Thoughts on Jay and silent Bob Reboot
Final Thoughts – This is an attempt to bring two of the favorite Kevin Smith creations to Jay and Silent Bob as the navigate the world of remakes, reboots and sequels, with the story bringing characters from previous movies into one universe, with a convention about the characters being included. We get an adventure across country, just like how the first Jay and Silent Bob story unfolds. The story does have plenty of messages in, a lot of the story gets to feel like a confession from Kevin Smith because of the mistakes he might have made in the past, with casting, writing, while understanding, the older you get the smarter, wiser you can become. We do also get plenty of wink, wink at the camera, that you would need to understand references to get the movie points, though the deeper we get the more frustrating it becomes. Leaving the deepest part of the story being about the importance of making the most of life.
Overall: Jay & Silent Bob Fans Will Enjoy.
