The premise is cute. Make a film reboot about the reboot phenomenon that's about "itself".
Everything else blows. We have two 50 year old men playing characters created as and meant to cater to grunge stoner 90s kids. The jokes that are new are barely worth a chuckle. The rest of the crap is, well all re-joked. And the "adventure" aspect of the movie is gone. Doesn't feel at all like a destination. Just feels like locations where they can squeeze in whatever lame old SNL celeb is required at the moment.
Kevin Smith was decent once upon a time, but he got old and his writing did not. Clerks was quirky, Mallrats was decent for a dumb youth comedy. But I should've known better after I sat throughTusk.
Sorry, Id have like to like this but Jay & Silent Bob are relics of a long gone era. Everyone wants nostalgia to work, but it's just like opiates. The second hit doesn't get you as high as the first. Nostalgia just quickly feeds the addiction you can't explain. Then it's on to the next one.
