Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Kevin Smith closes the book--literally--on his slacker reprobates with this fifth entry in his "View Askewniverse." When convenience store hangabouts Jay and Bob (see "Clerks") learn a film is being made with their comic book alter egos Bluntman and Chronic (see "Chasing Amy") and without any payment to them, the doped-out duo undertake a cross-country odyssey (see "Dogma") to sabotage the production (see "Mallrats"). Filled with cameos and in-jokes, the riotous road comedy stars Ben Affleck, Shannon Elizabeth, Will Ferrell, Jason Mewes. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, Uncompressed PCM 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), French; audio commentary; featurette.
