Kevin Smith's very last
installment of the view askew jersey movies, and it doesn't
disappoint. Jay and Silent Bob find out from Holden, the
co-creator, that the comic book based on their likenesses "Blunt
Man and
Chronic" is being made into a Hollywood movie.
The two travel across the U.S. and
to Hollywood to collect their "phat movie check". They are told
that they
cannot collect their money and therefore set out to destroy the
making of the movie by being superbly directed by the always
funny Chris Rock.
This fifth and last movie connects
all the other four Smith movies and really puts a nice close to
the New Jersey-Kevin Smith collection. There are many cameos by
many celebrities that you would not expect.
This movie is packed with laughs
and inside jokes for us
hardcore Smith fans.

The
Video
Widescreen (2:35:1) - IT is
enhanced for 16x9 televisions. This is by the far the best
looking Smith movie. The colors here are very clear and crisp.
Only a few specs here and there otherwise a great transfer.
The
Audio
Presented in Dolby Digital 5.1
Surround Sound (special DVD mix). The sound is very good and
clear. It's really put into great use for some of the songs used
throughout the movie that make that particular scene.
The
Extras
This DVD is loaded with goodies.

Smith who is joined by Scott Mosier and partially by the always
under-the-influence Jason Mewes.

Overall

memorable cameos and great dialogue. A great ending to the view
askew universe. Thank you Mr. Smith for 5 great movies that are
