Loved the first one. This one, not so much. But I am an every other Kevin Smith movie fan, so that isn't surprising. Clerks- good/Chasing Amy-eeeh, Mallrats-good/Jay and Silent Bob-eeh, Dogma-Great!/Jersey Girl-PU.
The bits are older, the shock talk less shocking. Not Kevin Smith's best work. Some of it very fun but lots of waiting around in between.
Rosario Dawson looks great as always.
Kevin continues to show that he is the smartest of the acting directors by casting himself once more as Silent Bob. Take a hint, Tarrantino and Burns and Shaymalan.

One of the things that most prompted Kevin Smith to make the film was a promise he made to friend Jason Mewes. If Mewes managed to stay off drugs he would be able to play the character of "Jay" one more time. Smith kept his promise.

Jason Mewes has always delivered, so complaints aside, I'm glad to hear that Kevin is a man of his word.
