Review of Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019) by Mattwicked — 09 Jan 2020

This movie is nothing but a poor attempt at cashing in on nostalgic 40-something ex-stoners who never outgrew peepee jokes. Most of the movie is a rehash of old "Strike back" scenes, and every little bit that's new feels tacked on for padding.

Friends of HQ Smith's character are a weak bland addition in order to "diversify" the cast, who weren't given any depth and felt as unnecessary as the whole movie. Almost every actor delivers subpar performance diluted by some good cameos.

Rosario Dawson's appearance was a breath of fresh air which made it heartbreakingly dull to keep watching "Reboot" after returning to Mewes and Smith's characters. During one scene, heroes visit a half-abandoned mall with Jason Lee working there as a comic book shop manager which feels like a metaphor for Jay and Silent Bob: Reboot.

The only things you'll find here is unfunny nerdy jokes made by fifty year old dudes trying their best to prove they're still cool. So best heed to the warning Smith thought he so cleverly referenced and KEEP OUT! DEAD INSIDE.
