Kevin Smith is an old festival favorite, and both “Clerks”, “Chasing Amy” and “Dogma” have been shown at the Copenhagen Night Film Festival (NatFilm). In all thre films, the mystical supporting characters Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Smith himself) have stood at the side of the picture and smoked joints, while they’ve hurled out toilet humour as well as blasphemic and politically incorrect comments. Over time, they’ve gotten their very own fan following, and Smith has now pulled them into the mainstream and given them their very own movie. And naturally, the are a textbook example of bad taste and bad jokes, full of slanderous parodies of other movies, parodies on the producing company, Miramax, and a non-stop stream of genital jokes. Add to this a number of dedicated Hollywood people, who show up and play themselves, including Wes Craven, Gus Van Sant, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck. In “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back”, the last two mentioned are at work making a sequel to their joint breakthrough film, “Good Will Hunting”. Speed-talker Chris Rock, who played an angel in “Dogma”, also makes an apperance. He plays the movie director behind “Bluntman and Chronic”, who is meant to be making a film about the lives of Jay and Silent Bob, but is really a film version of the cartoon from “Chasing Amy”. Confused? It’s not half as complicated as it sounds. On the contrary, Smith gains greatly by raiding his previous movies, and the critic who called the movie “an in-joke of epic proportions” hits the joker right on the head.
