Movie review - "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" (2001) **1/2

I was disappointed by this film when I saw it in the cinema, but enjoyed it a lot more when watching it again on DVD. I fall back after the gains made by Chasing Amy and Dogma, this nonetheless contains a number of funny moments, albeit a few too many gay jokes. The in-jokes aren't that annoying (they perhaps do the look to camera one time too many) - although Smith's four previous films all varied so wildly in tone that at times it sems like they are "crossing the streams" - the world of Chasing Amy doesn't seem to really co-exist with that of Mallrats. The bad girl gang is fun, as is the chase through the movie studio at the end.
