Smith, coming off the madly audacious Dogma, knows that he's slumming this time and revels in it.

Philip French Guardian [UK] (Top Critic)

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

Scott Foundas Variety (Top Critic)

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

David Edelstein Slate (Top Critic)

I admit to enjoying -- in a drunken, half-asleep kind of way -- parts of this ramshackle road movie with its running Miramax guest stars and its endless homo jokes.

Kevin Smith fans will enjoy. Not for kids.

The epitome of self indulgence.

Like one massive inside joke that only regulars to the View Askew Universe will get, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is the ultimate measure of Smith's undeniable nerdiness.

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

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

The film feels like a download of Mr. Smith's brain.

What do you want, some meditation on the human condition?

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

While that may be enough for teenage fans, anyone expecting more will be sorely disappointed.

Along with CLERKS, it makes a nice bookend to [Kevin] Smith's Jersey chronicles

If not a masterpiece of thespianism, it's at least a fun ride through Smith's quirky mind and the lives of his unique characters.

At some point, irreverence and wit notwithstanding, enough is enough.

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!

A self-indulgent trip for Smith; pity, there's a fun movie in there dying to come out.

Poorly acted, poorly written, and absolutely entertaining.

...In the end you just really feel sorry for Mark Hamill, I mean really can't he get better parts than in unfunny comedies?
