Two Guys and Movie/Caselman
When I was 11 years old, I spent many a Friday staying up all night at friend’s slumber parties.
If you’ve ever been to a sleepover filled with boys heading into their teen years, there are really only three subjects spoken of: girls, farts and puberty – who was hitting it and where they were finding new body hair.
If these subjects are offensive to you in any way, then I would suggest staying as far away from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Watching this movie is like spending two hours in a junior high school boys’ locker room after the newest Victoria’s Secret catalogue comes out.
Not only does this movie win the all-time award for the number of F-words spoken in one setting on the silver screen – 227 according to Screenit.com – but it wins a close second to the worst Star Wars offshoot ever made, beat only by The Ewok Adventure.
The film was directed and written by Kevin Smith (Chasing Amy and Mall Rats) who also plays Silent Bob, the mute sidekick who is constantly verbally abused by his life-time friend Jay.
Jason Mewes, (Chasing Amy and Mall Rats) whose acting has about as much talent as Andrew Dice Clay with a mullet, plays Jay, the vulgar, outspoken leader of the homophobic duo who leads the male population for coming up with creative names for genitalia.
One of the only saving graces in this film is the sheer number of gifted actors Smith brought in to help him on this project. There are cameos by George Carlin, Jason Biggs, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Shannon Doherty, James Van Der Beek, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Judd Nelson, Wes Craven, Jon Stewart, Chris Rock and Will Ferrell.
Smith also cast a foursome of beautiful women, played by Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie 2), Eliza Dushku (Bring It On), Ali Larter (Final Destination) and new-comer Jennifer Schwalbach Smith. These women play a militant group of animal activists who pick up Jay and Silent Bob and persuade them to help them with their plans.
The rest of the movie is basically Meet Joe Dirt: More Dirt, Less Laughs. If you’re 11 years old, I might recommend this movie to you, unfortunately it’s rated R and you probably shouldn’t be watching it anyway.
If you’re old enough to see this movie, I would recommend you drink heavily before attempting to see it. That way you have a reason to get up and leave to take a potty break and the movie might even seem funny.
