Year:2001
Country of origin:USA
Director:Kevin Smith
Genre:Comedy caper
Starring:Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck
Rating:4/5
IMDB link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261392/
Tagline:Scooping the Money!
Favourite line:"I am the master of the C.L.I.T. Remember this fucking face. Whenever you see C.L.I.T., you'll see this fucking face."

After the romantic shenanigans of Chasing Amy, it's good to see Kevin Smith back doing what he does best: juvenility.

The plot:
Jay and Silent Bob are appalled to discover that their likenesses from the Bluntman comic books are about to be turned into a movie. Thinking that they should be due some of the takings from the film, they set about finding the production in order to shut the movie down, unless they get a slice of the pie.
Along the way they will encounter Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, a wildlife control man who may well be super-tit Will Ferrell, and a posse of delectable jewel thieves.

And highly entertaining fodder it is, too.
Jason Mewes is on top form as Jay, the vocal one of the pairing, and Smith penned some deliciously vulgar lines for him to deliver, too.
With cameos aplenty, loads of back references to Smith's earlier movies and some knowing winks to other popular movies, this is one that should certainly please Smith fans and cinephiles alike.
Good.
