A mess, yes, but a funny and highly enjoyable one.

Consensus:
Fans can expect a good laugh as the cast from Smith's previous films reunite for Jay and Silent Bob's last bow. The loose plotting and crude language may be too much for others though.
Runtime: 1 hr 44 mins
Synopsis: Writer-director Kevin Smith's fifth and final installment of his New Jersey Chronicles (which began in 1994 with the breakout, low-budget comedy CLERKS) is a chance for scene-stealing, foulmouthed stoner Jay (Jason Mewes) and his taciturn sidekick/"hetero life mate" Silent Bob (Smith)...

Tune out the dreck and there are enough laughs for it to be worthwhile.

The perfect curtain call for these much-loved, wise but oh so stupid slackers.

There’s an awful lot to enjoy here, even if you’re not a hardcore Smith fan.

Because we like this world, and the characters plug away at the jokes so enthusiastically, this film brings a smile to the face.

A cross between a crude dumbed-down comedy and a home movie featuring a couple of dozen guest appearances by various performers and celebrities...

Has the lazy, bric-a-brac atmosphere of one of those blown-off movies made during down time on some bigger affair.

I have no idea how it'll play for people unfamiliar with Smith's work, but I rolled with it.

Mewes is a strangely compelling lead, and that in itself is good reason enough to see the film. That is, if the fact that this is the funniest movie of the year hasn't convinced you yet!
