with a return trip to the View Askewniverse that ’s as irreverent and laughable as one could hope , but at the same time thoughtful and reflects Smith ’s dependable gratitude that he ’s still stand ( following his heavily - publicized heart blast in 2018 ) , sizable than ever , and has an interview that continue to enjoy his brand of silliness . And who know : ifJay and Silent Bob Rebootis Smith’sThe Force Awakens , then perhaps the upcomingClerks 3will be hisThe Last Jedi . Well , in term of quality , anyway .
