All the wrong reasons

Warning: Spoilers
Jay and Silent Bob give away the rights to their name as it is being used in a reboot. There is a kick-off of the film in Hollywood at the Chronic-Con event. They travel to Hollywood in an attempt to stop the feature. Jay is traveling with his daughter Milly (Harley Quinn Smith) who in real life is Kevin Smith's daughter, although she looks more like Jay (Jason Mewes). The film was packed with old film and pop culture references, I dare say I did not get them all. It was also a critique of itself claiming the reboot was horrible, Kevin Smith was a bad director who always puts his daughter into the film. There are references to "Chasing Amy" and "Clerks" two productions I did not see as well as something to do with Jersey Girls. All in all the film attempts to bill Kevin Smith as some pop culture icon. This is something I don't like. Pop culture iconic films should always be decided by the viewing audience and never by a self-promoting director who talks way too much in the film to be called "Silent."

Bill and Ted were better.

Be sure to watch the credits as it appears they cut the best scenes and placed them there.
