100. "A Big Perm Review"
In response to In response to 0


          

This was perhaps the dumbest movie I've seen in a long time.

It's immature. It's filled with dick and fart jokes befitting any adolescent. All the characters are morons.

You will be very entertained. Somehow, Kevin Smith succeeded where Mallrats failed. Watching the movie feels like my friends decided to surprise me by somehow getting millions of dollars and famous actors to film this superbly idiotic movie. It knows it's main audience, comic book/movie high school "cool" geeks, but it's also got enough for us twentysomething children of the 80s.

-several nods to Warner Bros. cartoon humor.
-the friggin' Time make a cameo appearance.
-lots of John Landis' outrageous humor.
-80s culture references galore (I mean, the Magic Mystery Tour Bus is in it, complete with Scooby and the Gang!!)
-the obligatory Star Wars references.
-the self-referencing "this is a bad movie and we know it" running gags.
-a tie-up of just about every other kevin smith film from clerks to chasing amy (there's references to dogma but that one was pretty much self-contained).
-actors that play several different characters (affleck, lee)

This movie is so funny. It's very dumb at times, I mean really dumb, as in farts are supposed to be hilarious dumb, but it's got some really good parts. With Chasing Amy Kevin Smith showed he can make a really good movie, with Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back he's just trying to make a helplessly stoopid movie.
1Love,
BigPerm

"Any fan of soul, no, any MUSIC LOVER must own Sinclair's "La Bon Attitude." I mean it. It's great. He's the best thing to come out of France since wine and cheese. I mean it. You will be wowed. And the fact that I don't know the cat, can't speak French to save my life and am not getting paid to write this should tell you all something."
