There are too many cameos in this crazy movie for me to tag and list here... It's a veritable Who's Who of past Kevin Smith films. A reunion of sorts. Written as a promise to pal Jason Mewes (after the actor went to rehab and got clean), Smith's reunion movie pulls out all the stops. They even dig up Morris Day & the Time for the grand finale.
So Jay and Silent Bob are on a cross-country adventure, hoping to claim the royalties they're owed by Brodie for using their comic book likenesses in a new movie. Along the way, as in any good road trip movie, they meet a lot of wacky characters. Some try to help them, others frame them for robbery. Many old favorites pop up again from Mooby's to the Quik Stop. And Ben Affleck and Matt Damon appear both as characters in the film and as themselves... so that's fun.
This isn't a movie to watch if you've never seen a Kevin Smith film before. If you have, it's like watching a long string of inside jokes being told by familiar friends. If you're a fan, chances are you've already seen this anyway... so what am I telling you for?
