Jay and Silent Bob recycled, with the boys heading out to Hollywood (again), when somebody decides to make a movie about them (again). Smith takes some well-aimed shots at the movie industry and his place in it, self parody and self-promotion going hand-in-hand. But there are whole episodes, like the one with Fred Armison, that die and don't go anywhere at all. Lots of familiar faces from earlier Smith movies turn up, and fans of the View Askew universe should get a kick out of that. Like a lot of Smith's films, it's all kind of an agreeable mess. Maybe a joint would help.
Val Kilmer
(1959-2025)
